David,

This is really elegant and beautiful... I love the way the two guitars play off each other - nice touch with the cello as well.

Excellent!

Bob

This is the kind of song that gives me a surreal feeling. The mixing also compliments the two guitars playing off of each other! Great song!

Beautifully done David; " elegant" as Bob said.

Beautiful song and beautifully played. There's grace in those fingers.

I'd like to add that you did a really good job getting such a good and clear tone from your acoustic. Would love to hear you discuss and share some details of the guitar you played and how you recorded it.

Nice job on this, I like how your part played off the BIAB guitar part. Enjoyed the listen!

Man, that is CLASSY! We suspect some thought went into that arrangement
but on the other hand you might have just knocked it off. Whichever, it
is superb.

Thank you Scott!

Thank you Charlie.

The guitar is just an old Taylor, one of the cheaper models, but I like the way it sounds better than some of the more expensive ones.

The secret sauce is a Fishman preamp, called an Aura Spectrum. Pretty pricey, but I played it at a friend's house and ordered one within two hours. It is truly a magic box.

I can plug an Ovation into it and it sounds exactly like a dobro on a certain setting.

I can plug a hollow body electric into it and it sounds exactly like a gypsy jazz guitar from back in the day.

Thanks Dave!

Thanks Janice and Bud!!

I actually did think a lot about that chord progression. I worked on it on and off for about 3 days, and it is only 2 tracks.

The last "spoof" of a dubstep I posted as joke took about 20 minutes from start to finish and that is about 20 tracks.

Weird, huh???

Thanks Kenny!

Well Dave, I'd say the Aura is well worth the price. It did a great job on the taylor.

I've just recently purchased a Yamaha THR10 that I hope will pull some magic out of my acoustic. It will take some magic considering how poorly I play.

Thanks for posting the additional info.

Hello, David

Very beautiful ambient music!
Your guitar so nice played.
The angel at the door is a real angel or a girl like angel?
I don't know why I think the question.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best Regards.
