  • Follow me to the National Forest, where I perform an Ambient Guitar Meditation close to the ridgeline. Empty your mind and realize that (along with EE Cummings) that your head is a living forest full of songbirds.

      For sure, guitar is my "happy place". I know this is a majorly hippie-ish thing to say but guitar is an incredible tool for healing the soul. Use it well!

The guitar, being made from trees, coming back to sing for them, which, trees are use to music, since birds sing in them, it's like nature's complementing each other, & you my friend, are taking us into that great mystical journey through nature, well done!!!

    Hello there. New listener / viewer / subscriber. Lovely song. Some of my favorite artists are Jeff Pearce, Erik Wøllo, and David Helping. I'm really starting to think that I need to learn guitar to chill and join in on the fun! I have a life-long friend who's pretty much a guitar expert helping me make good gear decisions. Cannot afford GAS (been there done that with recording and synths) so it's great to have even more people to look to for info and ideas. NICE channel you have - thanks for sharing!

    utterly beautiful warm and dark guitar tone; the composition seems to spring from the environment around you. I got goosebumps when the wind struck up (I could see the leaves start blowing past) and it looked like you started really feeling it as the layers of music built up at the same time :)

Thanks for being awesome, and awesome at playing melodious songs. I love them as do my friends. Very relaxing. You told me you had a son my age. I'm not out of the army. This song helps me so much. If only I could explain. Not going to waste your time. Just want to thank you for being so amazing on the fiddle :) much love.

    I definitely agree that you need recognition. Your style and love for the music is apparent and I can literally hear it when you play. It's all the small little bends and such that just make you my favorite to listen to. I've listened to many ambient players on TH-cam and you are the best. This video right here proves it. Out side just making awesome sounds. I hope you realize this music is therapeutic for me. Thanks for being awesome and sharing your talent with me. Thanks for replying on one of your other videos to me. And like always. Keep up the amazing work. I know if you do more videos like this where you are outdoors with all the natural sounds, that for sure at least one man would listen to it a whole bunch of times (me haha). Especially if it were longer. Say ten times longer for instance :). Anyways. Thanks again and have an awesome time doing what you do.
    Sincerely
    Rain Forest
