In response to "On Guitar Music"

Like our blogger, I also play acoustic guitar regularly. So I also feel these emotions. A guitar's melody tries to make a connection with our hearts, if you are a true guitar lover.

I also use a six-string acoustic guitar. Once I begin playing with it, I enter into another colourful heaven. It is a different feeling. The blogger also realises that.

It is an excellent blog post.

Continue with your lovely creation.

Thank you for the input dogpack saving 4premium

. Yes, surely, I've also enjoyed Dixieland's banjo music. Banjo artists can really strum when they are in the mood.

I agree with you but I go far there because although I stray from the guitar, I return with some knowledge worth adding. There is the six string banjo which is used for Dixieland and also used by guitar players.

In response to "What About March?"

It is a very inspiring blog post. A slow beginning doesn't mean it will remain less hopeful. We may improve our performance at any moment. So, possibility always remains alive. Therefore, we ought to remain hopeful until the end point appears.

This month is full of coincidences in the blogger's life. He and his father were born on the first day of March. His best friend, cousin, took birth on the 15th day of March.

The weather of this month generally remains favourable. The snow melts quickly through bright sunshine. So, he hopes for a prosperous month.

Despite a slow beginning, the month will be hopeful. He hopes so; that creates positive thinking in our the, too.

In response to "On Daylight Savings Time"

It is such a crucial matter. We often see various opinions about this particular matter.

I read your blog post carefully. I Iike it too much because you always remain logical and realistic.

You always establish your point through examples from real-life experiences and stick to the fact rigidly. You never say anything, which you can't establish.

So, it is an ideal blog post, especially for the newbie readers. It teaches how to build a solid blog post step by step.

I'm very much impressed by your performance.

Here in the desert, daylight savings gets more complicated because of the heat.

I for one like it being lighter longer! I like those evening light hours. I would like it to stay like this! Just my opinion.

Thank you Ichabod Crane

! And yes, I agree. Although it did help those who work outdoors then, it is not of any help for the majority of people.

On Guitar Music

Prompt:
“The guitar is a miniature orchestra in itself,” said Ludwig van Beethoven
Do you like guitar music? Why?

-----------

Do I like guitar music? Well, who doesn't! Imagine the sound of guitars or even that of a single guitar.

To me, guitars or rather good guitarists are magical, with their intricate finger picking and soft passages and their sudden energetic solos. In the same vein, music made for guitars is deeply personal. What is deeply personal finds itself inside many listeners hearts, adjusting its notes and timbre to the feelings or each person with melodies that range from soothing to delicate to powerful and electrifying.

I can understand why my favorite composer Beethoven would say that the guitar is a miniature orchestra, and aptly so. Guitar music is versatile. From Classical to Flamenco to the soulful Blues, a guitar speaks to me in many languages with nostalgia and peace. Surely, the electric guitar also can ignite much energy and strong passions.

Then, with me, Flamenco and Classics are the first choices on a long line. To tell the truth, rather than an electric guitar, I prefer the simple, or rather not-so-simple, original instrument, the acoustic guitar. I remember, decades ago, falling in love with the guitar music when I first listened to Albeniz's Asturias and Francisco Tarrega's Recuerdos de la Alhambra. Soon after that Granados's 12 Spanish Dances took my breath away.

And surely, who can forget the master, Andres Segovia, especially when he played Bach on his famous guitar, his fiery strumming with his each note capturing the essence of longing, love, joy, or sorrow? Each note is the keyword here, because with a guitar you may really hear each note, connecting people to one another universally, through cultures, genres, and generations.

So, just six strings on one acoustic guitar and it can remake me by transporting me to many different worlds, telling me stories without words, stirring feelings of nostalgia and peace in me. Now, what could be better than that!
