Well, the i Luv Guitar Site is picking up. I added an internal discussion area to the site, plus have started to add new content.

Here’s the latest feedback from an i Luv Guitar site user: “This is a general comment on how stunned I am at the content on the subscription site. Just the simple code “12 1 7 5 2 221-2221″ does so much to demystify the guitar! But it’s not just the quality of the content, it’s the presentation style. The article on surfaces and motors is exactly what I needed to read while I’m learning a new picking style. Your videos deserve some kind of award for “saying” so much with so little.” [Thanks, Frank!]

i Luv Guitar on Facebook is at 14 fans, but we have been running ads on facebook, & getting solid results from that campaign.

Also, have a new guitar, a Gurian S3R. It is an unreal guitar with crazy resonance. Pushing thresholds with fingerstyle chops & writing new material. I’ve started video taping many of my sketches, & plan to share those on a weekly basis. The recording project has plateaued while I set up a new recording space of my own. We have moved the process along, yet slowly. Check out “Love”.

I’m also looking for some early adopters to try my video exchange program. I’m really excited about this system. As some of you may know, I’ve faced some serious harassment from some nut-jobs, so this is part of a solution to the continuation of 1-to1 interaction.

I’m a big fan of twitter at the moment, & tweet roughly 2-10 times a day, just depending on the landscape of interactions. Not sure where all this social webbing is heading, but it is fun.

And for the first time in a while, I added a new lesson in i Love Guitar: Note Names.

Happy February; it’s gonna be a good one.

jamey Faulkner – “Love”

I wrote this tune after having a cool experience with Donovan.

I was playing at Spotted Frog Bookstore in Park City, Utah as the ‘opener’ for Donovan’s book tour.

He hung out with me and another guitarist from Australia quite a bit that evening. At the end of the night, he came up to me and stood really close, face to face and said, “Jamey should write a song for Donovan and call it love”. Sticking with the 3rd person talk, I said “If Jamey writes a song for Donovan and calls it love, how will the song find Donovan?” to which he replied, “If Jamey writes a song for Donovan and calls it love, it will find Donovan”.

It has not found Donovan, yet.

Still some harmonies to add, yet thought you may enjoy hearing where the tune is, at this moment.

This moment is all there is.

Lyrics to Love

While we’re waking, echoes blanket me
What we mirror, we love again
Your new station, lulls & feels complete
And I miss you even then

Love is all we feel, with every waking sunrise
I’ll say it, you’re the one so complete
I know our feelings grow stronger, yeah, in this hour
I sing your song in my sleep

Nothing wasted, keeping every beat
While our story fills the air
All so easy, rushes as if freed
While the mystery spins again

Love is all we feel, with every waking sunrise
I’ll say it, you’re the one so complete
I know our feelings grow stronger, yeah, in this hour
I sing your song in my sleep

Signs
Cover the night sky
Never not a why
All these signs

Love is all we feel, with every waking sunrise
I’ll say it, you’re the one so complete
I know our feelings grow stronger, yeah, in this hour
I sing your song in my sleep

With every waking moment, I love you
You’re the one so complete

With every day now, yeah, it grows stronger,
I sing your song in my sleep
