Hello folks! This is a short and very simple guitar piece i recently composed. I wanted to work with simple melodies with contrasting harmonic colors.
I would love to know what you think of it!

It is a very nice piece, and different from your other compositions that I listened to, it shows your versatility.
Though simple, it kept my attention until the end.
You have a very nice sound playing the guitar.
Although developed on a single motivic idea (at least two thirds of it, I thought), I found it quite imaginative/inventive and very idiomatic for the instrument. Monophonic for the most part, the chordal playing is well placed and comes as a natural conclusive result. The chordal passage in the third half, manipulating the same chord pattern, reminded me of certain Villa-Lobos guitar preludes (no.1 & no. 4 in particular) and it was a nice and welcome contrast to the previous two thirds of the piece.
Very interesting and fresh choice of instrument for this kind of piece, as one would have chosen a plastic string instrument rather than a steel one, very nice playing too.
Well done and thanks for sharing!
Do post a score if you have one, please.
I think it's positively good :)
Dani S, thank you so much! I'm really glad you liked it!

Hello, Socrates! Thank you for listening, i'm very glad you liked it.
I didn't understand the last part of your coment. Did you mean it sounds like steel strings? Because i use nylon strings.
I didn't write the piece, but if i find the time to do it i'll post it.
Thank you for your feedback! You are very kind.

Yes, it did strike me as an acoustic guitar, maybe something to do with the recording or microphones etc.
Still, I apologize for the mistake. :-)
No problem! I'll just have to improve my sound on the guitar. It's very helpful knowing how other people perceive it.
