The name of the song came about by accident. I started this song back in mid March and it has taken this long to finish it. After I got the chord structure and tempo down to a bit of searching to find a style that seemed to make sense. Well I had to save it and could not come up with a name I saved it as unknown. Coming up with a melody was very difficult. Nothing seemed to work. After six weeks this was the result. Was it Van Gogh who cut off an ear trying to find inspiration lol. Hope you like it.

hi scott nice peace guitar tone is perfect thanks for sharing eric

Scott,

I love the fragility of this song. Very beautiful and moving...

Are you playing the Gretsch for this piece? Great tone.

Bob

I used to do a lot of instrumentals back in the day, and coming up with a good melody was almost always a struggle, so I understand your pain!

You pulled it off though, sounds good, and nice tone too.

Track sounds good too, Oohs-Aahs worked well I thought.

Very nice, Scott, I always enjoy hearing your work.

Scott, I can see this as a background piece for TV or a movie. Nice backing and the oohs ahhs really add a nice texture. Great little melody, perfect for the song. Good job, Tom

Scott,
Very mysterious and delicate. Your struggles have been rewarded with a fine melody.I agree with Tom on the cinematic qualities.
Well done!

Robert

Thanks Eric Glad you liked the song

Starting off, I liked the bell-like first high notes..enjoyed your nice clear playing.
Thanks for this pleasant, peaceful instrumental!

Cool Melody Scott!

I'm earing you on this one Scott. Love the delicate guitar work.Rob

Scott,
Very pretty - the hard work paid off.
Nice tone and playing throughout.

Peter

Scott,

A good listen. Enjoyed it.

Nice background choices and a good mix. A pleasant melody, nice playing...

Fantastic work with the the choir and guitars! I found this very easy to listen to. Great progression too. Well done!

Thank Bob Glad you liked the song. Yes I am playing my Gretsch 6128 on this on through a Garnet Amp. I used Garnet Amps when I was a kid. They were made in Winnepeg Canada in the late 60's early 70's



Thanks Dave So glad you liked the song..



Wow thanks Tom. I have submitted a couple of instrumentals and Robert and I have submitted a couple of our songs to Soundcloud with no luck. Mind you with the thousands of people submitting to Songtradr the songs would have to be pretty special to get notices. Fun dreaming tho...

Thanks Robert Glad you liked how it turned out.



Thanks for checking out the song. Glad you like the tone. My Gretsch is my only Guitar that has the bell like tone on the high notes. Is so different from the Fenders and Gibsons..



Thanks Tommy Glad you liked the tune...



Thanks Rob Glad you liked the song.

Hello, Scott

This is a very peaceful tune.
As Robert said, very mysterious and delicate.
And I agree with Bob.
I also love the fragility of this song. Very beautiful and moving...
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Shigeki Adachi

Scott - a lovely use of a wonderful guitar & amp combo.
Lots of space in the arrangement for the guitar melody.
Would you explain you amp/mic set up please?

Thanks Peter Sometimes the melodies just seem to come from out of the air and sometimes its like fumbling around in the dark...

Beautiful song and sound
a super melody in it.

The guitar tone is fantastic.

May be your best between other great ones.

Sergio

We agree with those who mentioned the cinematic qualities. It has a flow that would seem to work well for a lof of film or tv as it brings up lots of different images to us.

Beyond all that it's simply a nice, well performed and thoroughly pleasing production.

Glad you didn't abandon it!

J&B

Scott, this is a fun song to listen to. I enjoy the way you used the background vocals behind the guitar. By the way, that is a nice looking guitar icon you have on SoundCloud!

Thanks Floyd for checking out the song. Glad you liked it



Thanks Joe.It is amazing how well done the vocal real tracks are done. They seem just to drop in and sound so good...



Thanks Shigeki Really glad you like the song. Thanks for checking it out



Thanks Rayc for checking out the song. I use a usb mic for recording. I get a bit of latency with it. I use Reaper to adjust the timing to the backtrack. The amp I used for this song is a late 60's hand wired Garnet Sessionman...

Thanks Sergio Glad you liked the song

I thoroughly enjoyed this I love how gentle and fragile this sounds. It is almost lullaby-esque, but the guitars and pulsing beat behind it really push it to be much more. The way the guitar works with those quiet choirs in the background gives it an otherworldly quality.

Great work - thanks for sharing!

Sweet tune Scott!! Nicely played, and very enjoyable!! Take care. Greg

Thanks so much Janice and Bud for the awesome comments. After it was completed I did feel ok about the song. Will put it in the daily jam rotation.

Very smooth melody, so soothing. The mix is superb as well. Love the vocal harmony in the background. I can listen to this before I go to sleep.

Wow Scott,

I never heard a Gretsch guitar being used this way (or maybe I missed something, thought it was a typical Rock'n Roll guitar).

BEAUTIFUL!

Rob

Pretty song Scott! The chord structure is really good as well your tone! Thanks, Torrey

Thanks Jim for checking out the song and commenting. The new ohhs and ahhs tracks are so well done. There is definitely some secret sauce in how BIAB developers get them to works so well. Thanks for the comment on the guitar icon on soundcloud. This Gretsch has become a favorite of late.

Thanks Derek Glad you liked the song. I tend to gravitate to these types of song. I find the very peaceful to play. Mind you this was a bit of a beast creating I have warmed up to it...

Thanks so much for checking out the song. Glad you liked the mix. That is a whole different thing to learn besides playing the song.



Thanks Rob This is a small body Gretsch similar to the one George Harrison used during the early years of the Beatles. The Duojet has a very unique sound.



Thanks Torrey Glad you liked the song

Hi Scott. Lovely tune and melody. Really nice guitar work.

I personally didn't care for the backing oos. Maybe try substituting a horn pad or something. And have the pad drop out at times.

But I like the tune and everything you've done with the guitar.

Peace,

Ian

Very mellow! I'm not used to hearing such "structured" playing from a lead guitar.

Scott you made me smile with the behind the scenes title story.
Lovely tone and expression in your playing and melody on top of a really nice arrangement with the ethereal bgvs.

Beautiful piece indeed! Thanks for posting.

Mike B.

Thanks Ian for checking out the song. Thanks for commenting on the ohs and ahhs.. This software is packed with so many cool features Allot of my music is experimental . Checkout the song if Roberts it has a digeroo in it

Very nice peaceful tune.

Thanks David for checking out the song. I appreciate it.



Thanks so much Josie for having a listen. Means allot to me. Glad you liked it..



Thanks Mike Glad you liked the song.
