Acoustic Heart & Soul

I realize this probably isn't news to anyone who considers himself or herself my friend, but wow, I love the acoustic guitar. I have been known to tell my better guitarist friends to record themselves just playing for hours so that I can listen to it all the time. And I always mean it. My heart finds rest when I listen to the beautiful composition of a melody line finger picked on an acoustic with the accompanying chords to go with it. It's like I expect a composition like that from a piano, but it just mystifies me that anyone could figure that out on a guitar. AND, it doesn't even necessarily have to be complicated. A simple finger picked guitar line accompanying a singer is really everything that anyone could ever need. I wish I could play the guitar better, haha.

I doubt that anyone I have asked to record themselves playing the guitar reads my blog, but holy moly. That would be one heck of a gift.
