I understand the guitarist's journey well, brother. I recieved my first REALLY NICE guitar at a time when i felt like noone could possibly understand or reach me, and I was just so burdened with the entire world's problems - Yes, i speak of the terrible teens lol. But many a night (and many a beer, many a joint and/or the occasional LSD hit also lol) i spent in a chair next to the firepit, with that guitar glued to my hands, going off on deeply personal journeys that led me to better understanding of myself - sometimes for 12, 15 even 24 hours straight, playing until i had to tape my fingers back together. I feel lucky to know a musician who can recreate that feeling for me, even luckier to know that this community has TWO artists who can do that for me, and yes you are 50% of them. I wish I could bring my trusty yamaha acoustic and come sit with u and join u on a few of these sojourns, i truly do man.
Hello my brother, let me say for now you never know what the future holds....but for folk like ourselves we have an instrument that in its weird way it can entertain us or help us through some awful crazy stuff. And then you can have nice moments when you can actually record some beautiful phrases that resonate with a lot of people.....it's a great thing since music is so universal. It's good to know there are other members of this forum who easily understood and feel the music.....no matter the genre....let's keep producing what we do for everyone and especially ourselves.....stay tuned my friend.
Wow! Simply a Beautiful track that takes your mind and spirit to such a wonderful place. Such emotion in your guitar playing, along with the sparse but beautifully arranged ambient synth and drums. Absolutely a fave!
Hello Dennel, your comments and thoughts are most appreciated my friend. You know emotion sometimes just manifest itself right there unexpectedly and takes it's rightful place in your head and fingers and the rest is what you finish with. This track is definitely one of those in my opinion. When I started to play it I had no idea what it would turn out to be.....but I was pleased when it indeed turned out pretty well. Again thank U for listening.
It is obvious, you poured your soul into this composition. You play that guitar with such emotion and purity. It truly soothes the soul and demands complete and focused attention. Absolutely Beautiful. Congrats!
Hello Mykael, thank you for listening to this track, it's one of my favorite improvs. It's the joy of creating out of the blue and trusting your fingers to lay out what you're feeling.....might seem a little weird but it's how I look at.....the music is everything. I again appreciate your comments and time.
Im always there for one of your songs, dude, no debate there. This one has healing properties man, id swear it does. ive been dragging the last few hours, im exhausted from getting over the flu. but i feel like Ive gotten a second wind, maybe even inspired a bit. its been awhile since ive used elements similar to what tends to come from your work... i use the word work losely, I imagine its more like a short journey for u when u sit down with a guitar, and so a journey for the listener as well. as always, well done. - Aaron
Hello Pnnywze.....I can only tell you how much the comments are appreciated.....the playing part for me when improvising seems easier for reasons I can't explain except to say it's the only way I've played, and of course it's not without it's hits and misses.....but for the most part I manage to express on the guitar what I'm thinking and feeling. Im glad when others like yourself can understand that the thinking and playing are so connected at those moments. Again very appreciative of your words.
Greetings, Now this was very nice for me to listen to. I digged the flow on this beautifull guitar piece. It made me all feel relaxed on the inside. Very nice acoustic piece indeed. And probably one for my favs as well. So well done Glenn. Keep up the good work & one love Verdi
Hello Verdiqo....thank you plenty for your words and comments my friend.....mutual support drives us all forward and that will always be a good thing.....keep up your great work as well.
Hello Doofus my brother.....I recall very well doing this and saying it could be a decent track, and it turned out to be. I very much appreciate your words of course and your time....that's important.
Hello BONEZONMARZ....thank you thank you for listening and commenting on this....very much appreciated. Im currently not streaming on any platforms but that may change next year.....again thank you.
I used to have a Fender Strat sunburst and a Fender amp. Was a big fan of the Shadows and Blues.
The beginners books how I hated them crappy songs. I loved your improv that's what I do on my modx all the time.
Really nice playing and nice guitar sound. All the best.
Hello DarrenHirst, thank you for listening to my track ......I have a few Ibanez that I use more than the others when improvising. The tone is a constant search for me.....I use a couple of pedals that seem to satisfy that search....again thank you my friend.
beautiful track glenn, love the sound of the Ibanez, its a fine looking guitar too, this just makes you daydream and drift away its so on point perfect, excellent work my friend
Hello Dimestop, man I sure appreciate you listening to my tracks.....it's the enjoyment first of all to just play and then to share some of it is just as rewarding. I thank you again my friend.
This is the guy that goes out by the water, after the party is over and sits playing this on the beach, after telling everyone he will catch them up. Cliff Richard's Shadows would've loved this and I could easily imagine part of this easing into an Elvis Love Ballad. So versatile and beautiful.
Hello VintageNights, your comments are very much appreciated my friend....it's more than rewarding to play some of this but more rewarding to be able to share it. I know how I feel when it's done but I hope that others will like it and that is most rewarding.....thank U once more.
Hi there DEMYBU, I can see that as well....sounds like a nice place to sit back and relax playing the guitar.....thanks for listening and commenting my friend.
Hi,
After staying up working so late on my paperwork this track just chilled me right out, what a gem of a track this is can't believe it doesn't have a world of comments/love but I'm glad I listened I think I listened before but always know when something is super good because I find myself returning back to it. B*E*A*U*T*I*F*U*L work here. Faved OUTSTANDING!
Hello CelestiaAngel777, I'm very pleased it was a song you enjoyed....this particular track is one of my favorite improvs and doubt If I can do anything better in my opinion....it's that special to me. Of course im gonna try but sometimes you hit a feeling and that feel is hard to duplicate. Music is a funny thing....you never know when those few notes align themselves with the right melodies and magic can happen. I thank you once more for your time and comments and look forward to tomorrow.
Hello, Glenn, my name is Jared, Im Aaron's (pnnywze) brother, and a vocalist in the group we put together. Ive been making my way around the community and listening to alot of great music from some insanely talented folks. And its not hard to see why my brother likes your guitar pieces so much - This is truly great man. My brother plays too, but not as much as he used to. And never quite like this - This feels almost transformative, dude. So glad i pressed play on this one.
Hello Jared , you guys are doing great things and I greatly appreciate listening to all the super talented people on looperman.....I'm just a guy who likes playing or tries hard at playing guitars. I'm not a true player....I just enjoy looking for something I can blend my weird style of improv to and make it sound decent. I have other tracks I will plan to share if anyone cares to listen and am glad to know you guys.....your works are great and informative.....it helps a lot of us to be more creative....I thank you for that and your comments my friend.
man, this the second chill song I heard tonight. I'm almost in a meditative state. this song is awesome. It has a vey smooth energy flow. great guitar play.
Hello Mindhiest.....I appreciate you giving my track a listen my friend.....this is one of my favorites.....I'm more into chillout and ambient style music these days so I sort of gravitate to this style....I thank you for checking it out.
Glenn, hello. I don't know if you are familiar with Looperman's very own Tumbleweed, but he is also a phenomenal guitarist. This song reminds me of some of his work. I mention him, not to take away from your abilities or skills, but instead to say that it would be amazing to hear the two of you collaborate on a call and response duet. What a captivating "conversation" that would be.
Just listening to this, I can tell that when you play, you disappear from this plane and exist solely in the dimension where music is like an omnipresent being. A place where you have to ask yourself, "Am I creating this music, or am I just a vessel for the music that was already there?" I imagine when it's time to stop, you have to come up for air.
Anyhow, excellent work. It is definitely a Chill-out song.
Take care.

Hello there ValveD.....brother that's a lot to take in but let me say when I'm improvising with the guitar I know I'm constantly looking forward and playing notes before I actually play it....to play in time your thoughts have to sync with the music....along with picking and fingering and so on. My mind is always someplace else when I play. But anyway I have listened to some of Tumbleweeds work and think he's a great artist musician and all those things....guys like this are far past my music position. I just enjoy contributing the music that I am able to share. I have added a few loops from Tumbleweed to my list and hope to maybe share it with you and everyone soon.....I will say you never know what the future holds.
Hi Richard my friend.....I have a lot more to share, i appreciate you and everyone who listens to my tracks as well as all others. Our music will keep us moving forward in ways we don't understand.....gonna take time though. There's a lot of work to be done....got a great love of music and very happy to share it.
Hi Richard my friend.....I appreciate your words and who knows what the future holds. I do know that there are many great musicians and other artist on this site that are very talented. Im just happy to be able to add my tiny contributions of guitar to the mix.....to be able to actually collaborate with any of you in a way is a lot more than I would have pondered. Playing by heart and feel and improving serves me in some ways but others it may not fit....I do look forward to some ideas when it seems like the right feel and that I really mean. I'm enjoying a lot of the great music on this site and you , John and others gove me reasons to stay engaged....so let's push forward and see what could happen one day, anythings possible.....with much respect.
