 Song for an Ancient Muse |

I feel like I walked into an ancient temple in Tibet - or somewhere far from Bainbridge Island. Thanks for the journey, original tune?

These tunes are from a mythic isle, somewhere off the coast of the Pacific Northwest, from an ancient culture, legendary for it's advanced, refined and sophisticated music. Surely you've heard of them, Laurence?
Actually...
The first is a prayer chant from India that I heard on a record about 40 years ago. The second is a song from somewhere in the Mideast, that I heard a friend of mine sing around that same time frame.
The first tune: I'm playing pretty straight-forward, as I recalled the melody. The second tune: I had fun finding ways to incorporate hammer-on/pull-off combinations for a flamenco-esque approach.
I'm going to do an archaeological search to see if I can find some more tunes from the mythic isle... see you on the next journey! Thanks for tuning in.
