Scott, that is some very impressive chops!

Super tone on that axe and blended perfectly with the backing tracks

Loved it

PS - we have a lot of Crocus in our garden. They are the first sign of spring, even if they get covered with snow!

Scott, I really like it when you lift the lead line up from the delay so the melodic flow is clearer.

Hi Scott ...

Absolutely love this! The timing of the echo delay is perfect. Having that timing just right makes a big difference.

As always, the tone of your guitar is perfect for the song. This is just so good any way you want to evaluate it. Excellent!!!

Scott,

Wonderful instrumental (and they are normally not my thing). But the guitar playing here was so stellar, so slick . . . you have to keep listening. Like those drums kicking in at around the 50 second mark. Well done!

Kindest regards,

Deej

For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.

Scott,

The two delayed guitars working off of each other really create some lovely textures! I enjoyed this tune! One of my favorites of yours!

This is a very pretty instrumental and your tone and melody definitely give it that great dreamy quality.

Janice said she was picturing a field of crocus' swaying in the breeze. smile

Keep on experimenting with those new styles, Scott, and give us more beauties!

That simple five note theme in the beginning was brilliant! And so was the rest of the piece. Easily your best work, IMHO. Great work!

Scott, you are so good on that guitar, man. I always say your taste, technique and tone are on such a professional level of expertise. A wonderfully captivating flow with this one, too. You always take us to some magical place when we close our eyes and listen.


Enjoy whatever happens!
