Hi all - just enjoying this Gitane D500 guitar I purchased used, and felt I wanted to post something today which basically is a rhythm thingy I play often.. Peace and Love! Cheers!

This video will have NO sound check or demo. That will be in the next one following this. This is just a story of how I acquired this guitar I've been searching for years now, how I found it on eBay, and the horrors that came when I received it. Apologies for the messy room! LoL!

"Dahil Sa Iyo" (Because of You) is a song by Mike Velarde, Jr. written in 1938 for the movie, Bituing Marikit (Pretty Star) and sung by Rogelio de la Rosa A version with English-Tagalog lyrics, recorded in 1964, was a hit in the United States and continues to be popular in Filipino communities on American soil. One of the most popular examples of the kundiman (love song) genre, this "classic Filipino love song" with original Tagalog lyrics has been translated into different languages. The languages it was translated in include English, Spanish, Japanese, Chinese, and other local languages of the Philippines.

Since we are in isolation, I collaborated with my former HS Glee Club buddy back in 1979. He played the keyboards for this and sent it to me (just did everything online and no rehearsals while on lockdown). I am in the East Coast USA and he is in Manila Philippimes 10,000 miles away just reminicing the Good 'Ol Days...I am using my 76 Stratocater. Hope you are all doing safe! Take good care and God Bless!

I saw this brand new on Reverb and it was about $500 but I already owned a flat black one same model that I purchase used a few years ago. Finally the man at Reverb emailed me and informed me they have dropped the price to half with free shipping! Spoke to the wife and she gave me the thumbs up! My wife's name is "Karma" and that is exactly what I will name this guitar!

Working on melody by ear with improvisation and dynamics. Long way to go but it is a start. A year ago I could not even do this!

Hi All! I upgraded my Squier Classic Vibe Telecaster with TexMex pick-ups and 12 gauges strings to omit that classic Ted Greene sound for jazz improv and also chord melody!

Though this was rated to lowest quality Korean made Squire, I love this guitar!

I'm testing this new pedal I got. I set the amp to British amp channel + OD. Apologies for the obvious mistakes! I am really trying my best to sound melodic and improvise with a theme. Lots more work lies ahead....it's tough! LoL!

Since I've discovered neo soul guitar style, I'm really loving the double stops so I started really just training on them and figuring things out. I'll definitely play more of these. Right now it's as simple as can be with this very short solo. Having mic issues so pleas adjust your volumes! Cheers to all you nice folks!

This is a great pedal to practice licks arpeggios and with some creativity ala Bill Frisell, you can even make it part of your musical compositions. I really have fun with it and has become my favorite pedal for practicing scales etc..Oh and BTW- The Black "Misty" AF75 BK Ibanez is back!

It's the last day of summer here in the US so thought I'd arrange a farewell song for summer. This song is not complete.I started arranging this chord melody on my own by ear as I was inspired by Bill Frisell's arrangement. I worked the beginning and ending verse. I will complete the bridge of the song which I am not familiar with so I need to be able to hear it in my head first! I'll also clean it out...Cheers!.

Practicing this piece as part of my music sheet reading.

Backing track by Elevated Jam Tracks on YouTube! Thanks guys!

Why I continue playing guitars despite....Cheers my friends!
