acoustic guitar sketch today.  went back to my 2022 pattern of starting around 11pm and recording a quick scattered fragment of song into my iPhone.  bounced it into Ableton for some eq, Valhalla verb and ozone.

tuning is cgdgce for those interested.  often use cgcgce but got lazy and didn't adjust the 4th string.

hesitantly played yes but then again I always need more practice!

This is HEALING. There's something magical about your acoustic guitar compositions/noodles/recordings! ✨

Feels like you not adjusting that one string gave way to more curiosity in the playing. Idk how it sounds otherwise but I like that sharp 4th or whatever it is in the main harmony. It's amazing how much you got out of the alternate tuning!

I've been holding my breath for this sound again from you and I'm glad it's finally here 😍😍😍 made my day!

Very very nice. I am flashed by the quality of your phonerecording. The guitar sounds like coming from a Nick Drake Album.

The acoustic guitar just fills up so much space. Really beautiful, these kinds of pieces make me practice my guitar harder so that one day I can just noodle something like this out haha. Really great work. I'll definitely be coming back for more in the coming weeks.

This is really nice, so relaxing. I'll need remember that tuning.

it's absolutely beautiful.

I don't care how fast you did this or how last minute, it's wonderful!

Love it! If this is an iPhone recording, maybe I'm done being an Android boy 😂

I tried cgcgcd this week.  not quite sure which I like best.  next week I may swap up again and try cgdgce just to round it off.

thanks! I've found that if you play it through the iPhone speaker it will just be clipping to heck so you don't get much of an idea of sound until you get it into a daw for processing. also - the iPhone adds so much compression it doesn't need much when processing.
