this is pure experimental music which shows my guitar skills as guitar virtuose
in this song the clear influence of many good jazz guitarists is to be mentioned
Story behind the song
I am checking here my new guitar Scheckter
The lyrics is based on Psalm of David 23 which was the one I have received for my ceremony of baptismal in 2003 when I was already 48 before I was a non believing atheist
I have chosen the baptismal speech I love it.
Lyrics
The Lord Is My Shepherd
A Psalm of David.
23 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures.
He leads me beside still waters.[a]
3 He restores my soul.
He leads me in paths of righteousness[b]
for his name's sake.
4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,[c]
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.
5 You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies;
you anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
6 Surely[d] goodness and mercy[e] shall follow me
all the days of my life,
and I shall dwell[f] in the house of the Lord
forever.[g]
