The leaves are falling and it is snowing. Fall is ending here.

This is a quick and dirty that I had fun with. I hope you like it for what it is.

I played a Kramer NightRider guitar -amplitube-amplitube legacy-amps-jazz amp 120-jazz solo

Mario,

Fall is just beginning here, but this music is also very suitable for our fall.
Sweet and soothing.

Mr. "MarioD"...

If "Fall is Ending" was done in a "quick & dirty" manner, then I wonder what it would sound like performed "slow & clean"?

Wow. David Brooks' post on your SoundCloud page about the "nice jazz chords and changes" was right-on. They caused the song to sound as though it was a lonely spirit wandering the city streets at night, searching for something, or someone...

The marimba substituting for the guitar added a taste of exoticism to the overall mood.

An exceedingly soulful listening experience this was, "MarioD". With the posting of "Fall is Ending", you've greatly enriched the catalog of jazz/blues songs that have appeared in this forum.

Quietly,

LOREN

Mario,

Sounding very relaxing on a chilly night here- good groove you have going and a nice mix.


Robert

The guitar tone is perfect for the track. Great substitutions too.
COOL.

Nice, Mario!

Love the melodic, jazzy lines happening on the guitar, and bass sounds good too.

Enjoyed the listen!

Cool tune Mario. Guitar was sounding so good. Lovely relaxing piece of music. Mix was right on.

Mario,

what a treat... Nice chord progressions, very fine guitar workm great guitar sound.

Fall has just begun over here, but that tune fits our current mood as well.

Just good,

Stefan

Mario… You are so inventive, I love your decision on tracks like this... especially the substitutions and switch-outs that you make. Not only do they sound great, but they demonstrate the creative nature of your approach. When I was in tracks like this, I wind up giving myself a kick in the behind, thinking “why the hell didn’t I think of that?!”

Some of the things I really liked in this track were the clanky high hats that you used, also a lot of the repeated phrases, one after the other...I thought that was very effective...I think you used a diminished chord in some of those sequences...I just liked everything about it!

Thanks for saying goodbye to fall with your excellent work!

Mario,

A very nice listen. Nice guitar work... good mix.

Enjoyed.

Mario,
very relaxing tune!
I was trying to imagine, if it was mine, what would I do to enhance it?
I think some "airy" female humming improvisation would work on it very nicely (not whole tune, but some parts).

Thank you for posting!

Misha.

I drive a lot and listen a lot; but because I'm driving can't comment nearly as much as I would like to. That being said, I wanted to tell you something.

I was driving in Iowa as the sun was setting and I listened to this song. It made me aware of and helped capture the moment perfectly. In re-listening to the at different points, I remember that drive. Thanks for the enhancement of a memory. Great songs have a tendency of doing that!

Mario old friend, you're sounding as good as ever on this one.
Must have more of your new age stuff as well buddy

Mario, where I live it is the land of endless summer. I do remember the four seasons and this tune is aptly named. I can almost see those snow flakes and feel the impending winter weather. Some great playing and I seriously enjoyed my listen, Tom

Hello Mario,

There's a certain mystique and friendly haunting in this song. What a great listen! I always love your posts - this one in particular.

I was in Watertown for 2 weeks in January (a long time ago) - talk about cold!!!! That wind blowing of the water and the lake-effect snow was downright freerzing!

Stay warm!

Alan

Mario,

A really good composition full of very nice playing and interesting choices.
Excellent.

Peter

Mario, you have a real knack for making 'visuals inducing' tracks, and this is no exception.
Nicely put together and suitably atmospheric.


John

Wow - nice job Mario, you certainly captured a wintery sound on this one The main instruments sound so gentle and soft, yes the slightly aggressive percussion swaying in and out makes it really makes it flow in a unique and enticing way.

I found it to be a really inviting and unique listen - thanks for sharing!

This composition seems pretty polished for a "quick and dirty" piece... enjoyed it very much.

hey Mario great job on this everything match well nice chops thanks for sharing eric

Mario,

As with all your works, after I clicked the Soundcloud link, I sat back in my chair with my eyes closed and let your music take me on a scenic tour. You are very skillful when it comes to creating pastoral music that resonates with imagery. As I listened to this composition, pictures unfolded in my mind like clouds drifting. Thank you for the journey!

All the best,
Noel

Sounds so nice

enjoyed your guitar very much

Kenny

I would like to thank everyone who listened and commented on this song. I would liked to have thanked each individually but life has been getting in the way.

Again thanx to all for those very nice comments.

Cool groove and WONDERFUL playing!! Initially, it has a little bit of Light My Fire groove, and then goes semi reggae. Very interesting and engaging tune. Love it!! Take care. Greg

Mario,

This is excellent... Love the drums and bass!. A very cool piece.

Bob
