nrpstreetballa10th July 2007woohoo!!!! great lesson, will you do more acoustic lessons?
- Muris Varajic10th July 2007
Looks like you really like it,appreciate it!
GuitarDude: It's bad to split electric a lot from acoustic,guitar is guitar after all.
nrpstreetballa: I'll do my best and make more lessons like this,maybe in some different styles but still on acoustic - stratman3310th July 2007
wow, nice lesson!
ace_frehely10th July 2007cool!
Ben Howell10th July 2007Lovely stuff Muris-Very musical!
Well done!
-Ben- nrpstreetballa10th July 2007
ohhh different styles on acoustic sounds amazing!!! any chance of some flamenco or classical??
- Muris Varajic10th July 2007
Yeah,why not:)
Tho it's hard to do it without nails but will try something with the pick.
Like DiMeola on Friday Night In SF. 
shredmandan11th July 2007Good Lesson
David OToole11th July 2007That was a neat piece Muris - inspired me to dust off the ol' acoustic - thanks
.
Speaking of Mr. Di Meola I was watching a band on YouTube last week playing one of his tunes from the 'Casino' album and it was brilliant - perfect take from the band.
Their name doesn't seem to be listed - a Greek band they are. Love that album do you know it? Anyway if you do, you might like to have a listen here and see what you think ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zvey0zt5PM
Cheerz D- Muris Varajic11th July 2007
Hell yeah David,guys are cool!!
Band is called Illusion I think and I wish video was better..great stuff,thanks for sharing!
Thanks for lesson comment tho 
Aaron11th July 2007just an unbeleivable sound!!!! sickness!!!
Dashooter11th July 2007great lesson. This site has really improved by timing. I hate using a metrome, but I still want to improve my timing. So what I do is I learn all the solos on this site and use the backing tracks to improve my timing. I don't really have anybody to play with so this works out great!
- Muris Varajic11th July 2007
Thanks guys!
Dashooter:that's right thing to do,work out over backing tracks to improve your timing.
Latter on,you are not going to have problems joining the band or som.
But still try some stuff with metronome,just to get used to it.
Have fun! - Dashooter12th July 2007
oh, and one thing, that weird lick after the harmonics is not easy.
- mygeetar13th July 2007
my mom wont let me get an electric for a year so i appreciate this acoustic lesson.
thank you so much!!!! - Muris Varajic13th July 2007
Thank mygeetar,have a nice time with it until you get you electric!
Dash,you're probably thinking of two chords,
C maj 7/9 and A min 7/9.
Yes,those grips might me tricky for the first time but they are great stuff for your left hand,stretching and nice chords to play as well.
It will increase your stamina too.
Don't give up - Dashooter16th July 2007
I hate to give up, but are there easier chord subs for those two chords?
- Muris Varajic16th July 2007
Of course
You can play regular C major and A minor..
I putted those just to make lesson more funny
- Dashooter17th July 2007
coo, thanks muris
- Lebovski20th July 2007
sounds great! Is it your composition?
- Muris Varajic20th July 2007
You can call it as a composition of course,but I made this piece for this lesson.
Maybe I'll use for some material in future,who knows.
And thanks,glad you like it!!! 
Alex Lewis30th July 2007Great lesson however for the newbies out there a brief explanation of natural harmonics and the use of the P.I.M.A picking technique would be useful.
Keep up the good work hope there is more to come!!

Guernseyman14th August 2007Hi Muris, I have been practicing this lesson which to be honest is a bit of a stretch for me but..... I am making progress.
Where can I get more of this sort of music?
Do you have any more plans to put some more lessons of this sort on GMC?
Oh an finally... What make and modal of guitar are you using in the lesson clips. It sounds great and looks good too. Does it have internal pick ups?
Lots of questions... apologies if it fels like a grilling.
Guernseyman- Muris Varajic14th August 2007
No problem at all,glad you like it!!
The guitar in this lesson is Epiphone Chet Atkins model and it has pickup inside the bridge.
About music of this sort...try Tony Emmanuel(tho he's a more complex player) or Chet Atkins in a first place.
And yeah,I'll do my best to make more of these lessons in a future.
Cheers!! 
PlayAllDay30th September 2007Muris this is a gorgeous song, I can play it and I love it. I practise speed riffs - then I play this - then I practise speed riffs some more - then I play this again
Really nice backing too, very relaxing. Your technique is totally cool, please write some more fingerpicking tunes for us!!- Muris Varajic30th September 2007
Glad you have nice time with this one,thanks!!
You have good practice routine,combining slow and speed stuff.
Will do more of these,no worries. 
pjrake13th October 2007i signed up primarily to learn this lick (although i'm finding the whole website to be awesome!). spent the whole day practicing and can't wait until i can play the whole thing with the backing tracks!

Acoustic Stuff
I've seen many members here at GMC asking for lesson on acoustic guitar,so here is one,with nylon strings:)
It's in key of G major,contains finger-picking,strumming,arpeggios,natural harmonics etc.
This is NOT hard stuff to play,but has nice sound and cool licks that you can play on acoustic.
Hope you'll like it,let's go!:)
