"Without You" composed by Michael Gulezian / performed by Tim Pacheco, Solo Acoustic Guitar.

"Without You" is one of my favorite songs for acoustic guitar, composed by my friend Michael Gulezian. It appears on his 1979 album "Unspoken Intentions". I remember hearing it and listening to it over and over again. A very beautiful, moody piece.

I've done a studio recording of it for my upcoming solo guitar CD. I finally had the opportunity to learn the song when Michael was playing a gig in my hometown and he stayed with my wife and I. I asked him to play it for me and I video taped him. I was able to learn this tune off the video. Thanks Michael!

this was a lovely song and well played... I also play a Geiger fingerstyle guitar (the Crane)... Mark's guitars are easily the best guitars I have played - ever.

@SermonsinSong - thanks for the reply and comment. Do you live in Southern California where Mark Geiger lives or how did you hear about his guitars? He's makes wonderful guitars for sure!

I am going to wear this song out. Anyone who appreciates your talent has experienced what it's like to be transported by music--the power of a sense memory of decades ago when innovators started to play impressionistically--one phrase triggered Joni Mitchell--love it.

@MsMangomonkey Wow, thanks for the terrific comment!

Well played. I have that cd, and it is a great tune. You took the tune and played it your own way, which I think he would encourage.

Michael is definitely a unique person and a free thinker on the guitar. I am waiting to see if anything comes of the tune that he started to compose on my old Taylor 555.

Thanks, I really love the tune. I think I stayed pretty close to the original, but there are a few parts that I just did my own thing with. Michael is a wonderful guy who has a wonderful spirit. He just finished recording a new CD, maybe the song you speak of is on it?!

@TimPachecoGuitar ...I am traveling most of the time, and we are frequently in Southern California (we are near Covina and the Fret House for a few weeks now). I found my guitar through Annetta Glick in San Diego (Fine Guitar Consultants), and chose it over many other big-name instruments. It has no peer, IMHO...

Very well played. I've uploaded my cover of 'Little Meggie' which you might be interested in watching. It's a pity that Michael Gulezian isn't that widely known in the guitar community otherwise there may have been more cover performances than yours and mine.

Thanks Jenn!

Thank you for the compliment. This is the only song I know of Michael's, although I'd love to learn "Little Meggie".
