It is exactly "what it says on the tin" ... a musical sketch of sorts ... a musical portrait, if you will. Hope you enjoy - thanks for listening and for any feedback.

EDIT (31 May 2020): MarioD has ever so kindly asked me if he could add a lead to this musical bed of mine ... I of course said: "absolutely" to that, so here it is: https://soundcloud.com/jamesdelsono/sketch-with-mario_guitar . I hope you enjoy.

James D,
lovely piece. The Realdrums are spot on - not clicky kick or overwhelming hihats.
Very pleasant progression.
Well done.

James,
I enjoyed your flowing use of this style- the nylon guitar making such nice patterns.

James, this is LOVERLEEEEE !! Nice use of chords with nothing drowning out anything else.
Hope you're ok doon in the ' smoke ' ?

A rhythm track that flows very nicely. I think that it needs a lead line but that is just my opinion.

Hello ...

This is so relaxing. And I enjoyed those unexpected chords ... I always like originality and creativity, and you have a lot of that here.

I would call it a musical bed. I've written quite a few of them and always enjoy them. A really sweet mic ... well balanced on the pan and every instrument has it's own space. You excelled with this one!

I truly enjoyed it! Wishing you the very best. Be safe!

Alan

Thanks, everyone, ever so much!

furry: thanks! I haven't seen Central London in a while, I live in one of the suburbs and I'm meticulously self-isolating for now. How are you? Hope everything is ok there in bonnie Scotland!

Alan: thank you. I'm so glad you enjoyed this little musical bed of mine. MarioD has been kind enough to contact me and ask me if he could add a lead to it, which I of course said "absolutely" to ... so here it is, I hope you enjoy it if you have time to listen: https://soundcloud.com/jamesdelsono/sketch-with-mario_guitar . Thank you so much for listening and for such ever so kind comments!

MarioD: THANK YOU!!!
