Lap style acoustic guitar percussive improv

Hi yall,

I just got back into playing after taking an 8 year break and I’d love for some feedback on the technique or structure or ideas for how I can develop this sound further. I play pretty unconventionally with the guitar on my lap, almost like it’s a drum. I don’t know how to loop or anything like that yet, so it’s all from a single play through.

Thanks for listening (best with headphones turned up)! Hope it’s enjoyable!

Hi everyone,

I recently got back into playing after not playing regularly for years and recorded this on a Yamaha FSX3.

It is a completely improvised one-take recording in standard tuning. I play with the guitar laid flat on my lap and use an unconventional approach that mixes tapping and percussion with the strings.

I’d love honest feedback—whatever comes to mind while listening. What stands out? What works? What doesn’t?

Thanks for listening.
