Some of the percussive accents from the drums etc. get in the way but, unless they're "stems" that's really hard to address, don't bury the fine playing.
I enjoyed this one too. Thanks, ray. It was a pretty quick mix, not a lot attention to the drums. Hi, floyd jane. Yep, that's different, all right. The guitar fits - nothing flashy, just doing what's called for by the song. You're proving to be a man of many genres!  Appreciate that, David. Nice, tasteful playing and nice tone too.
Enjoyed! All I could ask for. Thanks, Dave...

Hey floyd. My gosh! My ears and my brain find this really pleasurable to listen to. "Simple easy listening" has always been my favourite genre! Your second-ever instrumental is as worthy an instrumental as I've ever listened to. As you would know, there was a time when instrumentals were Top-40 material. It's a great loss to music that these days that's rarely the case. It's refreshing to sit back and relax to your playing Loved it! --Noel

We love a bossa and you nailed the groove.
Janice said it was nice and slinky,
She felt like half closing her eyes and singing along in a Peggy Lee style. 😊
All meaning cool guitar chops/tone, session guys and mix.
Keep ‘em coming mr jane.
Fun!

Nice island sounding tune.
One thing to be aware of. The guitar and piano are competing for the same sonic space. Use EQ and levels to give them their own space and it will be easier to hear the guitar. I'd probably have used levels to bring the guitar a bit more to the front since it's the main thing you want us to hear. Dropping the piano out totally in places would make it really shine and be clean at the same time. But... hey I know you already know that.
Edit: I really need to do some noodling too. It's been way too long. Just playing for pure enjoyment. Thanks for reminding me about that. Thanks, Herb Stylistically _absolutely_ not my thing, but as I wrote in my response to your first instrumental, you don't show off, you do what the song needs and no more. That's a lesson most people never learn ![[Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/images/icons/default/thumbs_up.gif) Nice of you to say,, Brian... Really nice instrumental. I began imagining the sea due to the title, but as the tune got going I was imagining happy yachting under the stars. Thanks, Chay....

Wow, Floyd, you show talent wherever you look. My first gig in'65 was as a lead guitarist. Someone realized I just played bass patterns for my solos, and sold me my first bass. You've been playing like what... a month or two, and you're already playing Bossa. And not just ike some wannabee, but with authority. Nothing extrememtly difficult perhaps, but everything so well placed with a good feeling. Much appreciated, Marty. Hi Floyd,
Beautiful spacing of instruments. Bass well present, beautiful rhythm. For an instrumental it is rather a great success. As the piece goes on we get more and more hooked. It is a good sign. Bravo ! Thanks, Paul. Floyd, some clean and very tasty chops in this song.
Super groove and mix.
Keep on picking and grinning. Thanks, Mario! Floyd,
Another cool instrumental . . . really smooth sounding lead . . . and of course the overall production is as crisp and clear as it should be. Nicely done. Totally captures the title of the song!
Deej Thaks, Deej.

The appearance of Floyd's emerging guitar skills is a welcome addition to the forum. Not a style that I would expect, but it is certainly enjoyable. Keep plucking!

floyd,
It's a bit lonely that your vocals aren't there, but it's a fun instrumental song.
It's a mix of Latin, bossa nova, and a little bit of rock, and so cool.
It's nice to listen to your instrumentals sometimes.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.

Smooooooth, Floyd! Very peaceful to be sure.
I always thought of you as a lyricist and melodist only; didn't realize you were a natural guitar picker as well.
Na zdrowie!

Some really sweet licks in here man. Kinda Jimmy Buffet live in a way.
Sounds like you are having fun. Great to hear you play! Thanks, David. Bossa is a style that I like a lot and your song is very nice. Bravo

Kind of missed your amazing vocals, but it was a good listen. Could you sing a bossa nova? That would be something to hear! I imagine you could sing anything but opera if you gave it a shot. Nice guitar work, I didn't have any problem hearing it against the piano.

Very cool groove Floyd. Nothing better than putting on a loop and just jamming away. Your riffs and licks fit perfectly into the groove. Really nice listen..
