[landothegreatest666]

ahh the sounds of rundle mall, its awesome when your just strolling down and you can hear Andy getting louder, get your money out, and chuck this man some money for his talent

[adde65]

@landothegreatest666 Thanks - could use a manager with your enthusiasm haha!

[landothegreatest666]

@adde65 ha ha, well i always say to my friends that you make the ultimate chill-out music and your 3 CD's that i bought from ya are always ambient tracks for any shindigs i throw, so im your one-man advertisement team boo ya!

I love the progression at 1:59. Simple but very effective with that lovely melody over it. :D Trying to do it on guitar, but very hard as you cant play with two hands as easily, you need a better set up. ;D

[adde65]

@JadeMRE The Stick functions quite differently from a guitar for this type of playing. Once you develop a "motor" in one hand, it becomes relatively easy. Conversely, some stuff is much easier on guitar/bass. For tapping on conventional instruments, you really need to have a specific setup for the technique.

Not enough people know about you, thankyou for gracing the mall with this beautiful music.

[adde65]
