      Thomas also, it reminds me somewhat of the old Irish tunes, what were your influences?

      Ashley (Ash) Lucero Yes, it's true! Recently I listened to guitarists like Tony McManus (https://www.tonymcmanus.com) during a trip Scotland. I come from a classical background - but Tony obviously has influence on this piece of music. Thanks!

      Ashley (Ash) Lucero Great, thanks for the materials!

      I appreciate you not skimping on terminology, it'll help us a lot to talk about what we're doing. And make sure we all use the same terms.

      The exercises all look cool too!

      Exciting stuff!😀

      Eric It is very bright! It is a very line that can give you tons of ideas to start building from it. I like it a lot!!!

      Eric I admire your ability to examine your process and articulate what is or isn't happening, it's a great trait for a creator! I don't find this idea "predictable" honestly, I think it's very intriguing and in need for some more development and slightly less exact repetition. I would hold onto this idea if I were you!

      Eric I love the quirky hook. It's unusual in a good way.

    I know the etude imitation is done now, but I'd just like to post another one I did. It somewhat imitates Sor's Op 60 No 16 (which I love).
