In A MoodI have half a dozen, or so, "quick hit" songs I cobbled together between Di's medication dosages anbd treatments over the past two weeks. Each was put together with less than five total hours invested in their creation and publication. This is the last one I did - day before yesterday between 1:00pm and 5:30pm (a twenty-minute break in the middle of the process to give Di medication). The style and individual track selection went pretty quickly - about an hour and a half. I already had the basic chord pattern determined in my mind. So the rest of the time was devoted to fine tuning and then posting to Soundclick. The "lead" guitar is actually a rhythm track, but it had just enough melody in it for my intended purpose. My goal was not to create a memroable melody - rather, it was to create a mood to get lost in. That's why it's not more forward in the mix. I wanted it to gently "float" slightly above the other tracks. The hoped for goal is to put the listner in a mood that reflects general satisfaction in life and comfort in self-worth. Hopefully, I achieved that. Thanks for listening abnd commenting, if you do. I appreciate it very much.

Hi Alan,
Good idea using an acoustic rhythm Real Track as the lead instrument.

Hi Alan,
Yes, you were in a creative mood the day you made this song!
Nice chord progression in a very moody song.
I liked that acoustic lead guitar a lot. So nice to listen to.
The only thing I can think of, it was much to short. Only 2:44.
I think 5 minutes were better...
I was amazed to read how quickly you made this song. And that you had the chord pattern already in your head!
Very, very good.
Send my love to Di if possible,
Hans

Alan,
A really nice listen.
Excellent mix.
This has a James Taylor vibe.
(That GroovinFolk RT does a great job of providing that...)

Your vision, the choice of RT's and the mix all set the described mood most excellently.
The "lead" guitar was a great choice.
Well done RT Master!

I always enjoy your chord progressions, and this is no exception, lovely and original. And it's amazing how that rhythm guitar interprets the chords so well, like a real guitarist. The guitar is also mixed perfectly above the band, floats gently just like you wanted. The rest of the band supports beautifully that satisfaction mood. Comfortable and cozy are words that come to my mind while listening.
