A Good Friend
This week's wonderful theme A Good Friend was chosen by @jesus-son and what a good friend he is for giving us a theme that leaves a lot of room for exploring matching songs, thank you! 🙏😉
My choice fell on a song that has been covered here many times before; I wanted to learn it on the piano, so when the theme came up I just thought.. YAY!
My guitar was an afterthought, but it occurred to me that should throw it in as well..
Count On Me
Bruno Mars has had a string of great songs that I have only started to discover; most of them have a light hearted touch to them and "Count On Me" is no exception!
I love the innocent lyrics of this song; I see them as mainly aimed at a very good friend, but if a partner is also a very good friend than that is the most wonderful thing in the world!
I shoulder to cry on whenever you need it, someone singing you to sleep (maybe playing guitar?), wow, what a thought!
We all need kind people who support and encourage us, so let's try and do just that!
My Video
I am getting more adventurous with my videos and for this week I have added soft edges to my guitar part. For anybody interested: I use Kdenlive for the video and Audacity for the audio part.
Pretty happy how it's coming along and I hope, you like it too! 😀
Finally
You most likely know them, but, hey, I do it every week, so here we go:

This is so so beautiful.
You kept it so soft and mesmerizing.
I love this song so well and your presentation really got me too.
Counting on you for more beautiful performance in subsequent weeks

What a beautiful presentation, my friend, it is always a pleasure to see your presentation. I loved it very much, many congratulations.
Thank you so much, Yulimar!!
Makes me really happy, that you like it!! 😃
The video was so nice and the funniest part of it is that i watched it more than once...The playing and top notch..Those application you mentioned in your post, audacity and kdenlive, are they for mobile also
Thank you, that's great!
I don't think so; I don't think that would work very well, it's better having more space to move things around, but I don't know really.
There might be versions for mobiles.. check out those links I put there, you might be lucky.. 😀
I will surely check it out now 😊😊😊
👍
It is just so beautiful listening to you. I thought you were only the guitar God but here i see you celebrating this nice sing with the piano and guess what, I loved it to the end.
You ate very talented Anke. God bless you for gracing this theme with such good work.

Oooh, cold nights? Winter is coming?
I have a feeling, that "cold" means something vaguely different to my perception.. 😄
Thank you so much for always supporting me! You are amazing!

Wow you're so multi-talented...how many instruments do you play?. Amazing performance and so creative., I kinda loved the tempo when you entered the second verse. This was lovely to hear 🙉😌
Thanks, Sammy!
I believe you have seen me play three types so far.. lol
Makes me really happy that you like this! 😍
Yes three instruments...oh wow is there more 😲...And Yes I really liked it, keep being 😍

I like the combination of piano and guitar. Sounds very beautiful and also cool. I really like the results of your presentation Mam. That's so cool.
Thank you so much! 🙏
I think it's the first time I've added both together..
Glad you like it, that's awesome! 😃
Cool video. I will have to get some tips on editing from you. It could be a good topic for a post.
!PIZZA
Yes, it would make for a good post... hmm..
Which community though? I haven't got the luxury to not having to care about that.. yet.. Any thoughts? 🤔
Maybe the Music Production one. You can set it to appear on your feed too.
I may have found a fix for my audio sync issue. I can try doing some video stuff over the long weekend.
Good idea. I've got the week off, so even more time...
