Been quite a while, since I last listened this song. But had the same joy listening to it today, as I had when I listened it for the first time.

Awesome !!! simply AweFukingSome.

[RyanUnsworth]

That was great, truly inspiring.

But one thing playing on my mind is, how do you do the sort of harmonic sounding thing at about 01:31?

Thanks!

[Donny10]

Thank you very much for the kind words! Regarding your question about the harmonics at 1:31, you have 3 sets of open string harmonics in the key of E m.

The 12th fret / 8th fret / and the 5th fret. Just hit those harmonics the same way on the 8th and 5th frets as you would normally on the 12th fret!

Thanks so much for watching!

Peace, Don~

[Insigma83]

you mean the 7th fret right?

[Donny10]

That is correct Insigma83, 7th fret, Sorry!

[kia1232]

You are a huge inspiration. Honestly, it's awesome to see this kind of stuff. I can see alot of use with natural harmonics between this and "Phantasm." Incredible. Maybe if I put some stuff together, I'll give you a shout. Truly immaculate...

[Donny10]

Thank you so much for the kind words and I really appreciate you taking time out to watch!

Peace,

Don~

[Borny]

Nice! Is this improvisations?

[Donny10]

Yes it is; I laid down an acoustic track that was on my mind that night and improvised over the rhythm. Thanks so much for commenting and watching!

Peace,

Don~

[SAUCEPANJEFF]

That was soothing.

[JASPERSMY]

OMG Don, You make me wanna pick-up my guitar and play for hours and hours to just try and be 1/10th as good as you are and I've been playing for some time!-) Keep up the amazing improv and look forward to lyrics soon too? CD release? Massive market for this! Jas

[Donny10]

Thank you so much for the kind words, the CD is going well, slowly but steady! Thanks again for your comments and thank you for watching!

Peace,

bit of a dull slow start, but as you picked up in tempo half way through, you ripped it man. Sounded brilliant.

[bastherrien]
