One Handed Guitar _ A Relaxed Improv (Unedited Acoustic Guitar Playing)

A simple loop was rolling in the background and it was the perfect time to improvise a little over the top of it. Nothing crazy going on in this, just some light relaxed improvised melodic soloing. Take these 8 minutes & 12 seconds to close your eyes and relax into the moment.
As always, Thanks & All the best!

So chill, so relaxing. I'm cleaning and listening to this.

[@OneHandedGuitar]

YESSS! That is awesome to hear! Before posting, I was thinking & hoping that it would be nice relaxing background music for everyday things such as cleaning!
Thanks for checking it out and for writing in! I hope it makes the cleaning more enjoyable!
All the best!

Hi Dirk. Very nice….I really appreciate the phrasing on your lead work. What gauge strings do you use?

[@OneHandedGuitar]

Hey Jon, thanks so much, I greatly appreciate you taking a listen and for the kind words!
I play with extra light strings these are 9 / 42’s, I believe. I’m playing in E standard here but lately have been dropping to D standard to get them even looser. This helps with the bends. All the best!

[@ryanart6242]

Nice! It was very relaxing. I loved all the ideas you explored. Did you make the loop as well?

[@OneHandedGuitar]

Hey there, thanks so much for checking out the video and your kind words! Yup, the loop was put together just prior to this little improvised segment.
Here's another video of a full loop if you're interested in seeing the construction from the ground up.

Also here's a quick short of my looping process:
