"I Want You (She's So Heavy)" has such a unique sound to it and it's wonderful to hear it on a lute, especially with the thunderstorm sounds in place of the distortion! What a combo

Good evening Daniel,
Well that is a turn up for the books! I would have never thought to have teamed this tune up with a Lute but that is a mark of your genius!
Sounds like the weather has set in too.
Not sure about any monkey business going on though!
A great cover of a great number so thanks for posting this.
It's my Birthday next Sunday so I am sure that both our lads will turn up with their families for a small celebration. Not a "special" number birthday (I will be 68) but I guess any birthday is special in many respects.
Keep Safe and Keep Playing
Clive

[@danbluedeer]

Thanks Clive!
Glad you like it...I was a bit unsure of using lutes with a bit of percussion to fill it out.
- at least it was fun to do and didn't take as long as a lot of projects.
Happy Birthday in advance - you're right about feeling gratitude as the birthdays increase.
It's better to be over the hill than under the hill.

[@user-bh5sx1pc4c]

where is the heavenly music?????
There haven't been any amazing releases for a long time!!!
I SUFFER !!!!

[@danbluedeer]

Sorry! I have a disorder in my right hand (Raynaud's disease) that affects the fingernails.
At this point I'm playing with no nails so I have to wait a few more months before recording.
I have been working on some new pieces for guitars and lutes. Thanks for noticing my absence-
There will be more before too long.

Fantastic performance! Would be possible for you to make a lute cover of the music "The Power" from the game Baldur's Gate 3?

[@danbluedeer]

Thanks! I'll take a look

[@user-bh5sx1pc4c]

How is your health and well-being???
I hope the situation with your divine nails is improving!!!!
I'm really looking forward to your new masterpieces!!!!
Take care of yourself !!!!

[@danbluedeer]

thanks for the comment

If i wanted to learn the lute where do you recommend one starts? It seems impossible to find a tutor!

[@danbluedeer]

if you don't have a lute and do have a guitar I would suggest learning the basics on guitar (with a small tuning adjustment)
