Knowing your way around the fretboard allows for spontaneous creation of music from the heart.

SPANISH GUITAR IMPROVISATION

I pulled out a couple Rode NT5 mics and pointed them at my 1994 Dauphin classical guitar (which appropriately was made in Spain) one night around 10:30 and improvised over the Andalusian cadence (Am - G - F - E7). After my first take, I somehow muted my computer's speakers and couldn't figure out how to unmute them. Being the great recording engineer that I am [sarcasm] I just figured that 1st take would be the final take.
