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

An oldie but a goldie Scott.
I always find it interesting going back to a song I've written years before and then reworking it.
Thanks for sharing this one.
Your guitar and playing sound sublime.
Cheers,
Mike

Yep, what they all said about the wonderful guitar playing. I also like the variance of the pacing and mood throughout. I especially like the little flurries in places like at 1:07 and 3:40.

Thanks Bob Glad you like the song. There is nothing better than playing a Les Paul through an old school Marshall amp turned up until the tubes are vibrating lol. Glad you liked the song
