I posted the bare skeleton of this song in my first Late Night Jam...and here's what it sounds like now. A piece to follow Daydreams, if you will ^^.
It took me a while to come up with a fitting title for this piece...but I think First Flight really sums up the feeling of the song.
There's one major mistake toward the end...but, if anything, it proves that this is a live recording, and that there isn't any studio magic fixing the mistakes xD.
Also, there's actually NO reverb on this track. I love my old Ibanez xD...

I keep my Ibanez in approximately open Eb. I say "approximately" because I tune it once every month or so...and then just tune by ear until I pull it out to jam when my brother brings his bass and I have to tune it properly xP. There are about 5 acoustic guitars in our house all-together...so I keep my old, beat up Ibanez in this crazy tuning.
Daydreams and Our World were both played on this guitar as well, if you want to hear a few other examples of the open Eb.
It's mostly taps, yes ^^;;. Took me a little while to get used to playing this way, but it just sounds so pretty ^^.
Also, checked out Ocean...and it's a VERY similar playing style. Only difference is that I play with my left hand over the neck instead of under for most of the two-hand taps. Main difference is that Ocean is WAY cooler than my song xD.

*Smiles* I'm glad you liked it <3.
And thank you. You're one of the most dedicated people who watch me. I can find one of your comments on almost every song...and I really appreciate that <3. I realized that I've never gave you a proper thanks for that.
So thank you ^^.

You'd be surprised...just try out an open tuning, and play around a bit. Keep an open mind, and don't focus on the notes themselves so much as what sounds good ^^.
Just got to try different playing styles...learning to do taps so that you can use your other hand to play another note at the same time. Granted, that took me a while...doing a completely different melody or pattern with each hand threw me off until I sat down and practiced like crazy xP. Or playing over-hand so that you can hammer a full bar of notes instead of just one at a time ^^.

I'm glad you enjoyed it ^^.
Every once in a while I sit down with that old Ibanez and write something pretty...I'm not sure when I'll get around to writing another piece like this.
In the meantime, you might also like Daydreams, which is a slightly older composition of mine. Written on the same guitar, in the same style.

*Smiles* Thanks <3. It's been a lot of trial and error writing music in this style, and it's nice to know that the music is appreciated.
I have a few more things in the works, but they're scribbles...not really sure how far they'll go, and most of them don't have any lyrics. I might post a few when I get a few quiet hours to record ^^.
