This weeks featured artist on "Open The Door Spotlight", a grass roots effort to feature talented Original singer/songwriters, is Cinder Jean.  She's great! Have a listen:  http://www.acousticguitarcommunity.com/profiles/blogs/open-the-door...

Hi David, I'm flattered that my music teased your ears...

You mention bossa nova - my song Georgy Brown has a latin rhythm that non fingerstylists will find very difficult to follow...

Here's a link to my MySpace music page where you'll find the song:

Thinking about latin rhythms again - (for variety) - my Fingerstyle guitar song samples video (on my youtube channel) has another fingertwisting rhythm to the song, Carnival.

Warm regards,

Clive

I checked out Leapfrog and Arietta.

Arietta shows your Classical guitar beginnings and foundation, while Leapfrog shows you wanting to "branch out", with all the jazz voicings. You have great technique. Very cool. 

You tease my ears sometimes, because with the nylon string guitar and your prodigious technique, I keep thinking your going to break into a Jobim bossa nova groove, any bar now, and then...you don't. You might want to check some of those rhythms out. I think it would be a nice texture, to compliment your voice, on some things. Just a little variety.

Really enjoy it.

Thanks for your kind comments and observations, David...

It's embarassing when a guitar loses tuning, I think this was one of the very rare times when it happened to me...

Please take a moment to view some of my other videos;

Clive,

Very clever songwriting. You know how to turn a phrase. I really like your voice, which is why I would recommend slowing the song down, so you can better hear those clever verses. They need to be heard. Maybe even put a latin rhythm to it? 

One more thing, don't mean to be a downer, but please, please, please tune your guitar or change the strings. Nylons strings can be hard to tune, if they have been one the instrument, for awhile.

Truly, great job. I look forward to what you've got next.

David
