this is beautiful. I love what you've played over the chords, some of it is so unexpected as to really drop my jaw. The melody is like nothing else I've ever heard.

Your subdued guitar tone is a good match for the real tracks, which have a bit more sparkle, and the end result is very pleasing to the ear. My only complaint about this song is that it ends too soon! I want to hear a bridge! Maybe a modulation up a step, and some more stuff that amazes me!

It's like the ride in the amusement park that ends just as you learned how to hold on.

wonderful!

Hi Pat.
Thanks for the suggestion . Im so glad you took your time on my music.
I actually feels the same. My plan is to make an album with miniatures ,and this should be the first intro tune followed immediately by another of my tunes, but I might have taken "Tak" too much out of that path, so inspired by your suggestion, I think I´ll try to expand the ending..

I completely agree with Pat. This is fabulous. Your super chops played over those chords really sound fantastic. I could listen to a whole album of songs like this. Our friend Graham (Furry) could use this for his radio show.

I agree with Pat that this end way to soon.

What they said!

The simple backing really compliments the guitar.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Thank you so much for your kind words :-)
It really encourages me to share more...
I have now made an extended version of the tune.
Its just like a little tag, that tells the tour will end, but it gives me an allright feeling now..

Nice one. Very easy on the ear. Great tone from the lead guitar, which sits nicely in the mix. The chord progression takes the listener to some unexpected places - all of them good.
