Hi Scott,
I think you captured the "homesick" feel beautifully.
I also love the tone of your Les Paul through Purdy.
Sweet!

Scott,
There`s a nice wistful feeling to this - your guitar tone & effects add to that and the melody riff is very pretty.
An enjoyable way to start my day!

Beautiful solo work on this Scott. I know it is a Gibson Les Paul, but it almost sounds like a dire Straits kinda Strat.

Hello, Scott
You captured the "homesick" feeling beautifully.
The tone of your Les Paul through Purdy and its effect are so nice.
Sweet and pleasant.
It reminds me of Hank Marvin of the Shadows a little bit.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best Regards.

Rob Thanks Rob and Marie for checking out the song. I loved the sound of this Les Paul it is very different than Les Paul with the humbuckers. I find it in between the strat and the humbucker

floyd Thanks Floyd for checking out the song. This was probably my most difficult song I have done as the melody was not coming very easily. It was put in the holding pattern quite a few times over the last 6 months. I am glad you liked it

Our new rock & pop RealTracks bring a powerful mix of requested favorites, fresh genres, and modern chart-inspired styles! We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.
Country, & Americana (Sets 483–488):
Our new country & Americana RealTracks deliver a rich collection of acoustic, electric, and roots-inspired styles! We have new country pop (9) with legendary guitarist Brent Mason. There is also a potpourri (14) of bouzouki, guitars, banjo, and more, perfect for adding texture and character to contemporary acoustic arrangements. We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.
