Steemit Open Mic Week 50: Original improvisation by Oliver Waterman

in #openmic7 years ago

Hi everyone, This week I didn't have much time so I banged out an improv straight into my phone, no fancy mic or compression. It doesn't seem to sound too bad.

Anyway, this is the first Improv I've done for the Open Mic, I've done a few others for steemit in other capacities, and have performed solo improvs live at various shows for years now. I think I'll be doing this a bit more often for the Open Mic since my classes have started up again, and it takes far less time and energy to make one of these.

Thanks for Watching!

👏👏👏👏 That is lovely Oliver. TBH, I love your playing more with each performance. 😊 You never disappoint.

You play style is really poetic. It's a nice journey listening to your mystical vibe... Classical guitar hero! :D

Thanks! HAHA, yeah why isn't there any classical guitar in that game?

Much classical pieces are way too long and hard. It would result in broken finger or tendinitis. :D

Like with the Paganini Caprice Number 24.

haha, yeah that would be a painful GH tune!

Well, I wouldn’t quite call it “banging” out a tune – that’s what I do. (ha-ha) This improvisation was simply exquisite, Oliver!

haha! Thanks man! I appreciate it.

Sounds great man!

I like to see how you feel deeply the music, it's beautiful.

nice tune! well played. but i am dissapointed: nothing jumped out of this mysterious open box next to you!

Very pleasant!

I have to be honest that I don't believe I have ever heard anyone else playing classical guitar in a classical mode while improvising - so you are definitely the best that I have ever seen! You pull off some impressive noodling runs here and there but at times this coalesces into something haunting and beautiful - I like the themes you are exploring. Really terrific and I for one certainly look forward to more of your improvisations!

Holy cow please teach me your guitar playing goodness. IT'S amazing. I'm currently taking lessons and have picked up a lot, but nothing like this. SO GOOD.

Beautiful improvisation!
