#Fingerpicking
I have 100% leveled up my #guitar again on this "round" of interest
I've been trying out different #fingerpicking and strumming patterns. I even had one of the 19yos in the house grooving along (i.e. headbopping) etc and another 19yo was later found whistling a song I'd been playing. It's starting to be more #music -al!
Not coincidentally, I've also started practicing with a metronome more often. I tend to play WAY too fast (except for the hard parts) so this overall makes things easier.

Un digne héritier de #JohnFahey et du l'#AmericanPrimitiveGuitar, un proche de #GlennJones, avec qui il a d'ailleurs écrit le somptueux album pour 2 guitares "The Things We Used To Do", cet album est celui avec lequel j'ai découvert ce guitariste. Vu en concert à Paris, dans un bel exercice de maitrise de son instrument. A écouter absolument.
Your Sunday challenge - name a more beautiful song to fingerpick on any instrument than Moon River...

learning from the masters
If anyone is wondering whether I have fallen away from the faith by distributing Bach, the answer is no.
I have role models and not everyone is a musical genius for the millennium like Chet Atkins, able to do this just like that after getting up.
The rest of us have to practise, and a little music theory doesn't hurt. Although you shouldn't overdo it.
Something artistic, then. Mr Atkins can't just play that on the guitar, which is already magic in itself. He also wrote and arranged it. No idea how he does it.

I am so grateful for your principled stand. You asked us to put your words on social media, so here they are (plus a few of my own - I hope you don't mind).
Just spent 10 minutes trying to remember this guy's name.
"This guy" being Jake Xerxes Fussell, one of the most interesting musicians in the folk-ish/Americana-ish/fingerpicking space. I've been a fan for a while now! Amazing how your brain can just go black like that.
Lots of trad tunes but done in a very thoughtful, subtle, inimitable way. If you like Sam Amidon and you don't know Fussell, check him out for sure.
This whole album is exceptional and perfect for a Sunday night.
In these challenging times, it’s more important than ever to hold onto values like empathy, compassion, kindness, and self-care.
Here’s a very short snippet of my song It’s Okay—the full version is available on my YouTube channel.
This song opens my album Cats & Coffee Cups, which was inspired by The Comfort Book by Matt Haig, one of my favorite authors. Critics have described his book as “a giant hug,” and I hope this song feels the same. Written in February 2022, It’s Okay is about being kind to yourself. It also sets the tone for the entire album—because “It’s okay” might just be the most comforting phrase in the universe.
I created Cats & Coffee Cups to bring a sense of comfort during difficult times—the same comfort I was seeking in 2022 when the world felt overwhelming. I know many people can relate to that feeling, and I hope these songs offer a little hope, solace, and faith.
Alongside the original album, there’s also Cats & Coffee Cups Bonus Songs and Cats & Coffee Cups Expanded Edition—all available on Bandcamp.

I wrote this song a long time ago, but was inspired to post it now because of the new Dylan movie.
Ice Cream Man

An ode to the ice cream man, who brought me such joy as a child. The pursuit made it special, not the treat.
Pay the Price
A song about my deep dissatisfaction with consumerism.
