David. I have listened to your music oly once, the two versions on this post.

I am going to be bold and make some points for your consideration.

It sounds like you use an open tuning.

I like your flights from low notes to higher, and from high to low. Figure an 8 bar simple theme on the tonic or 1 chord. Repeat it on the 4 chord

Then back to a 4 bar repeat of the original theme.

You could then do a variation of the finger picked theme using strummed chords. The listener needs somewhere to land in between single note flights of a lot of notes.

Let me know if this makes any sense to you. You are not writing something to read that we can scan back over for clarification.

Be well. Keep making music.

Love it! (picture a guy sitting at his kitchen table plucking his bass strings to your ‘Bottles, the stuff that no one would’ve ever heard, whilst reading… yeah, that happened)
