I made this one short and sweet and simple.

It's a beautiful little piece from Markleford from 2005 called Tender Hesitation. It was originally a piano piece but I've re-worked it with just two acoustic guitars and fretless acoustic bass.

Kara,
I actually started this one off with a whistle, and its one of my favourite keys, Bb, which has a wonderful deep tone. Then the more I added the more out of place it was! Even to me!
Simple is better for this one.

This, Offthewall, is an exceedingly elegant piece. I enjoyed it very much, which is coming to be less and less of a surprise to me as I listen to your music. Always a pleasure.

Here you are with a nice track !
This is just reworked in your own style and I like it.
A good work

Cheers

+This is a great piece! Doesn't repeat itself, or so it seems. I wasn't expecting that nice spread and harmony after the 13-second intro. Like a musical massage almost-Ahh.

-There seems to be some discord at a few moments or something out of tune, it's a little disconcerting when that happens. It doesn't detract too much from the goodness though.
-I was expecting some keyboardy choir sound to creep in any moment there. A penny whistle would have done nicely too.

Thanks for the comments, spirulence.

A few people have commented on the 'out of tune' part.
To put the record straight.    If you listen to the original track by M'ford that intro section does, in fact include a 'discord'.  The problem arose, however, in the instrumentation.  In his original the two played parts 'sort of' gel together whereas, when translated to guitar parts the discord is more prominent.  To be honest I didn't like it but left it in to be true to the original!!    More fool me!
