how's everyone doing with their quarantine blues riffs ?
best

Noodling, got an idea for this month. I thought, ELP - Fanfare for the common man, I would have to simplify it to my level, too much effort.

Decided on something else. How about you?

At worst I'll be able to submit a badly played bossa nova-ish guitar thing based on Grieg's 'Morning Mood'. Practicing a bit, keeping it simple, but it still sounds very clumsy.

looking forward to hearing this, I do like a bossa, any vocals?

Yeah me too. Hard to pick what classical music to choose.

indeed, theres obvious choices, beethovens 5th, bachs cellos, or the pretty much pop already pachebels...

but id like something a little leas mainstream, but still well known, thats where the difficulty lies!
nice challenge

Maybe classical ottoman music would inspire you all. This one is quite popular.

as a child, hearing stories on tv about the ottomon empire, given the pronunciation, "otter men" i would visualise otter men doing all these deeds.
imagine my disappointment as i grew and discovered such things never existed

Aargh! Despite practising my little piece quite a few times it just sounds clumsy and uptight, which is just about the opposite of what bossa nova is supposed to be: styliush and relaxed. Tried to add vocals, but that only added awkwardness and tentativeness to the mix. So I'll either have to prcatise some more and write a better vocal line, or do some exotic arrangment and mixing to hide the shortcomings. Or just submit the half-baked effort as it is.
