Modal Feathers

Hey there ..:)

A 5 minute piece so relax and just waft along in the breeze for a while if it pleases you..

well then = birds of so many varieties... yet humans have the ability to change their feathers so to speak...

so what do you choose to wear... ???

This piece uses a few different scales and encompasses about 3.. = mainly blues /  mixolydian / and minor in passing..

Its a real waffling piece and just explores a few of the possibilities... I like to play the backing and see what comes out.. :))

Cheeeerrrss and Merry Christmas all :))))

SaunterinG

Yo all..

Did an entry for a challenge by Griff at BGU ( my online blues tutor )... = had to mix the major and minor scales in the key of G..... tricky stuff 4 me ...  Got some ideas as i was sauntering along the bay track so i thought the title of Saunter in G was particularly appropriate as the werd play on G as well :)))))))))) = now thats a double chin..

Here's a short piece i learnt from stephan lucarelli at guitar master class... its just called a duet ... and i use his backing... but i thought it deserved a name... and easy goin blues sounded just right...

Sounds simple but it's really quite hard 4 me to get flowing = maybe with the passage of time i will get it more atmospheric... .. Cheeeeerrrrrs alex  :0
