Acoustic Blues - The Soft Core Project

Written in c. 1987 / Recorded in 1996

A short instrumental tune for solo acoustic guitar. This was originally written back in the late 1980s, when I was early twenties. At that time, I only made a sketch recording as an idea for feature composition, then the idea was soon forgotten and was discovered nearly a decade later, while I was reviewing old cassette tapes to pick up some ideas for my personal recording scheme dubbed as The Soft Core Project.
Due to a requirement of the scheme, this new attempt was recorded in two parts; intro part by solo acoustic guitar, followed by the main part accompanied with bass and drums, alternated with making use of the rhythm machine. The latter part is omitted from this video because I felt it doesn't sound good and is unnecessary for presenting this brief but smartly written composition.
