Slowly regaining strength and inspiration

No meaningful title this time, as this track is just a part of my daily practice. I spent four weeks in hospital after my surgery (normally it should be ten days, some complications got in the way), and when I finally returned home I was so week I couldn’t play for another week or so, spending most of the day in bed.
Fortunately, even though my therapy is far from being over, I’m gradually recovering and now can play as much as I used to, so my skills and inspiration slowly return :slight_smile:
As usual, I recorded a chord progression and freely improvised over it. The track is in the key of E, and I used four chords only, I vi IV and V (the least interesting… :wink: ) with some extensions. I used my Hotone Ampero Mini as an interface and for all effects, and the recording software was Audacity (I could never use a true DAW, shame on me…).

Most happy to hear you are recovering well, Tomasz. Can’t imagine 4 weeks in hospital. The 1 I spent after my surgery was tough enough.

The improv is lovely, Relaxing is such an apt title. Wonderful tones and blend of lead and cords.

Deborah: not a complete success, therefore some chemotherapy seems to be necessary. I hope I’ll survive nonetheless… :wink:
