Cloudburst

Get your own Harmonic Capo(tm) at http://www.weaseltrap.com ! This tune reminded me of a brief rainstorm, starting and ending with a few drops, but with a downpour inbetween. Fans of minimalism will recognize the Steve Reich and Philip Glass influences. The tuning is CGdgde, with my Harmonic Capo applied to the "dgde" strings. The piece looks simple, but the rhythyms can be very tricky.

Awesome, all that sound from one man. LOVE IT, I got my Harmonic Capo on my guitar right now, after seeing this I should take it off. I better practice more

[weaseltrap]

@saltytsp Don't feel bad. I'd have to practice for months to relearn this tune. This is one of the hardest ones I ever came up with. It's a killer.

PLEASE DON'T TAKE THE CAPO OFF!!! ;)
