Generally chord progressions like this (descending lines and common notes - the F-F-F) sound great, think Lay Lady Lay, I Fooled Around and Fell in Love, etc.

Regardless of that this is one outstanding song and your best to date IMHO. I love songs like this and man you took it to a whole new level. Everything about this is outstanding, a true masterpiece.

Loved it.

PS - although this song did not need drums if you run into problems in the future Steve Slate's SSD-5 has a feature where you drag in an audio file and it will try to match it with drum possibilities. I have tried it and it works really well.
Thanks for your detailed explanation, Mario!
I guess that's the reason why I played this progression, I love descending bass lines and use them a lot in my songs.

And another “thank you” for your really kind words.
Much appreciated!

Making bits and bytes sound good...
