Meditative Guitar

[@BruceBubb]

Hi Sheldon, just wanted to reach out and say that your sound is absolutely beautiful. No way around it, you sound like you're playing the universe. Could you let me know what sort of guitar that you're playing is, maker and where do you get one! That bass string adds another dimension to the sound. Also, are you open tuning or standard tuning. Which of course leads to what note is that bass string? Cheers Bruce 😊

[@ecosticks]

Hey Bruce, Thank you I really appreciate thais wonderful comment!, This is a bearsell 7 string- this particular video is in standard tuning with a low B- I use other tunings in other videos.

Hi Sheldon, I am in mid-30s and started to think more deeply about life. Coincidentally I found your music at the same time! Contemplating life and your music goes really well. Thanks for creating and sharing!!

[@ecosticks]

thank you. Yes that can happen in your thirties- it certainly did for me- I think my playing began to change for that reason. I’m glad if my music is helpful

[@gracebeckwith1256]

Hi Sheldon. My husband and I love your music. Your music is the essence of what lies deep in your heart. The purple is nice. Thank you for being there. 🙏💜

[@ecosticks]

Thank you Grace, I appreciate that

Hi Sheldon. I just picked up a guitar a month ago. Playing guitar became the reason for me to keep going. And you’re my biggest inspiration to play guitar.

[@ecosticks]

wow that blows me away! Thank you-my biggest piece of advice is 'keep going!' None of this was easy for me, perhaps my only talent was tenacity. Keep going with life, and keep going with music-it will pay you back.

[@nancysmith3400]

Beautiful music……….. you look great in the violet light. Nature and green plants would go well also 💜🌴

[@ecosticks]

Thanks Yes I really want to do some videos in nature, my last attemps didn't come out-it's a bit cold now!

[@rachelcrowe7444]

I truly enjoy listening to your talent! Thank you for sharing ✨😊

[@ecosticks]

thank you! I appreciate that Rachel

The one starts from 6:15 is stuck in my head and takes me to the space I can’t describe

[@ecosticks]

Thank you, I have searched that moment and will give some thought to the harmonies.

[@Wearehealingbeings]

Your playing has been such a great find! Blessings. You bring so much peace to my space and heart. 🙏🏼

[@ecosticks]

That is wonderful to hear thank you

[@dariaandura]

It’s incredible to go to sleep in such a mood!..😁👌🏼

[@ecosticks]

that’s great to hear. Funnily I couldn’t sleep last night after recording, editing posting etc! Maybe I should have listened to it!

[@dariaandura]

@@ecosticks 👍🏻😁

[@deniseh6540]

the purple is a nice change of pace. I still prefer the natural colors. II enjoy so much the video and my cat loves to watch your music video with me

[@ecosticks]

It's good to keep the felines happy! Normal colours will be resumed next week!

[@Trasnemi]

Your ambient meditative compositions / improvisations really work for me. Air becomes crispier, tight space around me opens and suddenly the weight of existence isn't that much of a burden. I can carry on for a while.

[@ecosticks]

thank you I'm glad they help, I hope things get easier for you-best wishes

[@DipeTwo2]

Very Beautiful, Thank you so much for sharing. Wishing you a wonderful day.

[@ecosticks]

Thank you George, I hope you have a wonderful day too

[@umbomb]

Guitar alone sounds great to me. I'd love a drier version as well. Thanks for all you do!

[@ecosticks]

funny- I agree, too much reverb! Maybe one more version…

[@umbomb]

@@ecosticks That would be really interesting; I'd look forward to hearing it. I mean, the sound in this video is beautiful exactly as it is. I'd just be curious to experience this piece as if I were in the room, eight feet away.

[@andreasturmbauer9676]

[@ecosticks]

[@ecosticks]

I’m pleased. thanks Glen

[@ONEstunnas]

I just decided to relearn to play guitar to soothe my soul and introduce my toddler to live music. I wish you’d post your music because I want to learn to play like you!!!

[@ecosticks]

hey Onestunnas I am putting various lessons on my patreon page relating to playing in this style- maybe that can help, also you can request particular area’s for me to cover- even tab sections (much of my stuff is part improvised)

[@soundsoftheearth1]

Amazing ❤ thank you 🙏

[@ecosticks]

Good to see you back, thank you!

[@lancedmello]

It's 6:30 am in Goa, Listening to Sheldon's finger-picking.

[@светланажуравлева-д3т]

This is great,you set an example of a true master,I can only dream of playing the guitar like this and master it. How do you do it? Does it come out of your head? What inspires you?

[@ecosticks]

Thank you. I started off as a classical player but later spent many hours improvising and exploring other types of music. I made a video (on this channel) 'how I compose' which talks about this a bit. I also put quite a lot on my patreon page if you are interested. I am mostly inspired by music not played on the guitar.

[@stepanpolchaninov7766]

Realy like it) Thanks

[@ecosticks]

Thank you Stepan

[@IvanArturo-m5f]

grac1as!

[@ecosticks]

@@IvanArturo-m5f Thank you

[@JDavis-t5n]

Hey what kind of guitar is that? And where did you get it from? It looks like what they use in gypsy jazz

[@ecosticks]

that’s a Beardsell 7 string acoustic- it looks like a gypsy guitar but is actually nothing like one- a made a video talking about it . ‘my guitars’

[@JDavis-t5n]

@@ecosticks thank you!
