Thanks for the compliments! I do digital art for my blog listed in my profile. I use various graphics programs to "construct" an image. And for a trial period I had Adobe's Lightroom which allowed me to adjust photographs I took of my own guitar and my son's guitar. I enjoy a grungy feel of images so I do use Texture backgrounds. I usually explain how I do them on my blog.

Lately I've done a few images of our new Grandson Zeke (Ezekiel) and some others not guitar related.
"Collision Warning" was a blast, it seems the more enjoyable they are to create the better they sound! Very happy you enjoyed it too!
hey steve so your a teacher my wife is at school right now she has a 4-5 split.........thanks for inviting me as a friend . your my first friend from the usa.have a good one
I have had many suggestions to make changes in my songs, so the question you raised is a good one. How many times can you reshape a tune and should you copyright every change in succession? I'm afraid I don't have an answer for that.
My guess is it is up to the songwriter how he copyrights his tunes and whether or not to copyright successive changes. I am not sure you could use the same "titles" as you have already copy written the original tune!
I think you've raised a group of questions with your thoughts, and I am no expert! LOL!
Thanks for the comments Steve. Sorry about the bar chords, I hang my head in shame. Seriously though I thought the sparse accompaniment worked well when the melody goes down the octave. Interesting you feel it didn't. I'll maybe rethink what I'm playing at that point. Good feedback.
I had a listen to your stuff,keep it up some good sounds there.
Hi Steve , thankyou for your feedback on the Video
Hope all is going well with your CD .. and the Mac.. been using them for years ,, recording using Logic,
the tunes you have posted here are good ,, look forward to hearing the end result
Cheers

Thanks for the comments on my songs, Steve. There's still a lot to learn but it is a blast. I have a lot more on my YouTube page, if you care to check 'em out.
Hi Steve. Thanks for the compliments on my tunes. I like yours, as well. While it is a rough recording (so are mine) I think the melody and guitar are quite lovely.
I just listened to "You're All I Need"-as the guys on the Home Recording group said the vocals do need to be up in the mix but that is something you will figure out the more recording you do. I frequently have trouble getting my recordings to be loud enough but I'm working on it!!!! I use different recording software than you do (Pro Tools) but I am also learning my way around it but the journey is fun. I did like your song (I bet your wife did too) and your guitar playing came throught loud and clear. What Taylor do you have???
