This is really nice! I like the different tonalities you explored. Sometimes it really is nice to just sit back and see where the melody wants to go and just hang on for the ride. Very nice job! The guitar sound is really nice as well.

Nice one! I like the sustain clean tone.

Nice man. Around 110 there is a bit that sounds very much like Opeth, made me do a double take. Great stuff always.

Super clean reverb, love the tone.  Was that a Phrygian Dominate scale that you started off with? I definitely got a hijazz vibe initially.

Well done. Nice guitar tone, sensible playing. Very pleasant listen.

Skillful noodling. Jazzy indeed, I dig it. I like how it's not attached to any grid or click but the passages themselves have their own inner rhythm, guided gently by the delay but not ruled by it.

It's a nice relaxing improv and the guitar does sound really nice.  Sometimes it's good to just see where the flow takes you.

Always amazing guitar work man.

Sometimes simple, well executed guitar with a little reverb and delay is what we all need. Thanks for sharing

Great mysterious ride.

calling it right now ITS LYDIAN probably maybe

it's true though, the past WB tracks of mine that i felt were the most original usually involved going wherever with the melody first and then harmonizing later

A track born from deep focus and listening that inspires deep focus and listening. This is beautiful, and it's awesome to hear about the process and the experience of improvising. And it worked wonderfully - thanks to the care you took to put every note in context, nothing felt out of place to me.

The guitar sounds great overall with such a nice lush delay and verb.  It had some noir or david lynch feels to it or even like a moment where the main character is on a rooftop playing alone (ala the crow).  Had to listen twice cuz so mellow and good

I mean... MAYBE it's Lydian... I don't remember. Haha.
I just picked up my guitar to see if I could guess what it is since I was originally just going with the flow. If Lydian Flat 3 is a thing I guess it would be that? I know enough music theory to get by but I still name things incorrectly. Actually, Napear, I'd be interested in hearing your take on a "Lydian Flat 3" in one of your piano compositions

Over the years I've just built up a mental catalogue of chord shapes and phrases in my head so I just started pulling stuff out at random. Let me fingers fall where they fell and tried embracing whatever key change occurred. Wish I had a better or helpful way of explaining it but that's about it for this one.

Thanks! It's definitely kind of a cool little moment to capture from last week. I used to just do this kind of thing on the piano in 2020 because I didn't really know what I was doing, so trying out the same method of "Just put my fingers on the fretboard somewhere" idea for guitar was nice.

I'm loving the lynchian comparisons, haha. Although I did use another image from Twin Peaks so I guess maybe I'm showing my hand too much
