Gary Hayden Ambient Guitar From 'Pieces 1990 2001' CD

This is my oldest 'commercially available' track, from my CD 'PIECES 1990-2001'.
I'm not actually sure exactly when this was recorded, but almost certainly was between 1989 and the very early 1990's.
Not originally intended to be part of an album this was simply a live improvisation done when I was feeling 'inspired', using only an acoustic guitar, volume pedal, and a then-new 'sound on sound' device.
It was recorded directly to cassette tape, so that alone should give one an indication of how old it is.
After all these years I can still play this and enjoy it solely as a listener. So I thought i'd start off a new year with a very old piece....

Your talent shined from the very beginning Gary. This is calming and also curious at times. It kind of takes you on a journey in a relaxing way.
I wish you the very best with everything all year long. Thank you for sharing another year in the VC and about. Your continued friendship is cherished~

Happy new year, sir! Hey...I remember this. Lovely stuff. 🙂

Thanks so much buddy. Yeah I wish I had recorded this on something besides cassette so I could remaster the sometimes 'boomy' bass-end, but it is what it is. Thanks again for tuning in and Happy New Year to you and 'Da Boyz!

Happy New Year Gary! This is fantastic!

[@cosmicpickle6562]

Oh thanks so much buddy-you're really too kind. This was just a live 'one off' where I happened to have a cassette running, though I was really happy with how it turned out.
I hope you'll have a wonderful and healthy 2022 and stay creative yourself my friend!

Once again a very beautiful ambient and healing aural and mind-food soundscape Gary. Well executed on all instruments and effectively calming. Works such as this, combined with the length of the piece, invite me back for many listens, while never getting old. Interestingly, the tape hiss adds a soft, subtle breath enhancement to the overall effectiveness as if an outdoor nature breeze and rustling of tree leaves. It has your unique established signature as well! Perfect for low volume listening as background for relaxing or reading. This piece feels like a warm, distant memory. Thank you my friend.

Thanks for the kind words buddy..Hope you're new year will be great!
