Imagine walking into a quiet guitar shop for a browse and hearing someone in the corner huddled over a guitar, playing this. Wow, I’d simply have to go over and watch. 👌

[@casperhejlesen]

Haha! Thanks Paul!

[@paulgerards6494]

Prachtig mooi man, maakt iets los en wordt welhaast emotioneel! Dank je!

[@ianbrown3304]

Such co-ordination of man, guitar and jumper.

Normally true, but that there there is a rugby shirt. They are more of a long sleeve T

@@casperhejlesen lots of little pieces of all my favorites in here. Monk, Lage, Frisell, Metheny. Thanks for keeping me motivated to keep listening and keep playing!

[@samuelhornmusik]

Oh wow, thank you so much!! I was so down thinking about the state of music, Spotify exploitation, hardships, and I just watched Rick Beato tear apart the latest top 10 on Spotify. Enough to make you cry. And then this comes along, your beautiful music which really uplifted me. I love this piece, the composition, the rhythms, the dynamics, and your tone is so beautiful, that rounded thickness yet all the clarity intact! Just wonderful. Congrats!!! ❤

[@casperhejlesen]

[@CatrinaDaimonLee]

[@NestedRealities]

There's some Pat Metheny flavor in your playing and chord voicing. Are you mixing the acoustic room sound of the guitar with the amplified sound?

[@casperhejlesen]

Thank you! I don’t really listen to Pat anymore, but I guess he influenced a lot of my own heros!
Yes, I placed two MXL CR89 right in front of the guitar to catch the acoustic sound!

[@maisnon1329]

how did you engage the drone under the solo?

[@casperhejlesen]

It’s a Gamechanger Audio Plus Pedal. It works like a freeze :)

[@jeremyking9185]

What are you using to make the one chord continue to ring out so long?

[@casperhejlesen]

It’s the Gamechanger Audio Plus Pedal. Works like a freeze!
