Another nice tune, Sergio.
Well played, a good listen. Would have liked to hear it with less distortion on your guitar - but still good. I like your title...
And... HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Hi Sergio.
I'm with Floyd on this one - good track, but might have been better with a cleaner guitar.
Nice playing.

Sergio, this has great backing tracks and some very good guitar playing. I liked the change at the 1:45 mark. But I'm with the others about your guitar tone in this one. In my simple mind I don't think distorted guitar goes well in country but YMMV.
OK, a random thought;
Why does toilet paper need a commercial? Who's not buying it?

I think your bass is a little bit distorted too, at least on my phones! I would accelerate the tempo a little bit. Sorry if I am crossing some line... Just think you could make this tune happier, capici? Keep on country-rocking,

Good tune and I enjoyed your guitar work on this one though the distortion was a bit out of place for the genre. I normally expect such a heavy effect to be a backing fill rather than the lead.

floyd Hello Sergio, We agree with Floyd, that a clean guitar sound would probably fit this arrangement better? Apart from that another nice one and.... happy birthday! Rob and Anne-Marie

Enjoyed it Sergio. The guitar has a slightly celtic sound to me. A bit like bagpipes.
Nice change. Cheers.

Sergio,
Very, very nice,
I agree with the others about the distortion but it didn't distract from my enjoyment of the tune.

Happy belated birthday Sergio. I too think distortion detracts from the vibe of the song. Again you have found a recurring melody which I like. Tom

Another good melody, but I'm not a fan of the distortion.

Great tune and that RT fiddle sounds like it was made
for this melody. And, wow, is that ever a great
melody. Perhaps the solo distortion suggests
that the journey to heaven is not silky smooth.
We enjoyed it!

Hi Sergio! I really enjoy your guitar playing although I would have to be in agreement with the others on the guitar effects for this particular song. I do think the accordion was a nice touch. Keep up the good work!

Very sweet tune!! Needs a little more distortion on the guitar. Just kidding! I agree with the others that it could be a bit less. Very nice music. Really melodic and enjoyable and the fiddle works perfectly! Enjoyed much! Take care. Greg
