🙏🏽 I’m once again humbled and excited to hear this piece resonates with you, Stuart. Thank you for your kind feedback and for sharing your impressions. Looking forward to reading your mails when I have a time slot available 🙃 Talk soon!

Thanks man! It’s CGDEGD plus capo on the 4th fret 🤙🏽

Thank you!

Thank you 🙏🏽

I’m currently quite busy writing new music among other things and haven’t gotten around to transcribing Passerby just yet. Let me get back to you here once I got it done. However, it’ll probably take a while…

Thanks to you for stopping by again and leaving your kind words, Seagull! I very much appreciate it.

I love that picture! Thank you 🙏🏽

I appreciate the compliment. Thank you so much 🙏🏽

It means a lot, Dustin. Thank you 🙏🏽

Ich danke dir!

Thanks Dean, hope you’re doing good!

Hey there, thanks so much. At the time of writing I’m afraid I don’t have tabs available for this song, but they’ll be done at some point. You will then find them on my Bandcamp page. Would you like for me to get back to you / to this comment once I got them done? Let me know and all the best.

Thank you. I did what I could to do justice to the original

Thank you so much Rosa! 🙂

I’m happy you like my cover attempt of this heavenly song. All the best to you.

Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed it. I’m curious. Do you prefer one version over the other after having listened to both?

@@marceldominic Hey Marcel, sorry for the delayed answer I had a lot of work to complete this week. Well, I am not a big fan of the transition part you added around 3.00-3.30. But your percussion play after was really nice, so overrall I would go for the second (original) version.

@@Fingerstyle-Magazine No worries at all. Ah, yeah I absolutely get that. Thank you for your feedback. It is a somewhat weird part and comes in pretty abruptly. I decided to go with my gut feeling and write it this way after all. It fits my personal narrative for the song. However, that is also part of the reason I wrote the alternative Contemplative Version, because some days I just want to listen to “pure” fingerstyle without any fancy stuff and figured some people might feel the same.

@@marceldominic Yes it's a good thing to do to write for yourself and what you would like to hear. Always more enjoyable than let's say trying to fit techniques just for the potential audience ^^. Oh, out of topic but I m writting an article theses days on the relation between fingerstyle artists and musical theory so I m trying to collect data. Would you mind telling me your relation to the musical theory and your musical background ? No pressure, if you don't want to or do not have time it's perfectly fine

@@Fingerstyle-MagazineSorry for the late response. If it’s still of any value to you I’ll just quickly say that I had a year of classical lessons at the age of 11, learning Christmas songs and what not. It was there and later through music as a school subject for two years that I learned some basics of theory. After that I had one year of lessons in electrical guitar focusing more on practice and techniques, but it was here when I first learned of modes. It was only a couple years later (2020) that I started writing my own fingerstyle guitar music using songwriting and playing techniques that I applied from songs and tutorials from Calum Graham, R.D King, Andy McKee, Maneli Jamal, Trevor Gordon Hall and more. These days I don’t think of theory whatsoever, but I have a strong feeling that more knowledge could be beneficial for me in situations where I’m looking for how to make a song wholesome and more interesting.

Thank you - Coming soon!

Thanks a lot Serge, will do!

Thanks man! Yeah, so I made the contemplative version after all 😄

Thanks a lot, Wes. Yeah, I like this version because it is thematically coherent, flows nicely and is fun to play. The original version I wrote, which will be online in a couple of days has some more elements and techniques in it.

🙏🏽 Thanks for tuning in again Alexander

Thank you Seagull! Hope you’re doing well up there in the north.

You can do it! Although might I ask what made you learn right handed guitar when you are a lefty? Thanks, I appreciate it! Glad you enjoyed the song :)

@@marceldominic Honestly, I didn't know about restringing a guitar and changing the bridges to make it left handed. I just got on a website and started trying to learn songs. I just thought that it was weird that the chord patterns were backwards and thought it was just a quirk.

Thanks as always Stuart! I’m going to get back to your last message soon by the way :D Yeah, I really enjoy the simple, soothing melody and bass in this one…

Danke Alexander! Ja, ich habe noch etwas an meinem mixing Workflow gearbeitet und konnte den Klang insgesamt verbessern wie ich finde :)

Thank you for leaving your words on the song. That is so great it is inspired you to pick up the guitar more. Love it when that happens to me and a piece resonates so much I just want to play all day. I’m trying to find a quote on life that went something like this: life is only bearable if we don’t take it seriously. Though I don’t think it truly fits in your circumstance, nonetheless I was thinking about it when reading your comment. Maybe our parents and the like left this information out on purpose or they forgot about these times, or have never experienced anything like it. Personally, I struggle with taking everything too seriously and it is…debilitating. I like to think of life in phases / chapters. It is always easy to say to someone, because they don’t know the whole story, but try to enjoy the chapter you find yourself in now. Dark times can be an unexpected catalyst for great things. 🎵🌳🕯️ And yes, with each passing day this Lowden and me grow closer and closer. What a masterful instrument. Ever since I first saw it, it was like that Harry Potter wand-scene for me 😄

😄 Yeah my maaaan!!!

Two of my favourites right here 🤘🏻

Thank you so much for your words Arianna! Yes, the tabs and the song will become available on bandcamp within the next week or two. Just have to finish up some stuff on my end. I’ll let you know when they’re ready.

Hi Arianna, I finished the tabs and they're available here. Please write me if there is something not working/unclear or if you encounter an error: marceldominic.bandcamp.com/album/ephemeral-tabs

Seagull, so good to hear from you!! I was smiling all the way through your message. I am so happy you enjoyed Ephemeral and gave it such a sincere meditative moment and focus. I also like the parallels you were drawing with your grandson there. How sweet! The little ones get through to our core.

Nice! I’m glad you enjoyed it :)

That’s so awesome, man! Thank you. Happy to hear it resonates with you. Btw haven’t really had the chance and I have a long day ahead of me again, but I’ll get back to your message as soon as possible!

@@marceldominic No worries brotha, looking forward to the response! I’ve probably played this song 100x now btw. Way too good. Cheers 🍻

Happy you enjoy the song that much! Actually I have tabs including all 3 songs of this EP over on bandcamp: marceldominic.bandcamp.com/album/waiting-for-something-tabs

Awesome, thanks dude!

That’s awesome to hear, man! Yeah, I really enjoy the melody of Liminal Spaces as well. It’s interesting because I would locate these two songs somewhere in the same mental space if that makes sense.

@@marceldominic 100 percent man, I think that’s why I gravitate so much towards the two songs, they both have “that vibe” and I feel it deeply. Have you put anymore thought into a Mountain Trail tutorial? I know you’re busy guy but man .. I’m absolutely dying to learn it. I have a little break in February from work, and would love to get it down over that time. It literally goes on repeat at least 10x a day aha … and I can only imagine being able to play it 😌

@@sc7244Absolutely! Pretty different tunings but both are about that up and down in life and carry a certain atmosphere and that shows musically, I feel. Sure did! Dude, you’re a heavy inspiration for me to making this tutorial a reality. You’re not going to believe me, but when I finished writing it last year I wanted this song to get the first tutorial 😄 Am preparing the tutorial at the moment. It is going to happen and February is realistic, but that’s all I can say. ✊🏽

@@marceldominic Dude, reading this comment made by day!!! It’s like a second Christmas 😤 Well it’s very much appreciated you taking the time and making the lesson, it means a lot. I’ve been showing my other buddies the song as well and we all agreed that learning it is an absolute must aha .. it’s just too good 🤘🏻 Well in the meantime if you’re looking for payment or whatever don’t hesitate to ask. Take care, and hopefully talk real soon, can’t wait. Cheers man

@@marceldominic Hey dude hope all is well :) What model of guitar are you playing, is that a lowden? Cheers

Very nice of you to say that. I know that I have a lot to learn and definitely need more practice in general, but all in all I’m happy I am able to create a cover every once in a while and see that people are enjoying it. So thank you for stopping by!

Thank you for taking the time and sharing this with me. I’m happy my version of this masterpiece could resonate with you for a moment.

Thanks a lot for your nice words, Rachelle!

Hey there, thanks for your comment I couldn’t quite translate it properly, but I hope you enjoyed my video :)
