Yes, nice and dreamy. It conjures up
all kinds of nature images for me.

Your fine playing is well supported
by the choice of RT's and the surprising
RD.

We much enjoyed it!

Hi Sergio,

Your playing is quite all right here!
we also very much like the piano intro of this song.
The piano part itself could easily become a song of its own.
If you ever plan on writing a singing melody and lyrics for this, let us know!

Hello friends,

thanks for your posts.
I'd like to write a song for singing a day; but there are
two problems, I do not have a good voice and my English is not the best.
Maybe someday......


Meanwhile, thanks for your comments and advice.

Sergio.

Sergio,

Why not write a song in Italian? It doesn't have to be in English. This is a worldwide forum.

Personally, I think Italian is a brilliant language for music. As soon as I typed that, the following song popped into my head. It was the very first Grammy winner for "Record of the Year" and "Song of the Year".

Here's the original Italian version
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4IjJav7xbg

It's been translated into heaps of languages and played in hundreds of different styles. The below version is one of my favourites. I highly recommend listening if you like flamenco guitar!

I'd better not forget Dean Martin...

I'm sure most people who listen will agree that Italian and music go together like sunny days and beaches.

Enjoy smile

All the best,
Noel

P.S. I really enjoyed your music, too!

Hi Noel,
you're right
Italian is a good language for songs.

We had several good groups in 60's up to 80's
I name here the best to me:
Pooh, Orme, Equipe 84, Dik Dik, Nuovi Angeli, New Trolls,
Camaleonti.

and singers too: Lucio Battisti, Mina (that was born in my town Cremona) Gianni Morandi, Little Tony, Domenico Modugno and others..

To me the best was Ivan Graziani.
I don't know if you ever heard talking about him in your country. He made good songs and he was a great guitarist too


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3KtATaeA9M


However I grew up with foreign music: Bob Dylan, Neil Young, John Denver, James Taylor, Eagles, Al Stewart, Chris Rea up to Suzi Quatro in 70's

in my mp3 collection Italian music represent a small part of it.

Maybe a day I'll make a song (Italian or English)we will see.

Hello friend.

Sergio. This is very nice. Excellent playing over the right choice of RealTracks. I agree this is a song waiting for lyrics. It's almost anthem in style. It's a really good melody that you've created with your guitar playing. Enjoyed my listen.

I like the melody to this and the progression.

The bass was a bit too heavy on this speaker system. I listen on computer speakers and this was booming on the low end. Might want to look at taming it a bit.

Add nothing that adds nothing to the music.
You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

I have never heard of Ivan before. I really enjoyed listening to "Lugano addio". It's a terrific melody and beautifully harmonised. The arrangement is also very skilfully assembled.

Thank you for bringing him to my attention.

All the best,
Noel
