I think it needs a melody. But otherwise, I like it.

Yeah. I was waiting for the singer to start.
Lush sound. Though I would guess it's highly processed. (reverb, EQ'd)

Have to agree. While I don't think music always needs a distinct melody, got to have to a lot more going than that to keep my interest up. But it would make a killer backing track for a song, no question about it.

Alison is so damn good! Yes, similar progression of chords. Sometimes I get caught up in technique envy when listening to guitar pieces and tend to ignore the lack of melody.

Is he lip syncing that? There is a lot of production going on.

Pretty sure the audio is prerecorded. Here he is live:
This is my friend from Kobe, Japan... Nori Ise, doing a Kotaro Oshio arrangement. He's a huge fan of Kotaru, who seems to hold a Tommy Emmanuel-esque place in Japanese acoustic guitardom. This is the Martin that Nori graciously lent me when I was there last year.
My, how they love reverb in Japan.

It's very good/enviable for sure. I love it as a foundation. It gets a little repetitive after a while. That's where melody and/or lyric can move a piece like this along; rise and fall; bring to a conclusion. |

Here's Andrea Bocelli making women get all dreamy and spongy in Las Vegas... Here's a translation of the lyrics... the singer and a few of his buddies getting drunk on a fishing trip and missing some woman... probably 'cuz she cleaned the fish... who knows: Songs Out Of Tune I'm singing together with a few friends When we find ourselves at home Having a drink Not realizing that we've forgotten you Just yesterday evening We were talking about you As I walked toward the house, You came to mind In bed I turned over And said nothing And I recalled in your voice Something fresh and strange That gave our group something extra Enrico - who sounds like his wife - Sings along Giovanni as always hears It out of tune - as it is Songs of love That still make your heart feel good We're tired but happy If you close your eyes You might hear us even from there The other Sunday we went to the lake I even caught a huge pike It looked like a dragon Then in the evening We sang quietly on the train That American piece That you were singing Songs out of tune, The words always a little wrong You remember so many evenings Spent this way If you close your eyes You might hear us even from there Songs of love That still make your heart feel good We almost always talk Sometimes not, sometimes not Songs out of tune The words always a little wrong You remember so many evenings |

When he's with the woman, he probably misses the fish.
