BEAUTIFUL!!!!
- Cosmin Lupu18th August 2012Beautiful lesson! How did you get such a good acoustic sound?
Thank you Alex, well, I haven't done anything else other than plug in the guitar into the soundboard and the DAW, then add a reverb from the DAW. Nothing else, so I guess it's the guitar - it's for sale out of what my friend that borrowed it to me has let me know

St Anger2nd August 2012There is a Bard at the Fantasy Tavern, and the fairies danse for him. There is a Bard at the Fantasy Tavern and the trees know his name
thefireball2nd August 2012I really liked this! Hey, even my grandpa liked it!
That was very nice! Great job, Coz. Maybe one day when I have a good acoustic I can try this out.- Cosmin Lupu2nd August 2012
@Dieter - yes, they are natural harmonics or 'flageolet' and they are played by simply placing your finger over a fret, and picking that note. You need to explore the neck to find them all. Players such as Mattias IA Eklundh have developed harmonics use to a great extent!
Mudbone2nd August 2012That was really nice
Yash2nd August 2012Mind blowing Cosmin.
You leave me speechless.- Cosmin Lupu2nd August 2012
Thank you gentlemen! I had an incredible spiritual revelation while working on this one - there are these songs which have a deep connection to the past and ancestral feeling to them! I feel like I managed to capture this thing in here

Good morrow!
One day, I woke up after a strange dream - a bunch of fairies dancing to a strange beautiful music on a little hill. I decided to try and come up with a melody which would be good enough to evoke what I have dreamed - this is how the 'Fairy's Dance' was born.
In Celtic inspired acoustic playing, pulse and melody are the most important, so this is what I focused on, in this lesson. As a listening recommendation - check out Blackmore's Night, Faun, No'mads, to name just a few of the bands which excel in this musical style.
