"The Books We Read" w 3 String Cigar Box Guitar & ghostly figures walking by...

https://bemuzic.bandcamp.com/

“The Books We Read” on St Ives bridge, with 3 string Cigar Box Guitar.

I was playing with the delay effect in Power Director and wishing I could remain clear and have the delay just on the people walking by. Then I realised that with this version I can use a mask with the effect, so I could block off the area with me in :-)
I love that the people are a blur, and everything only becomes clear when they stay still…a good reminder to just STOP every now and again!
The blurred figures look like ghostly figures crossing this medieval bridge...

This Song Is from the album Pass It On: https://bemuzic.bandcamp.com/album/pass-it-on

I really like your song Belinda, thoughtful and reflective! The picking pattern really worked well with it. Your video effects were well thought out and very effective. Nice touch with the lyrics, and the blurring of those walking by just plain worked! Your best video yet!!!

I do...but fear that could go on infinitely, lol?!

You DO need a back up for the back up.

thanks t-belly, and yes it was a pretty good day tip wise :-)

thanks a lot John. I made this CBG as a back up to the one I was using all the time, in case it got damaged or stolen. It ended up better than the original...now I feel like I need a back up for the back up!!

Really nice tune, fantastic video!

I do hope you ended up with a few ghostly quid in your tin cup! ;)

Gorgeous!   To the eyes and ears.  Lovely.  And as a CBG maker, I can tell you that when you capo a cbg and it still intonates well and sounds great - that's a sign of a very good builder.
