Feb 2022 instrumental acoustic guitar open-c alternate-tuning
I don't tend to do much in the way of instrumentals during FAWM, but I started experimenting with open C tuning last night, and this is what came out. I haven't done much with open tunings either (might use a cut capo occasionally), but I've quickly come to like this one quite a bit.
(Instrumental, no lyrics. I feel like this would be a good soundtrack for a task at hand. Making coffee, for example.)

Alt tunings/cut capos do give different feel and voicing to the instrument; it's almost like playing a different instrument. I find it always unlocks creative potential for me. Very enjoyable instrumental. :)

I just made a cup of coffee - Diner Classic blend! So now I'm settling in with my cup to listen. To add to the setting, window open and a nice breeze.
And your lovely song suits the morning well. As I wrote this comment, the song ended, so I started again. So organic and flowing, and a bit exotic.
I don't do much open tuning on the guitar - your song intrigues me into trying it.

Open C has a long and storied history and it's also great fun. As is amply evidenced here (and who can resist a song about FAWM's hot beverage of choice?) That guitar really rings out with the lower tuning and that final chord is so, so satisfying. Lovely stuff.

Wow, this is so good! Those harmonics that you hit throughout the song are stellar. Such a soothing listen. You play absolutely beautifully.

This has such a lovely warm homey feeling. I could easily see this in a movie scene about time passing in bliss for a couple with consecutive shots of happy times rolling by with this piece as a backdrop, or perhaps a small village going about its daily business. Some sort of scene exuding contentment. I really enjoyed listening to this. I feel very relaxed right now. :)

Loving the vibes, man- making me think of a calm, sunny morning, imagining someone making a pot of coffee to start the day
