Empezar de Nuevo (A New Beginning) I composed this song for my brother who died a few years ago, to remember that we must star over and give the best of ourselves to get ahead.

?Mattonya? is a soloacoustic finger-style guitar composition. Like ?Krisomas?, ?Mattonya? was composed for Mattand Tonya?s wedding, hence the name. ?Mattonya? is from my release ?BeyondWords? and included in my newest compilation. ?Together As One? which is songsI composed for weddings as ?Mattonya? created this theme. ?Mattonya? opens with no intro, gets right to the theme. The theme is in 4/4 and switches elegantly to 6/8, a delightful change. ?Mattonya? could be a welcome part of your show and is appropriate for schools, students, and church services for special events or concerts. "Mattonya" is an easy flowing piece which needs compassion. The 6/8 section does need to be steady and aggressive. Practice this section with a metronome starting out about 90 BPM's or what's comfortable. Then build up to 125 BPM's, the original tempo. It's important to adhere to the fingering, it works really well. Standard tuning. I've had a lot of success with "Mattonya" and I'm confident you will too! Enjoy and please share your comments. I can help with questions and or concerns. I've included the studio recording as well as a live performance.
