We tend to initially be attracted to guitar tones we like and then move on to the actual playing.

You always have a feel for THE tone to support the feel of the composition and your playing.

Thanks for letting hear this version.

Very nice!

Sounds like a Mark Knopfler instrumental.

Great work.

Thank you Gary. Definitely the Shadows and the Ventures shaped my loved of music and the guitar. The Surfaris Wipe out was one of my favorite songs we did when we were in high school.
Glad you liked the song.

Thanks Deryk Appreciate the comments.

The vocal version is also extremely well done. You all should be very proud of these. Robert C, you wrote some fantastic lyrics that Greg sang perfectly.

I can't decide which version I like better!




Thanks Mario Glad you liked the song. This guitar is turning out to be a very versatile guitar. Humbuckers, Split coil, Piezo. has some very interesting sounds..

I also like the vocal better. With Roberts lyrics and Gregs vocal made it a very special song for me.

Scott,

This is beautiful. The tone of your guitar, and the lyrical way that you played it, sit so comfortably on the ears that I found myself closing my eyes and simply drifting through the images that you inspired.

I enjoyed this all the way.

All the best,
Noel

PRS sounds sweet!

Thanks so much Janice and Bud for checking out the song. It is funny the tones I get from my equipment changes so much. I rarely change the settings on my amps, pedals or guitars. Each one has it only personality. It is very strange as I can be playing in the afternoon and everything sounds so good then come back after supper and the sound just looses it's feel. Don't know if it is humidity, temperature in the room or what but sometimes "its" there and sometimes sound is just flat as a pancake.

Hello, Scott

Very beautiful!
Just like the Shadows' tune.
As David (dcuny) says, it works well as an instrumental.
Greg's vocal version is also nice.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.
