The basic sound track is BB for this guitar tune and I play the lead guitar.

I've been a lead guitarist and singer for half a century, and composing guitar instrumentals is one of my 'specialties'. I had a summer hit in Europe with my "Lonely Seagull" in 1982. I would upload it, but BB was not involved.

Til Eternity:


I began in 1970 with a 7 piece dance band. I had other bands, but my most successful one was "The four Windows", a 4 piece guitar band. Many concerts, TV shows, Record contract with EMI and a guitar hit in 1982 in Europe with my "Lonely Seagull".

Hey this is really cool and welcome to the forum.

I am not a moderator or anything, just a regular, but thought I would give a friendly tip on etiquette.

Most people post a song a week at most and then take some time to comment on others. Posting five or six songs a day is usually not encouraged and sometimes called song dumping.

If you post less and join the discussions by listening to others you will get way more support.

Once again, welcome to the forum.

Wolf, nice song, and tastefully played. The backing track has an old school MIDI sound to my ears, which is a cool throwback.

Congratulations on a long and successful music career!

FWIW, posting guidelines and FAQs are at the top of the User Showcase forum. They suggest posting the BiaB tracks you used, among other tips.

Thank you so much, Ron. Yeah, I guess I got lucky with my musical career, considering the millions of musician, some of which are much better then me, who never made it out of the garage, symbolically speaking.

Oh, yeah, Wolfgang. This is superb, but you don't need me to tell you. I like your choice of bass, too. Fine composition and masterful playing. Much enjoued. Thanks for sharing.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Hi, Wolfgang.

I enjoyed the song - as Ron said, a bit of a throwback feel, which is good.

Nice guitar work, too! smile
