Here is one of my first stabs at a song which I did about 6 years ago. I had just started playing again after a 40 year hiatus.

I was wanting to do a song for my grand daughters which were eleven and nine at the time. They are now 17 and 15 have grown from beautiful young girls to beautiful young ladies.

My original files were a mess so I redid the back track and rerecorded the melody. Hope you like it.

Hi Scott thanks for sharing this with us! This has a very uplifting and gentle vibe I quite enjoyed. Great progression too. Well done!

Very nice, Scott!

As always I'm a fan of your melodies and tone. You have your own style and sound, and that is a good thing!

Scott,

The melody is really beautiful and fluid... Love the backing tracks and mix.

Bob

Scott, I really like this track! Gentle, easy flowing— beautifully; what great gift for your grandbabies! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Joe for checking out the song I appreciate it.

Scott,

A sweet flow to the melody... as befits a lullaby.I enjoy the cascading way you send out the notes. That background synth was a nice touch.
I guess we should thank those girls for being a reason you felt like playing again!

Robert

Not only do I agree with the sweet gentle melody and chord progression comments I will add that I love your guitar tone and your ability to make that axe sing!

This song had a very lovely flow to it. I don't think I could personally use this song as one that I would fall asleep to, but then again I am a super light sleeper! But I can definitely hear the sort of calming/relaxing effects this song could have on someone while they're lying in bed waiting to doze off.

Thanks for sharing.

Scott

Almost a "signature" tune and sound with some of your nice lyrical phrasing.
Very enjoyable piece.

Peter

Scott,

What a great tone. You grabbed hold of me the minute Soundcloud started playing and carried me along all the way. I enjoyed my journey and where the images you inspired took me. Such a special gift for your granddaughters and something that they can treasure for a lifetime.

All the best,
Noel

Scott,

Nicely done. As Peter said a "signature sound".

Good backing and well mixed. Nice pickin'.

Thanks Dave. Really glad you like the song. I am a huge fan of your music as well. You get some incredible sounds out of that Strat...

Those grandchildren have a talented grandfather!

As we mentioned at SC your tone and playing on this are golden.

And the above is supported by a fine mix.

Superb!

J&B

Hello, Scott

Yes, this is your "signature sound".
Very sweet and gentle.
And your guitar is smooth enough not to feel a blank for 40 years.
This tune is exactly a great gift for your grand daughters.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

This is gorgeous Scott Extremely pretty, and the way you're playing your guitar is almost dream-like. The tone and progressions used are stunning. I could listen to this all day. The minor switch ups keep it interesting, and the backing tracks are heavenly.

Thanks Ed for checking out the song. Really glad you liked it.



Thanks Graham Really glad you liked the song. I must tell you, your lapsteel got me really interested in the instrument. Purchased on the other day and am learning how the play it. It is sure a different beast that the guitar. Will be awhile before it makes its debut on the forum :-). Tom Adams play a pedal steel as well as a pretty awesome guitar. I thought about that one but it seemed to be a bit intimidating. The lap steel think will be a good start..

Nice! I sure do love to hear you play the guitar Scott!



But, wait. 40 year hiatus?????

Huh?

What was up with that dude??????

Did you pitch a Tom Petty fit and smash your guitar against a wall?

I need to hear the back story on this!!!!

Lol The playing hiatus came about by hitting the end of the school year and graduation. The band broke up and everyone was moving to the big city. (Winnipeg).. A new job then apartment then kids, diapers, new cars, new houses. The music was pretty much got left behind until life slowed up enough to pick up the music again..

Nice guitar work, and arrangement.

Oh wow Scott! What's not to like. Beautiful song.

Mike B.

Thanks for checking out the song it is appreciated.



Thanks Mike glad you like the song.

Very pretty Scott!! Nice tone and tasty playing!! Take care. Greg
