Here is another one of my resurrections. I re-did the guitar backtracks and switched all the original midi tracks to real tracks.

It was also remixed in Studio One.

Really pretty, Scott. The band is just enough, providing essential momentum and framing that lovely progression. I like the way those ascending changes lead solidly into the two-chord vamp. Play was clean and expressive. Between it and the extensions, it's a really sad and dreamy piece.

Scott,

A good re-do. Guitar tone is nice. Backing sounds good.

As Tangmo said... "dreamy".

Nice.

Ethereal, cinematic and lovely -- chops and tone.

The minimalist backing really accented the guitar.

Excellent!

Hi Scott,

The music fits perfectly with the title - shades of sadness and melancholy in the track.
Some nice guitar phrasing and a beautiful sound from the Eventides.

Enjoyed.
ROG.

Although the title is about missing someone, to me this sounds very happy, like a paradise song: sun, birds, bees and flowers. Enjoyable chording and playing, actually you are painting images with your guitar. Very good band, I like how you bring the organ forward in the chorus section.

Hi Scott,

Your skills on that lead guitar are impressing!
It all sounded so easy, but I know it isn't easy at all to play like you do.
The melodyline in the song is nice, sweet and melancholic at the same time. It could be the songtitle pushed my feelings in that direction, but who cares as long as it is a very nice song!

Well done!
Hans

Very psych dream scape like BUT the beginning is sudden...might do with a minor fade in...
The drum fill at 0.50 seems odd tonally as well as seemingly very narrow.
Lovely playing.


Cheers

Thank again everyone for checking out the song. I do appreciate your comments.

Thanks Ray I will have another look at the intro to the song. I originally did this song 8 years ago and was just getting started with BIAB and was using mostly midi backtracks. The selection of real tracks got better and better over the years. I did struggle however with matching real tracks to the previous midi files. This happened with a few of the songs I rerecorded and remixed. Quite a few of the songs are very different from the originals. So of my old melodys did not fit in as well and had to come up with new ones to compensate.

A lovely dreamscape Scott.
The change at .45 is especially fine.
The B3 swirls around nicely. Your tone and ways of capturing and mixing your guitar, gets better all the time.

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.
