Hi Scott.

This is really beautiful. I love the tone of your guitar, and the backing band that you've used is absolutely superb. And to top it all off, you playing is smooth and very, very lyrical. I thoroughly enjoyed the journey. It's a perfect fit for a somewhat drizzly kind of autumn day here in Melbourne right now.

This is superb, Scott. The effect of pivoting a familiar melody into new directions that turn out to be the same familiar melody is very cool. Just a wonderful composition.

LOVE your tone and touch throughout, and your phrasing is excellent. But then it always is. smile

Nice backing tracks, mix and master, too.

Very twinkly.

This is good. The guitar tone works and I liked how you changed keys throughout.

What a pretty sound. Like something a child would sleep to.
Excellent.
