Well this is a completed piece of music, a little piano composition in which I was trying to get a Scottish/Celtic feel. I think I have achieved that not too badly. Written around when I was off work for a period of time due to my mum passing away. This was quite a productive time [...]
This was a simple little idea I was messing around with playing about with a plucking pattern. Simply a D2 shape on the guitar and the note on the second string (starting on D – 3rd fret) going doing a semitone each time the pattern is repeated. Half way through it seems as though I [...]
You know, this thought crossed my mind today. I was giving two of my most lovely friends a lift home after a lovely evening with some other friends, and one of them said that they owe me a lift. And I thought as I drove home, “no they don’t, their friendship is enough” You see [...]
For those of you reading this who know me: You may either think he’s too young to have any idea on love, or that I may be too old because I am half way to fifty and what do 25 year old’s know anyway? Well no one knows Love completely but life is a journey [...]
This post is a continuation on thoughts from my previous post on a You Tube video I saw and had some thoughts on. The Biochemist and Writer Isaac Asimov, the third person in the video to state some views says that there is a: “…System of rational argument following the laws of logic ect which [...]
The video I am about to show you brings a tear to my eye every time I watch it. It’s simply beautiful the sentiment and reason behind the song, and if you look further into it on You Tube you will see further depths to the song and what it means for Steven Curtis Chapman [...]
We all at some point make assumptions about people, whether good or bad. Some based on biases, others on prejudice and maybe some by what we have heard. I intend to look at the question of why assume? Does it benefit anyone in any way? Sometimes we assume that things are getting done and don’t [...]

I think ‘motif’ is probably a very posh way of putting what I have here! It is a simple little hook in the guitar than goes on throughout. I think I may make a song out of it which is the reason for the strumming part, I tried to see what sort of chords would [...]

There’s no use in explaining what I feel inside, There’s no point in proclaiming a Love I cannot hide, How am I to tell you just how I’m feeling, When there are no words to say how much you mean to me And I’ll wait, forever for you And I’ll wait patiently for you There [...]
You are the God who holds the world in Your hands You are the God who holds my life in Your care You are the God who created me to love So I will love the one who gave His only Son You are the God who before the world began Had each day of my [...]
You can have it all if your like All the riches of the earth Happiness that lasts, But for a moment, Even if you are blind you can see, Despair and hurt and shame, A sense of hopelessness Echoes around the earth You may say all hope is gone, But hope waits to find us [...]
Hey everyone, I am working on a new website, migrating all the stuff from my old Blog over to here! If you want to find an article or something I have written before, maybe a poem or something then you can still access my old blog on blogger by clicking here. I hope to get [...]
I came across these videos on the subject of healing and they look at healing purely from what the bible says about it. There are three in total, will post the next tomorrow and the other the day after.
Getting there with it, this is pretty much half the piece once I have it perfect because it comes back at the end so it is just really the middle section I need to learn after this. Still need to work on the position shifts, some notes not quite there as they should be, and [...]
I have just recently started looking at this piece of music. Very short piece, but very technical. It is Latin American style. I am finding myself having to practise over and over again the positional shifts, shapes and fingering otherwise it all goes to pot. On the face of it, it does look simple, however [...]
When the storms of life come closing in When there seems no reason for my soul to sing When it feels like hope is gone I will try to carry on I feel so weak I cannot stand The load I carry is too much But I know You are my strength and I can [...]
