Hi! I was asked to make a version of this nostalgic song "Nuotiotunnelma" (Engl. Campfire atmosphere) from 1977 movie called Jäniksen vuosi. At the end I added some challenging finger picking part there to give different feel and climax. The basic theme is fun to play and works nicely on b...

Check out the video and tabs. Maybe there's something that helps you find new perspective in your composing and pla...

Always looking for strange voicings and trying to put them on places where they still sound beautiful and meaningful. Learning new sounds widens the understanding of sonic possibilities.

Hello! I love playing with different chord harmonies. Like in the video: First, a couple of round chords as a scam, then with angular ones for surprise, then one round one to calm things down...[emoji1] Playing with harmonies is one of my favorite things. https://youtube.com/shorts/2zICzvYmdOM?featu...
