Heartache at C

I thought Major Key was supposed to be happy?

C Major - BT by Nick Kellie. VB adds gloom and sadness to the proceedings.

Melancholic hindsight is how I would describe the mood of this song. Like the good times you used to have with a loved one but they are not with you any more. Tastefully done as always and a nice easy listening piece, don't have to wonder where it's going, just enjoy the journey.

That's what I thought, too. A pleasure to listen...

Very nice! I like the melancholy aspect.
Major key is a tough one for me. You did a nice job with it. We ought to do up a Major collab sometime.

Make us all think.

Thanks to everyone for listening and for your encouraging words - I appreciate it a lot. Sorry I keep posting work here that isn't really "blues".

Thank you.

Happy and joyful at home at least when I'm in the company of my wife, family and guitars.

Nicely put = quite poetic there Mike! Tasteful is fine by me. I suppose listening to it again it's more wistful than sad. Don;t know where the notes came from.

A pleasure to play - and a pleasure to be able to post it up here to share with my friends around the world. Thank you.

Thank you, glad you liked it - I've been encouraged to branch out by members here like yourself - remember the bossa.
The major collab would be a good idea - I'll keep it in mind as I search around through the far too many BTs I have cluttering up my laptop.

Moody? Yes.

Melancholy? Not particularly.

Very focused playing. I find it a very relaxing tune to listen to.

I didn't find it gloomy at all,
just laid back and melodic

Nice work VB

Thanks Deacon / Bluez2Move - I appreciate the encouragement.

"Laid back and melodic" - I guess that's what I'd like my life to be - so that's why I try to play that way to escape to a laid back and melodic place for a while. I think I like the sound of that. I just wish I could carry that feeling around with me at all times.
