Eric,
neat tune. There is Progressive Rock, this must be a Progressive Fusion. Nice playing! Complex stuff, but listens very well. Good mix. Thank you for sharing.

Hi Eric,

You did a good job on this song!
I listened with interest to your guitar playing. The sound of it, or the amp setting, is very nice.
I liked your staccato way of playing that guitar, but sometimes I lost the melody a bit.
But liked the title too :-))

Have a nice 2022!
Hans

Eric

Some nice sophisticated playing and arranging. Very interesting chord changes.

Nice playing as usual in your very recognizable style.

Good work.

Hello, 'F.M.M.'...

I was motivated to listen this particular song of yours, 'Praise for Amanda', because I just happen to know a woman who has that name, and just for fun, I wanted to hear how you felt about her, musically speaking, that is smile !!!

Based on your performance, I would say that Amanda is a 'free spirit' because your chord progressions sound so liberated and unexpected. It's like listening to a love poem as your guitar sings and shouts out your praise of her. She must be a lovely, lovable and exciting lady, for sure smile.

Keep on talkin' the talk and walkin' the walk with that joyful-sounding 'axe' of yours !!!

Good backing tracks, even better guitar playing! Smooth, melodic ideas that move the song forward.

Great phrasing and tone!

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