A guitar-centric Latin feel tune with some piano solos. The acoustic piano sound is from Analog Lab, the German Jazz Studio piano. The electric piano part is the MIDI part from the 2288 piano RealTrack with some editing. The guitar is a Gibson archtop.

Hello Ray ...

Nice to "meet" you. This is the first of your songs I've had the privilege to listen to. Latin Jazz is one of our very favorite genres. This one really represents the genre at its best. Nice arrangement and presentation. I really enjoyed my listen!

The headstock photo on your Soundcloud account is, I'm pretty sure, a Gibson L-5. If that's your guitar ... nice! I had an ES 175 for many years. I now use a Stromberg Monterey for my Jazz numbers. I don't play nearly as much as I once did due to a medical condition that affects control of my fingers.

Anyway ... that was a real sweet listen! Congrats on a song well done in all respects. Best to you. Be safe ...

Alan

That's a great track, thanks for this. The guitar tone here is really beautiful and fits the mellow vibe nicely.

By your icon I thought this might hard rock!

Excellent jazz guitar chops, very much in the vain of Wes Montgomery, one of my favorite guitarist.

I hope you do more like this as I could listen to this hours on end!

Fantastic chops!

Thanks for the kind words. Yes, it's an L-5 you hear on this track. Most of the melody is played thumb style (as it should be!).

Very enjoyable listen, RayL. After reading your opening [A guitar-centric Latin feel tune with some piano solos.] I knew I was gonna love it. Excellent guitar.


Enjoy whatever happens!
