Amplifying acoustic instruments more than a little is really cheating, and everything becomes a compromise.

My stuff was more of a folk coffeehouse thing, with more acoustic guitar, just me doing a single, and then adding on instruments and voices, with emphasis on lyrics and singing and light kind of acoustic jazz.
I'm pursuing soundtrack work in the southern California area and down the line I plan to make a moody, intense acoustic album. Not all acoustic, but an acoustic - oriented guitar record that I've already written most of the material for.

But the reality is when you write a song, you should be able to strip away all the instruments and just have a song right there with an acoustic guitar and a voice, and the song should be good.

I'm making a record that's half stripped down acoustic which is the way I perform a lot and half of it is very produced. It's really hard to keep music simple but I was trying to keep it simple and focus on one or two instruments and vocals.
E.L. Well, there are these rules that guys have, an understanding as to what exactly constitutes cheating. Take your situation for example it's not cheating. It's never cheating when you're in a different area code, not to mention a different state.
The Thoughts Of You
Laying in bed
Thinking about you again
It almost feel like cheating
Not the phyical cheating
But mentally cheating
On the one who
Lays beside me tonight
I can't seem to stop
Wishing it was you
Instead of him
I just wished you would
Hurry up and marry her already
Just so I know that
There's no hope that
I'll ever get my chance with you
The Earthly Bias....
you are
this man torn between
sky and sea
you belong to the earth
take note
pray
that the sky shall not blind you
neither the
sea to drown you
take the middle
compromise, compromise,
compromise
always have that
compromise
the earth is still the most
beautiful place
to live
give it the bias
that for the meantime
it deserves

The 'morality of compromise' sounds contradictory. Compromise is usually a sign of weakness, or an admission of defeat. Strong men don't compromise, it is said, and principles should never be compromised.

If you play the very subtle jazz tunes with acoustic pianos, acoustic bass and it's a dead standard, you are going to play very differently. It depends on the music.

I'm not good enough to be playin' much acoustic guitar onstage. Man, you gotta get so right; I mean, the tones, the feel, the sound. Plus, acoustic blues guitar is just that much harder on the fingers.

I had different bands. I played with the Acoustic Warriors for the most part, without girl singers. It was the same kind of sound, acoustic guitar, bass, with violin and sometimes accordion, and the guys would sing, that kind of thing.
Maybe I Know
Maybe I know that shes been a-cheating
Maybe I know that shes been untrue
But what can I do
I hear them whispering as I walk by
Shes gonna break his heart and make him cry
I know its me theyre talking about
I bet they all think Ill never find out
But maybe I know that shes been a-cheating
Maybe I know that shes been untrue
But what can I do
Deep down inside she loves me
Though she may run around
I know someday shell love me
Someday shell settle down
But maybe I know that shes been a-cheating
Maybe I know that shes been untrue
But what can I do
Oh, maybe I know that shes been a-cheating
Maybe I know that shes been untrue
But what can I do

I even played bass for a while. Besides playing electric guitar, I'd also get asked to play some acoustic stuff. But, since I didn't have an acoustic guitar at the time, I used to borrow one from a friend so I could play folk joints.

Its No Secret
Written: stock aitken waterman
X4: its no secret (echoed)
1:
When I first met you
How you changed my life that day
But when each tomorrow
You just seem to drift away
Then I discovered
That you were cheating
You were cheating on me
But I was the last to know
Ooh, ooh
Chorus:
Our love was a lie
And its no secret
Its no secret
How you hurt me inside
And its no secret
Because you told everybody
2:
Didnt I really love you
You know I gave you all my heart
When I put my arms around you
I never thought wed ever part
Ooh, ooh
Then I discovered
I guess you couldnt love me
Like you said you love me
Ohh, no
Why was I the last to know
Chorus:
Bridge:
All of my life
I was looking for someone
Just like you
You shattered my dreams
Tore me apart
What can I do
(you were cheating)
(you were cheating on me)
But I was the last to know
Chorus:
(repeat & fade)

I don't want to write any more for the old Man-power instruments and am handicapped by the lack of adequate electrical instruments for which I now conceive my music.

I still think that I'm playing instruments, not just pushing buttons and there it goes. It's interactive and alive with the sound and the manipulation and it plays like instruments.
Peter was sick of being a pop star, the guitar god, and so he decided to teach himself other instruments. Among the instruments that he picked up was the mandolin.

Dont Let Me Cross Over
Im tempted my darlin to steal you away
Dont let me cross over, stay out of my way
cause you know that I love you and Im not the stealin kind
But Im faced with heartache here at loves cheating line
Chorus:
Dont let me cross over loves cheating line
You belong to another and can never be mine
I know one step closer would be heaven divine
Dont let me cross over loves cheating line
Ive tried to forget you but what else can I do
When your eyes keep saying that you want me too
And I know if I lose you not a dream will I have left
I dont want to cheat dear, but I cant help myself
