Very much enjoyed the listen. One of your best.

Thanks Floyd My tone has been a work in progress. Been chasing that butterfly for quite awhile. Glad you liked the song

Nice chord progression, very melodic playing, and gorgeous tones on both the ES335 and the strat. Really fun chords and groove to play too. The chord with the most color, the B, can throw all sorts of stuff over that one.

SWEET! Very tasty guitar chops Scott. The backing tracks allow your playing to really shine. You are a fantastic guitarist.

Loved it!

Your guitar on this sounds even more like your signature sound than usual.

Very pretty, nicely played and arranged.

A good one.

Scott, it's already been alluded to but we feel that your composition is very cinematic. It's easy to picture a lovely film landscape as it plays.

The chops and tone are, as always, very unique to you. And that is always a good thing.

Thanks for the backstory on how you put it together. The band and mix are great. And, of course, Janice being an occasional cajon player caused us to notice the percussion.

Well done!

Hi Scott,

What a sensitive, sweet, and sad song you made!
A very nice solo and structure of the song.
It's a very nice one to let it play on and on while you read a book, try to sleep or do nothing but sipping on your rum.
Like it very much,

Hans

Hi Scott,

This one got past me and I'm glad it popped up. Man, I'd really love to be able to play like you. I love the melody and the way you arranged all of the different instruments. Great listen, thanks for posting!

Very beautiful playing, the melody is very strong and full of melancholy. At some point I was expecting to hear some Mark Knopfler type of singing. The instrumentation is excellent, the tin whistle gives nice Celtic feeling and the bass has pleasant sound. Twin City reminds me of my visit to Minneapolis/Saint Paul.

This was very good. Excellent tone(s), great chord progression, relaxing while haunting. The tone was unique to you, but I almost got some Carlos Santana-esque Dorian vibes there near the end.


I'm a songwriter/guitarist, and sometimes vocalist. I write in many different genres. I use BIAB to help with writing, arranging, and recording songs and as a learning tool.
