Well... ...I think the church-like sound is very well captured on the electric. Can't say I wouldn't love to hear you on an acoustic...but this is beautiful, Mark. Check out my latest song called Outside the Corral

I think that alot of electric guitar is being played in those evangelical mega-churches-but probably a slightly different style! Check out my latest song called Blues in Bm

Hey Mark, I'm listening over my best haute-fidelity headphones, and this sounds really, really good... As a feelingful performance, it's wonderful, and the recording is as good as I think you're going to get until that left hand of yours lets you return to the acoustic... This is truly beautiful... Bell-like tones and a lovely reverberation... I love it all, but I especially love the final jig... Ed Check out my latest song called Next Time Around (w/jiguma)

Thanks Ed I kind of think that the reverb washes it out too much-but it's kind of an interesting sound. Check out my latest song called Blues in Bm

Bravo Mark This is just exactly what you wanted it to be. Has an almost Nylon string sound to it to my ears. But there's more to it than just the nylon sound. The reverberations makes it sound like it's played in a cathedral. Your playing is exquisite as always. Thank you for sharing this one Mark, it's a very beautiful piece.

Reverb The 'verb works well to get a churchy sound - the guitar almost sounds like an organ in spots. Breathtaking and sacred - wonderful track, Mark. Check out my latest song called Deeper (w/t Racerat)

I must say that from what I can hear, your hand is working far better than mine. Beautiful 15/16th century sounding tones. It would be nice as a backdrop to a mediaeval film I think, regards M Check out my latest song called Come Back Billie

Do you mean one of those films with the wandering minstrel who goes from town to town playing his stratocaster? Actually my hand works pretty well-it's just extremely hypersensitive.Minor things which should not hurt can cause very bad pain. Check out my latest song called Blues in Bm

churchiness Beautiful tone. Just enough familiar passages to make one feel comfortable and just enough departures to keep one on ones toes. I really liked the progression and atmosphere.

Harpsicord I think the electric guitar sounds fantastic on this track. Acoustic would sound nice, but the electric gives it a little something different, which is great. Call me crazy, but I'd like to hear this played on a harpsicord. Maybe that's just me, I'm always going for baroque... sorry. I had to say it. But seriously, I think it would really translate beautifully. Check out my latest song called Times Have Changed

Liturgical Bach would have been very comfortable with this. So you wrote this? You've really got composing chops. Love the voicings and the constantly moving bass line against the contrasting melody. Reminds me of Lenten hymns from the Lutheran hymnal I was raised on. The changing meter is a good choice -- interesting structure. Sorry to hear about your left hand. That really stinks.

I tried to write the first piece using Bach type harmony with no parallel 5ths,etc.The next 2 are celtic type melodies-I think there are several "broken rules" in there.Bach would have covered his ears! Check out my latest song called Blues in Bm

nice choice... Very cool synergistic choices here... first, the melodies and harmonies are sweet and satisfying. Secondly, the steel-strings give a sharper attack, which creates more of a metallic-ringing, almost bell-like tone. Then, the tune is played slowly, so each note has its own life as it slowly decays. Finally, the cathedral-reverb enhances the carillon effect... and all these choices create a very rich "Renaissance-Cathedral" kind of feel. Exquisite. ttfn, Drakonis PS - gorgeous photo, where is that? Check out my latest song called Lullaby for the Inner Child

Quotes? The classical harmonies give this tune the solemn atmosphere you aim for, so that's mission accomplished. Erm, there are a couple of phrases that I would change slightly: right now it sounds like you're playing "let nothing you dismay" and "should audl acquaintance"....
