I finished work a little early yesterday so I went and visited my friend Derek who plays a lovely nylon string guitar in the vain of gypsy flemenco he has stacks of sheet Music that he can play ,... any way he said lets go for a walk in his land lords garden which is beautiful lots of trees flowers and pretty birds he told me to be very quite so we had a nice smoke and Derek proceeded to just play what he calls playing the mood ,...ie what is around him at the time he just feels it then plays it ,... so he was playing away the most awesome guitar I am allways spellbgound when he plays,.. any way the most amazing thing started happening lots of pretty parrots sarted landing very close to him we were on a picnic table the birds were landing on the table right next to Derek and they were watching him play ,..one even hoped on to his knee ,.I mean these birds are wild parrots I was dumb founded,.. when derek stoped playing the birds all flew back into the trees ,..Derek smiled and said to me 'isnt that so cool I had an audiance "
He played the mood it was all his music made up on the spot the and birds loved it.
I am trying to talk him into posting a vid on you tube as he has nothing on the net thus far ,I have offered to film him,.. this may take a while as he is a funny kind of guy but needs to be heard Ill keep you posted.
Have a magic day,..
Just Amazing ..Blown away

Very cool. It sounds like your friend was very much in tune and harmony with the moment.
who cares if this story is true or not,what the hell has it got to do with techniques,playing styles and music theory???aaronm wrote:well my arse cant talk ,,..and that story is true weather you believe it or not ,..thats up to you i guess
along with all the other stupid threads/questions that mean nothing to anyone this whole forum is being ruined single handed by one person.....
