Thanks so much for checking out the song. Funny as I was putting the song through a bunch of styles I randomly picked this one and when I heard the flutes I sat straight up. It too reminded me of the Beatles. Glad you liked the song

Just lovely. Great performance Scott! The digital effect pedal was standout.

Lol thank you Robert. I seem to regress to these tunes when stuck inside while its constantly raining outside. Does present some relief from a gloomy date. Glad you liked the song. Getting high on life is the way to go even if the other stuff is legal now ;-)..

Yes I agree on the effect. I have been trying to get to know this little fella. It definitely has some interesting sounds. Will be interesting down the road to see where it can fit in and complement the song. Thanks Ray glad you liked the song.
Been loving your collabs as well

Hi Scott ...


I have to agree with all that's been said. A cool sound ... relaxing, dreamy and throws your cares right out the window. Enjoyed this a bunch. I've never had or used a Whammy pedal ... will have to check it out. Don't know a thing about it ... except that you created a wonderful sound with it.

Best to you ...

Alan

Really like the ElectroFlutes - sounds like flute Mellowtron. Three minutes goes by fast when listening to a well played track.

That beginning of your song (the electronic interference), did you do that on purpose? I liked it. Sounded like an old fashioned amplifier, Reminded me of the old days...

Hans

Thank you Hans for the kind words. I think the interference at the beginning was some dissonance between the real tracks. Gld you liked the song

Thanks for sharing!


Thanks Derek. Glad you liked the song

Nice mood, nice playing.

Enjoyed the listen!

The backing track is very nice and I love what and how you play. The whammy sound is great as well.

Really nice, enjoyed the listen a lot!

Thanks Stefan Glad you liked the song.

Thanks Eric. The pitch changes are done with a pedal manufactured by Digitech. This one is the V5. Has lots of other cool pitch tones that may show up in some new songs :-)

Scott,

Love your tone... The mix sounds awesome and it certainly does have that "jam" feel.

Cool! Not what I was expecting for a jam track, which was nice. Despite the strong connection to "Strawberry Fields", you made those Mellotron flutes your own.

FYI: I noticed there's an odd clicking at the intro just after the count-in, like some sort of encoding artifact. I listening using a couple browsers, just to make sure it wasn't a one-off thing.

Thanks David for checking out the song. Yes I didn't clip out all the count in at the first of the song and there is a bit of dissonance between two of the chord changes at the bigging of the song. Will fix it after the song fades of the main pages...

Scott,

Your guitar and the Whammy get along just fine.
Strawberry Fields Forever flutes fit this tune very well.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Hi Scott,

I always enjoy our lyrical works. I found this a pleasantly comfortable listen. For some reason it reminded me of Acker Bilk's "Stranger On The Shore"... not because they are musically similar but because your playing, like Acker Bilk's, made me feel relaxed as I sat here and listened.

All the best,
Noel

Oh wow. Right up my alley, this one. Totally to my taste - and your performance is (objectively so, for me) nothing short of brilliant. It's as if that guitar talks to me! Well done.
