Scott, this is a fun song to listen to. I enjoy the way you used the background vocals behind the guitar. By the way, that is a nice looking guitar icon you have on SoundCloud!

This is a very peaceful tune.
As Robert said, very mysterious and delicate.
And I agree with Bob.
I also love the fragility of this song. Very beautiful and moving...
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Thanks Shigeki Really glad you like the song. Thanks for checking it out

Would you explain you amp/mic set up please?


Thanks Rayc for checking out the song. I use a usb mic for recording. I get a bit of latency with it. I use Reaper to adjust the timing to the backtrack. The amp I used for this song is a late 60's hand wired Garnet Sessionman...

I thoroughly enjoyed this smile I love how gentle and fragile this sounds. It is almost lullaby-esque, but the guitars and pulsing beat behind it really push it to be much more. The way the guitar works with those quiet choirs in the background gives it an otherworldly quality.

Great work - thanks for sharing!


Cheers,
Deryk

Beyond all that it's simply a nice, well performed and thoroughly pleasing production.

Glad you didn't abandon it!

Thanks so much Janice and Bud for the awesome comments. After it was completed I did feel ok about the song. Will put it in the daily jam rotation.

Very smooth melody, so soothing. The mix is superb as well. Love the vocal harmony in the background. I can listen to this before I go to sleep.

Wow Scott,

I never heard a Gretsch guitar being used this way (or maybe I missed something, thought it was a typical Rock'n Roll guitar).

BEAUTIFUL!

Thanks Jim for checking out the song and commenting. The new ohhs and ahhs tracks are so well done. There is definitely some secret sauce in how BIAB developers get them to works so well. Thanks for the comment on the guitar icon on soundcloud. This Gretsch has become a favorite of late.

Thanks Derek Glad you liked the song. I tend to gravitate to these types of song. I find the very peaceful to play. Mind you this was a bit of a beast creating I have warmed up to it...

Thanks Rob This is a small body Gretsch similar to the one George Harrison used during the early years of the Beatles. The Duojet has a very unique sound.

Hi Scott. Lovely tune and melody. Really nice guitar work.

I personally didn't care for the backing oos. Maybe try substituting a horn pad or something. And have the pad drop out at times.

But I like the tune and everything you've done with the guitar.

Peace,

Ian

Very mellow! I'm not used to hearing such "structured" playing from a lead guitar.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Scott you made me smile with the behind the scenes title story.
Lovely tone and expression in your playing and melody on top of a really nice arrangement with the ethereal bgvs.
