Reflections by Ben Powell (DADGAD Fingerstyle Guitar)

TAB NOW AVAILABLE from www.benpowellguitar.com
Here's an introspective piece written last year in Glasgow. The emphasis is on attempting to achieve the tone and vibrato that a cellist might convey. Thank you for watching. Cheers, Ben

Hey Ben,

I performed this song at a music competition festival last Saturday. I didn't win (I don't really know anything about the competitive part...) but I got quite a few people asking for the name of the composer. It's one of my favorite songs to play, especially before falling asleep.

Thanks!

@Cavin8r sorry you didn't win, but I am really pleased that you enjoy playing this one! I look forward to hearing you play it someday soon :)

When I hear DADGAD used like this, my fingers shrivel and feel like dropping off. Maybe it's envy, admiration or plain old boring rheumatism.

Absolutely gorgeous playing. Thanks.

(If only Davy Graham was alive to see what his work has inspired).

@AlanSturgess Thanks Alan, your comment made me smile and brightened my day... :)

Cheers, B

Hi Ben! I can´t get "Reflections" out of my head and I´d like to ask you if you have TAB´s for this song.

Thanks

Chris

@Chriseverettsongs Hi Chris, I've just made a start at transcribing the album - could take me a while but there'll be TABs eventually :) Thanks for listening!

OK, it's official: you are now in my personal "top three-favorite" contemporary guitarist...!

And I am dead drop serious.

A much admiring friend,

Pascal

@Qpidon :)) How do you wish to be paid this time? ;)

Beautiful composition, Ben. The vibrato is lovely. The cello effect is felt big-time.

I have just discovered Dadgad tuning but I never dreamed it could be this good!

Back to more practice methinks!

[BillyBoy777]

Absolutely wonderful...a soulful reflection of sunlight emanating through and around clouds at dawn...thank you!

@MrSkyche Keep at it man, it comes eventually!

[MrSkyche]

I only wish I knew how you played like this. This is my dream, to make music at this magnitude. I can not. No matter what I do, i can NOT do THIS. THIS is art. This is beyond beautiful. Words can not describe this. You can only get the full effect from hearing this. I love it. You are an inspiration to us all. Thank you for your gift to the musical world.

Hi Ben, we also got your CD in Rome and it was a great felling listening to your music and traveling through the Mountains of Teramo. Please check some of the Brazilian Guitar players; Baden Powel, Bola Sete, Joao Bosco, Dory (Dorival) Caymi. Different style but great music. Cheers from Curitba, Brazil. Marcelo and family.
