Nice haunting guitar work. It really sucks you in. I am usually not a fan of instrumentals. This kept my attention throughout though. Nice playing. I love the melodic nature of it. I have never been a shred fan - but nothing like melodic soloing to bring a song along.

Really sweeeeeeeet!! Some nice playing. I can see what Floyd means about the spagetti western feel. Some of the guitar is also kind of Spanish style. Very intriguing music, and so nicely played!! Take care. Greg

The second lead tone is really cool - not as twangy/compressed as the 1st. The stuff on lap steel adds a different slightly detuned context against the melody that works really well once the opening bars are done.
Nice work.
Cheers

enjoyed the listen Scott
nice guitar tone, nice melody
I can see movie credits rolling by, great soundtrack
Kenny Thanks Kenny for checking out the song. Glad you liked it. Glad to see you are posting songs again Hello,
Really mellow guitar sound!
Very sweet!
And the modulations are very unique.
The drifting feeling of going back and forth between C minor key, D minor key and A minor key is wonderful.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi Thanks Shigeki. I seemed to be drawn to the minor chord modulations. Glad you liked the songs. Scott, that's a very cinematic and nicely textured tune.
We love how easy it is to just fall in with it and let it take you on a relaxed journey.
Very nice playing and tone on all your instruments!
J&B I think J&B hit it square on the head. I have to echo every words they said. As mentioned by them and others, the tone of your guitar is fantastic! What a treat! Best to you. ALan Thanks Alan Glad you liked the song

I know others have mentioned how cinematic the song is; but you may want to consider putting it out there for something like that. I have to agree, it sets a mood that you could SO see being used for film. I honestly didn't know what to expect (not in a bad way)...just literally had NO expectation. I really liked it all the way around. It's never a bad thing when a drummer gets a guitar part stuck in their head  Well done! Thanks so much for checking out the song. So glad you liked it. Scott,
When I listened to this, I did what I nearly always do with your works -- I sat back, closed my eyes and freely let images pass through my mind as I journeyed along with your playing. I found this a most enjoyable excursion.
As I've said a number of times before, you really have a wonderful lyrical quality to your playing.
All the best,
Noel So glad you checked out the song Noel. Just loved your comments. I'll never really understand where these melodies come from. Hidden some where in the backtrack I suppose. So glad you liked the song. Nice haunting guitar work. It really sucks you in. I am usually not a fan of instrumentals. This kept my attention throughout though. Nice playing. I love the melodic nature of it. I have never been a shred fan - but nothing like melodic soloing to bring a song along.
Dave Thanks Dave for checking out the song. I am sure if I attempted to sing on one of my songs you would much prefer the instrumental lol. So glad you liked the song. I am really liking your work as well...

Really sweeeeeeeet!! Some nice playing. I can see what Floyd means about the spagetti western feel. Some of the guitar is also kind of Spanish style. Very intriguing music, and so nicely played!! Take care. Greg Thanks Greg This guitar I am using has a piezo pickup in that sounds exactly like an acoustic. So able to get the acoustic sound without out having to play the heavy strings on the acoustic. The second lead tone is really cool - not as twangy/compressed as the 1st. The stuff on lap steel adds a different slightly detuned context against the melody that works really well once the opening bars are done.
Nice work. Thanks Rayc for checking out the song. I was using a Ceritone head and playing with the channel volume and master volume to get the tubes to break up a bit. I also tuned the compression pedal off for that part. The lap steel is definitely a different beast. As there are no frets hit the notes right on is quite an art that will take sometime to improve. The vibrato helps allot to keep the notes in pitch..
