  Well, this evening I was playing my guitar. The piece that I was practicing was called "Midsummer's Daydream" by rik Emmet. It is a beautiful piece and has many subtle dynamics and nuances that are very hard to capture. I started learning this piece when I was 16 and found ot to be very tricky and hard, I practiced and practiced for years, trying to get some of the faster runs down and after 17 years of perseverance, i finally got it down, i could play this piece at Rik's speed without error and had the dynamics down. It sounds amazing when all the notes come together and the runs blend in perfectly. On one note you have to hit a high D on the e string that has to ring clear or else the piece sounds limp, it was here after making a clean intro and was making my way to this point when I plucked the string and SNAP!!!.
the damn string broke and nearly gouged out my eye. It was last year that i made a recording and gave it to a special person, the recording was heavily edited and pieced together through the magic of modern recording technology, I wanted to make a new recording for this person that was not pieced but a complete run......maybe in the next few days I'll get to it. After all she is worth it.
