Haven't created a new song for awhile as I had been revisiting and remixing my older songs. So decided to have a go at a new one.

I found this when auditioning styles for the new chord progressions. It is the Joni style. It was an older style and most of the tracks were midi. I took the midi tracks and used the BBC and Labs plugins on the midi files. I used some a couple of different Real Drum tracks and Acoustic Real tracks. Flipped the key of the song a couple of times and add this melody.

Hans had mentioned he had used a talk box on one of his songs so I found a talking wah effect on one of my H9's and used it with my lap steel.

Came out good, Scott.

Hi Scott,

Thanks for the listen.

You have some very tasty guitar sounds on this song plus a haunting melody.

Well done.

Best Regards
Nigel

Thanks for a great instrumental - more in my line of music - thanks.

I instantly started tapping my toes to the beat. This could be a soundtrack to an old Clint Eastwood spaghetti western. Appropriately dark guitar playing. I like it. Nice style the band churned up.

Nice one Scott,
your trade mark fluid melodies and playing are at the fore.

Hi Scott,

I miss that Talk box...

But seriously, since I know all about movies, I agree with Jptjptjpt your song could be a soundtrack in a (remake of old) Clint Eastwood movie.
You played that lead guitar so well in it. There comes a day we both make a song!
But yours I enjoyed!

Hans

Scott.
lovely guitar tones and nice sound pictures.

if i can make one comment, from a production standpoint..
the way i hear it is i hear this genre very very light on the drums.
imho it will stand on its own EXTREMELY WELL with subtle/occasional drum strikes...
cos its tres en francais "cinematique".
maybe just little drum pictures here and there.
you obviously have a great talent for instrumentals...

and i would love to hear what you might do with shadows style instrumentals.

great effort. bestest

Ah, back when I was homeless I only had a bass, a stereo, and 6 albums --3 Joni Mitchell and 3 Harry Nilsson. Man, it would've been great to have you visit. Such amazing tone and taste in your playing. Beautiful melodies soaring seamlessly in and around the music. Very creative and engaging.

Scott,

Nice instrumental. Your guitar sounds good...well played, crisp and clean...

Good mix.

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



Thanks allot Nigel. Glad you liked the song...

Okay, that's a tease. Which albums?

Haha. Clouds, Song To A Seagull and Ladies Of The Canyon --that's all she had then. Harry's were Harry, Aerial Ballet and Nilsson Sings Newman. Many fun stories from back then.

You've excellent taste in Nilsson based on those three. I have and love them NSN is sublime...it's the one that appears in my mind most often of the many HN LPs.

Nicely done, Scott!

Love the melody and tone you used. Lap steel sounds good too, very creative the way you used it.

Enjoyed

Nice instrumental Scott! The guitar sounds great as usual! Thanks, Torrey

Scott

Cool and smooth instrumental. Slick guitar work, as always. Real engaging composition. Well done!

All my best to you,

Deej

Hi Scott.

Another fine creation to add to your songbook.

I love the tone of your guitar and your playing is immensely lyrical. It's so easy to sit back and listen to this.

I enjoyed letting your music create images in my mind.

Thank you,
Noel

Scott,

This is beautiful... Excellent playing and mix. Lovely melody.

Bob

Thanks for checking out the song. Appreciate the comments.



Glad you liked the song.



Thanks Ray for checking out the song. Appreciate the comments. Glad you liked it.

A gentle yet energetic melody. Very soothing.

Excellent guitar work!

This is probably inaccurate, and maybe even inappropriate, but this had a Native American kind of vibe to it. Very nice changes in the rhythm section and a floaty lead to glue it all together. I really enjoyed listening.

Thanks Dave for checking out the song. Really appreciate the comments. Glad you liked it.



Thanks Torrey Glad you liked the song.

Great!
Sounds like a movie score for a modern western.

I like it.

Hi Scott,

Sometimes you have to reach back into the bag! I haven't heard this song before if you posted it when you first did it. But you've really made the guitar sing! I hear shades of Dire Straits (Mark Knopfler) at times, kind of reminiscent of Brothers in Arms. Thanks for posting, I enjoyed the listen!

Scott

Very nice. Pretty playing throughout, with your trademark sound and a nice balance of instruments.

Good work.

Peter

Thanks so much for the awesome comments Noel. Really appreciated them.



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

Full of atmosphere. Great tone.

Vic

Scott,
nice progression. Sweet guitar playing. Quite unique overall sound. Listens well.
Thank you for sharing.

Misha.

Nice instrumental, enjoyed listening to it.

Cap'n beat us to it. This is very cinematic and would be a great tune
for the film sync libraries.

Your mesmerizing guitar (melody and tone) and arrangement opens up images of
beautiful far reaching vistas. Kinds zooms the listener across the landscape.

Well performed and produced!

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



Thank you Tangmo for checking out the song. So glad to hear from you. I hope all is well in your neck of the woods. Glad you liked the song..



Thanks Moto for checking out the song. Really glad to hear from you. Glad you liked the song as well..

I'm more than a bit late to the party.

Good melodic guitar lead kept the song interesting. The drums went in unexpected directions, but - to my surprise - it worked. Parts were definitely cinematic.

Thanks Bawb for checking out the song. This is a new song. For the last year I have been working on remixes of old songs and collaborations. Decided to see if I could come out with some new melodies. Glad you liked it.



Thanks Peter Appreciate you checking out the song. Glad you liked it.

Scott,

Great tone!
Your characteristic guitar sound with melancholy is fully open.
It's always beautiful to listen to.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Thanks TM Glad you liked it.

Thanks Janice and Bud for checking out the song. Very much appreciate the lovely comments.



Thanks David for checking out the song. The drums were very much an experiment as there were not real drum tracks for this style. Glad you liked the song.



Thank you Tyden for checking out my song. Really appreciate the comments and really glad you liked it..

I almost missed this one and I'm glad that I didn't miss it!

Scott, you make that axe talk! Super clean tone and outstanding chops. Super mix and backing tracks.


Loved it!

Once again, another cool song. It has a feel like you are out in the open to me. I'll be listening to several more times for sure.

Thanks Shigeki Good to hear from you. Glad you liked the song.



Thanks Mario for the very gracious comments. I really appreciate them. Glad you liked the song.



Thanks for checking on the song. Been working hard on my mixes. Glad you liked it.

Nice tune Scott, I thought it sounded somewhat like a movie score. Well done!
