'Call of the Sea' - YouTube video link. (Switch to 1080HD if it doesn't do so automatically). I started this project with a backing track from 'Coffee Break Grooves' which gave me the idea for the melody line. I added/changed parts of the backing track to get what I needed, using some electric piano and bass from BIAB styles _SJAZZC2.STY and _JFNKPOP.STY. The guitar parts are mine, played on a new Mexican Stratocaster - in Surf Green appropriately! Other details can be found here: 'Call of the Sea' - Johnsongs page.Relax and drift away!  John

Hi John,
A super track and some seriously nice guitar.
Reminded me slightly of Shakatak.
Loved the video.

Stunningly beautiful, John!
Flawless playing, super nice clean tone. The supporting instruments are excellent and... perfectly supportive... the other guitar, the e. piano and some quality drum work...
Best guitar instrumental I've heard in a long, long time.
And spectacular video...

Skyline, man this is my kind of jam!! Could listen to a lot of this! I loved the way your panned R&L guitars beautifully complimented the center lead. Beautiful clean sounding strat ( I don't care where it was made, it sounds wonderful! Young players could learn a lot from you about how a great groove can be attained with clean tone. God Bless and keep at it. Torrey.

Amazing melodic playing and a tone perfect for the mood.
The video was a good complement to the tune.
This one has film score written all over it!
Excellent...

Hello, John
Excellent guitar playing! Octave play is so nice. And Video, too.
Perfect pitch, correct choking, beautiful fingering, flowing phrasing, excellent stability. All are top notch.
Audience can continue to listen your play with no uneasiness.
Very Enjoyable listen.
Best Regards.
Shigeki Adachi

John, what a great sound you delivered.
I was immersed in the ambience right from the first note.
This is really wonderful playing. Thoroughly enjoyable.

Many thanks everyone for the kind comments, I really appreciate it. I've got to sign off for a couple of days now as I'm going in for an inguinal hernia repair. Decades of lifting Marshalls have taken their toll I guess.  John

floyd John, I completely agree with floyd. Everything about this is flawlessly first class. It really is a beautiful listen. Like ROG, this reminded me of Shakatak too. You put together a great video to showcase the tune! I enjoyed the visual and audio journey. All the best, Noel

John, I enjoyed your very relaxing song. It took me back to a holiday I once had in the Seychelles. Your song would have been a perfect listen while sipping a coctail and relaxing on any of their beaches  Great tone from your new Strat btw. Thanks also for the link to coffee break grooves, looks interesting. Cheers, Jez
