Very pretty song with your very recognizable clean sound and excellent phrasing.
A very nice evocative piece well performed.

Scott,

This sounds great - love the tone you're getting out of that Tele... The subtle backing tracks are very nicely mixed and provide just the right amount of support.

What a great selection of Instruments!

I can totally picture the slow-motion slide across the ice and snow into the abyss!

Wonderful melody on your guitar!

Scott,

How many guitars do you own?
So far we've seen (if memory serves us well) several Gibsons, a Strat and now a Telecaster (is that brown one not the one Springsteen used?
Again a very fine instrumental, with a wise choice of accordion and fiddle, which both work very well in this mix.

Scott,
Very pretty melody and with a nice country backing.
Beautifully played.
The combination of pirouetting & driving fills me with dread, but I enjoyed your take on the experience!

Hi Scott,

You pack so much music with relatively simple backing tracks. You always have just enough for a super sound but nothing that's not needed. Simplicity done right makes for some of the best music. You do it right! Wishing you well,

Hi Rob Currently I have 8 guitars. The Telecaster is a 52RI. The music scene in Edmonton is pretty vibrant and there is allot of buy, selling and trading of musical instruments here in the city. I traded the Tele about a month ago for a Gibson ES339. The Tele has a super sound but I prefer the feel of the Stratocaster.

I did this song right after I received my 2017 BIAB. I was like a kid in a candy store listening to all the new Real tracks available and how well they fit together.

Thanks for checking out the song

First of all what is snow? I have a vague memory of such a thing but it has been a long time. Your personal style is very effective on this tune. Nice playing and a good choice of Real Tracks. Well mixed. Everything sits just right. I enjoyed it. Tom

Blues lovers will be thrilled—there are more “classic acoustic blues” styles, including guitar (5), bass (4), and drums (10) with blues master Colin Linden, featuring understated and tasty background acoustic soloing, plus brushes drums and acoustic bass. There are also new electric blues RealTracks, including electric blues with PG favorite Johnny Hiland (3) and soulful electric slide guitar from Colin Linden (4).

And for big, bold arrangements, we have uptempo soul horns (4) featuring a three-part hip horn section with options for a full mix or stems of each individual horn — plus an accompanying rhythm section (4) of drums, bass, guitar, and electric piano!

Rock & Pop (Sets 476–482):
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.

Check out all the 202 new RealTracks (in sets 468-488)!
