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.

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.

Thanks Shigeki. I seemed to be drawn to the minor chord modulations. Glad you liked the songs.

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 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 wink

Well done!


Thanks so much for checking out the song. So glad you liked it.

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.

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...

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.

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..

Band-in-a-Box 2026 Video: AI Stems & Notes - split polyphonic audio into instruments and transcribe

This video demonstrates how to use the new AI-Notes feature together with the AI-Stems splitter, allowing you to select an audio file and have it separated into individual stems while transcribing each one to its own MIDI track. AI-Notes converts polyphonic audio—either full mixes or individual instruments—into MIDI that you can view in notation or play back instantly.
