This is my first post of 2020. I was going through the different settings of the new 2020 BIAB and found this in the Style Picker. The demo song sounded really nice so I just quickly put some chords in main window and let it go. Really liked the backtrack so I flipped it over to Reaper and blended two different guitar tracks together.

The Harp

Scott, this is pure magic. Beautifully played and the harp just give it that amazing sound. Pure bliss from start to finish, and the guitars coming in around the 3 min mark is exquisite

Good work Scott. Very delicate sounding.
Thanks for sharing.

Scott

A nice soothing and relaxing instrumental. Nice tone and lyrical playing.

Very nice indeed.

Peter

Sounds good, Scott! I especially like the slide.

Beautiful looking 335 BTW!

Somewhere in the clouds between Ireland and Hawaii. Been hoping to hear a Scott C piece for a while. This is beautiful.

Hello Scott,

I didn't think you were such a romantic, doing songs with a harp.
I was thinking of doing such a thing, but now you are ahead of me!
It is a very nice, sweet, somewhat dreamy song. I like that, although it's instrumental...
I was wondering what was on your mind making this melody?

Hans

Neat song, Scott. Musical Journey -- takes flight, circles, lands. OK

Cool! There are some interesting melodic choices there that give it more edge than a typical new-agey sound tune.

Very pretty. Nice guitar licks.

So good to hear from you Graham. I have been missing you lap steel songs . I purchased one after hearing your tunes. Thank so much for checking out the song. Glad you liked it

A beautiful, mesmerizing piece. Your guitar floats nicely with the harp playing.

Scott,

Nice. Guitar sounds good. The backing track make a nice landscape for it. The addition of the slide was nice.

Hi Scott, wrists get too sore playing it now which is quite upsetting

I am a sucker for a harp, too, this was like catnip for me. Your playing fit well and gave it a nice dimension sonically. Good work!

Scott - thaht's lovely.
sweet & precise except for that little spot at 0.41 where the two guitars don't seem to like each other.
Well done playing & blending the guitars. The delay is nice too.

Hi Scott ...

Well, this is a little something different from you ... and a real pleasant listen! The music just seems to float, surrounding our ears with delicate wafting. love the sound of your guitar. Super playing!!!

I played a Cherry red ES-335 for many years ... traded it for an ES-175. Now play a Fender Tele and a Stromberg Monterey. Again. really, really nice song!

Best to you ...

Alan

The harp and other backing is very nice but
the centerpiece of this is your sublime melodic
playing.

You make excellent use of those Gibsons.

Superb!!!

J&B

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




Thanks Peter for checking out the song. I am glad to see the fires down there are getting under control. Hope all is well with you and Leon and your families.

Scott,

That is a stunning piece of work... Just beautiful.

Bob

Thanks Dave Glad you liked this song. I got this ES335 on a trade for my PRS. It has a little bigger body style than I am use to but getting use to it. Has a very warm full sound.



Thanks so much for checking out the song. Lovely comment and it is very much a appreciated.



Thanks Hans for checking out the song. I am subconsciously drawn to these types of songs. The sounds from the amp can be very soothing to the soul..

Scott,
A lovely vehicle to introduce your slide playing; really cool at 3:10 where you the guitars duet .
Cinematic and somehow crossing musical cultures- very good!

Robert

Scott, seems like it's been a while since I've heard something from you! Very nice work that is a pleasant listen! Good to see you at it again! Thanks, Torrey

Very beautiful and relaxing combination of guitar and harp, feels like I'm in some sort of a mindfulness class having a breathing exercise.

Janne

Very pretty tune.

Vic

Scott, this is really super. That is one sweet sounding axe! Your playing technique makes it sing!

Great backing track and slide work also.

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



Thanks David. The licks were developed before the backtrack was developed. Was just fooling around trying to get a handle on the slide. Glad you liked the song



Thanks for listening to the song. Glad you liked it

Thank for checking out the song. Glad you liked it

Hey Scott, very evocative and relaxing tune. Thanks for posting.

Mike B.

Thanks Floyd.

Graham, Tune Monger Thanks for checking out the song.

Ray thanks for checking out the song. Yes I there were a few dissonant areas. These are two completely different tracks and I don't ever play anything the same way twice (memory thing) lol. I tried to blend the two tracks with volume changes to see how well they would sit together. Glad you like the song.

Alan thanks for taking the time to check out the song. Glad you liked the song. I am growing on this 335> I find it a little bigger that I am use to it. Almost switched it out for a 339 but it sounds very good live. Hard to let go.

Thanks Janice and Bud. Glad you liked the song.

Thanks Bob for the awesome comments they are appreciated.

Thanks Robert. Playing the slide everyday trying to get a handle on it. Very different but easier on the hands.

Thanks Torrey Glad you liked the song. Yes finding it difficult to come up with new material. Strange I play everyday and very once and awhile one just pops up I am able to run with it.

Thanks Janne Glad you liked the song.

Thanks Vicarn for checking out the song it is appreciated.

Thanks Mario Glad you like the song. Been really enjoying your pieces as well.

Thanks Mike Glad you liked the song.

Hi, Scott !


This is superb music althrough !
Could come directly out of a film !:))
Congrats Scott !


Cheers
Dani

This is wonderfully hypnotic!! The harp and guitar work together to create a beautiful dream state! Great stuff Scott!! Take care. Greg

There's a great sense of harmony here. I don't even know what genre or style (besides harp which is not a style) to call this, but I really like it. It's not easy to blend those sounds together between harp and guitar, but you've pulled it off wonderfully.

Thanks Dani for checking out the song it is appreciated.



Thanks Greg Glad you liked the song



Thanks Ed Z Glad you liked the song

A genteel romantic composition...
Very classy Scott!

Scott,

Very cool track. Something different but really engaging listen. Nicely done!

All my best,

Deej

This is sheer stunningness. Nothing short of that. Would be completely at home as a piece by a classical composer or something. The "stereo guitar effect" at around the 3 minute mark takes it to a new level, too. Bravo.
