Admittedly, after listening to this song and your one from last week, I regret that I somehow didn't keep up with your music the last couple of years. I checked and I commented on a few songs back in 2020 and 2022, but not nearly enough and that's UNACCEPTABLE. I'm going to do a better job this year of keeping up with your output, the guitar playing especially resonates with me. I really like those moments like 1:30 where you let the empty space just fill with the resonance of the last chord.

One question: do you change string gauges too? The tunings are very nice.

Thank you, Emily! It's fifths and fourths, so fingerings translate all over the fretboard...but my standard-tuning reflexes don't work on it, so it's a good spur to finding something new.

Thank you! Glad you like them! I do like leaving a bit of space at the ends of phrases, rather than using them for fills.

I did compile a couple releases of the all-guitar weeklies last year, and a couple of the 2022 WB pieces ended up on 'em. (Of the two, maybe Laodica is the stronger collection, but I'm fond of the stuff on Eastern, too.)

Thank you all!

Thank you! I didn't change the string gauge on this guitar, but I was already using heavier strings. This guitar uses D'Addario jazz-lite half-rounds, so it's 12-52, which I also use on the home-built Res-O-Glas. There are other guitars I'll keep in a lighter gauge (10-46). I do like those half-rounds. (I really ought to change strings on some of 'em--I keep strings on for a loooooong time. I kind of like how strings age.)

Thank you!

this is gorgeous, Maurice. that downtuned Univox sounds so deep and clear.
i also use 12's on my semi-hollowbodies, but i typically use the EB "not even slinky" sets which i think are 12-56.
might just loop this song for a bit, thank you

Wow, that tuning, and you composition, so beautiful! Nice work, I could listen to an album of this and just get into flow relaxed state.

That tuning does you a lot of good, it feels nice and the bass tone is pleasant. Stellar performance as usual.
