KenW Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I promise I will try to post more often here. I wanted to share something with you. I am a middle aged man that plays classical guitar and is a fairly recent convert. For the last 2 years, I have been working on arrangements of sacred melodies. This last Christmas, my wife bought for me a killer pair of recording mics. A few weeks ago, I was given access to a century old stone parish with awesome natural reverb, so I took my mics in there and recorded a bunch of stuff. i have an albums worth of material like this that I am editing and mixing down now.

Winchester Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I think it would ruin the guitar. Unless you were very small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dUSt Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Sounds awesome! I wish I could play the guitar but I have never tried to learn because I am terrible at Guitar Hero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenW Posted September 17, 2013 Author Share Posted September 17, 2013 I think it would ruin the guitar. Unless you were very small. My wife has often said that I have no sense of humor, so I am probably missing something: What is "it" that would ruin the guitar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gabriela Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Oh, I totally thought this was going to be about one of those "musically accompanied" Adoration hours. I was once in a parish in Virginia at Adoration, and out of the blue, some dude started playing the guitar and singing—and everyone seemed to think that was normal.

The Bus Station Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Hi KenW, I like your arrangement of Adoration, thank you for sharing it here. The chord progression of the second verse is especially lovely. You clearly have some natural feel for the music. I would certainly be interested to hear more of your recordings.

I was once in a parish in Virginia at Adoration, and out of the blue, some dude started playing the guitar and singing—and everyone seemed to think that was normal. [SHUDDER] One of my pastors is strongly urging me to play hours of Adoration. Kind of a microcosm of what Matt Maher did at WYD. I'm all for it, but I would personally want to keep it quiet, laid back and instrumental. If there was any indication that I was disrupting rather than enhancing, it'd be a no go.

Have not spent enough time here to know your posting style, but I must ask again, and forgive my naivete: What is "it" that would ruin the guitar?
