OUTSTANDING Torrey.
An instrumental with a coherent melody and a lead instrument voice that becomes a voice inside my head.
The backing is terrific - there's plenty going on but everything supports the melody.
ACE. Thanks Ray! That positive input means a lot to me! T

Hi Torrey,
Wonderful tone on that lead guitar - I wouldn't change anything this time around.
A great track, beautifully put together.
Lots of atmosphere from the backing track and some superb playing on the melody.
Loved it.

Torrey
One of the best guitar instrumentals I heard on this forum.
Excellent.
Peter Ditto to this one. Mike B.

Torrey, this is fantastic. Great chops and a very sweet sounding axe. The backing tracks fit like a glove. Excellent mix.
Two thumbs up. Thanks Mario! I really appreciate it! T

Wow, that is some playing. I can't believe that's an acoustic guitar. So nice. Lovely sound. Great atmosphere you captured. Good one. Thanks jptjptjpt! I spent a considerable amount of time trying to dial in a good sound on my acoustic. It seems like I always struggle getting the sound I want with that thing. T

Hi Torrey,
I agree with all above - a terrific performance and reminiscent of the great Carlos Santana.
I also can't believe you got that tone from an acoustic guitar.
Great work.
Best Regards
Nigel Thanks Nigel! I really appreciate that! T

Wow, Torrey, you pretty much blew me away with this one! Just OUTSTANDING! One of the best instrumentals I have ever heard actually, right up there with Europa IMHO. Love the little modulation you snuck in right at the end!  Thanks Dave! Your comments mean a lot to me! T

Sedonna is such a wonderful piece of the planet. You were inspired and created a very inspirational piece of music. What a great bed of changes, and your guitar glides over them with such ease and taste. Excellent dynamics! Some songs become instrumentals because the words never come; this one is one where there ARE no words to convey such an inspired feeling. Love it, Torrey! Well said. Thanks Marty! People who never get to see that wonderful place are really missing out on something! T

"...and still am looking for that sweet spot with the eq and effects on it but feel it's getting closer" Memo to Mr. Bliss, You got there. Extremely well crafted and sublimely played. No hints here and there of a melody ... it is established and maintained from the get go. Thanks J&B! I really appreciate it! T And you supported it with an excellent BiaB choice and mix. Kudos J&B

Hi Torrey,
I wasn't here when you first posted the old version, so I have no real reference whether it sounds better or not. Without listening to the first version, I'd have to say it probably stands on its own. This is a very well played piece, especially your part with the acoustic guitar. It kind of sounds a lot like Carlos Santana in a few places. Nice choice of bands and adapting different styles together. Thanks Bawb for the kind words! T

Hi Torrey, This is such easy-on-the-ears listening.  You maintained my interest from start to finish. It was so easy to sit here at my computer and let the music drift around me. Personally, I find it very difficult creating an instrumental that captures people's imagination and then leads them along on an entertaining musical journey. You made it sound so easy. You definitely have a flair for melody and for knowing when to repeat and when to develop motifs. This is also such an awesome production. I thoroughly enjoyed where your music took me. All the best, Noel
