I think its a very well structured progression and melody... this has an an arrangement that has seemless moments of a instrumental exchanges. Very much enjoyed this....good job Sergio.... Merry Christmas to you as well

Love the smooth sound and feel, beautiful

maybe a little Carlos inspired

very nice guitar sound and melody

I really like this one

enjoyed the listen,

Merry Christmas,

Kenny

Great job on this Sergio! The guitar and horn play off of each other nicely! Your guitar tone reminds me off Carlos Santana's sound from his "Black Magic Woman" days! Thanks, Torrey

I got the Santana vibe to Sergio. Very cool tune. So glad to hear you playing again. Very well done. Guitar has never sounded better...

Hi, Sergio !

Absolutely superb music Sergio !
Loved it from the first bar !!:))
Feels like being in some smoky café
in the Caribbean dancing with your
loved one in your arms !:))

Romantic !!

Merry Holidays to you Sergio !

Cheers
Dani

Sergio,

Very nice. An excellent listen.

The backing tracks make a perfect bed for your guitar playing - super tone on this - and nice melodic playing.

Well done. One of your best, I think.

Merry Christmas,

fj

Sergio,

The latin style suits your melodic playing very well here - very nice tone as always and the horns are a perfect addition.
A danceable Christmas tune- wonderful!

Robert

Sergio,

This is excellent - love the bossa style with your own unique guitar track.

Great mix as well.

Bob

Nice and pleasant tune. Very well done!

Merry Christmas!

a very enjoyable song, and the trumpet when it shows up is tantalizing.

Outstanding...and, yes, the Carlos feel is definitely there.

Great playing, tone, mix and the arrangement is perfect for the song.

Well done and Happy Holidays!!!!

Sergio

Very tasty melodic playing and a nice backing.
Well done.

Peter

Really enjoyed listening to this track... Loved the Rhythm Section and the tone of your guitar playing... Excellent listen!

My only suggestion for improving this has nothing to do with your contributions... I wish that the muted trumpet RealTracks were more active and imaginative with fuller phrasing... Maybe it's there and I've just never found it... but that's the only thing I can think of that could improve this.

Well done!

Ciao, Sergio,

it's always hard to find words that haven't been said before, when you're reviewing a post belatedly...

Yes, it's a very enjoyable song to listen to, and of course the Santana feel peeps around the corner. But just a bit, because the song has so much pure 'Sergio' in it.

Very well done, I like it a lot.

Take care,

Stefan

Beautiful melody with nice melancholy chording. Great lush Latin backing. Happy New Year 2019!

Janne

I almost missed this one...
I really the Latin vibe you've given this Christmas composition.
Very relaxing & pleasing to the ear.
Merry 7th Day of Christmas!

Mr. Guarneri...

"La Melodia Navidena" is such an achingly "blue" and darkly romantic composition that it defies the tradition of Christmas music. And yet, the RealTrack style you employed -- _SURDINA.STY -- almost lifts the song out of the blue with its low-key "cha-cha-cha" rhythm that invites dancers to express themselves with movement, but sadly, not touching each other, like living sculptures. It reminds me of "source" music from the melancholy soundtracks of classic Italian films such as "La Dolce Vita". Your guitar work brims over with emotion, which made your song quite a dramatic listening experience.

Felice Anno Nuovo, Mr. Guarneri! I look forward to your song posts in 2019.

Sincerely,

LOREN

Many thanks for comment.
Sergio

Many thanks Kenny. I'm so glad you feel the Santana's sound.
Sergio

thanks for kind comment.
Sergio

Hey Sergio,

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

I really like this tone. As others have stated, very Carlos Santana. Great job!
