FEELS LIKE LOVE

By David Snyder

https://soundcloud.com/secret-love-rituals/feels-like-love

This is another song in the genre of “soothing acoustic instrumental.”

No other purpose except that I like the sound of wood, and I am into the process of melodic improvisation. I like see where the guitar takes me—follow it, not lead it, so to speak. If this is relaxing, or moving in any way, then I feel the mission has been accomplished.

Hope you like it. I am putting these on their own channel now because I might do an album of these as some have suggested, or even requested.

Mission accomplished David!
It's a really lovely piece that carries the listener along to a nice place!
Love the recorded sound of the guitar...is it miced or direct?
You keep cranking these tunes out so fast I can't hardly keep up, much less come up with my own stuff! Take care, TB

Thanks Torrey!

Good question. It is an Ibanez cutaway acoustic jazz guitar. I love it. The tone is incredible and it is plugged in.

I love the sound of this thing direct. Wouldn't trade it for the world. I am holding it in the picture on my other "2024" songs channel. (I was also picking it on the bluegrass song.)

Yes, I do seem to be writing a lot these days, but I do practice my classical hardcore stuff a few hours each day, so I feel I deserve to give myself a break and jam.

Yes, taking a backseat while creating often makes music that even surprises the creator in its goodness. No surprise here, David. I followed your "lead" and enjoyed every note. Quite relaxed now. Thank you. Looking forward to that album and I'd like to pre-order one.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Definitely have some real "Acoustic Alchemy" going on there, David. Very cool tune with a catchy theme and quite a few interesting variations on that theme. Nice example of the soothing sounds produced by strings and wood. Nicely done!

David, I think you showed your true self on this one. You are one fantastic musician.
Super guitar chops.
Super backing tracks.
Super mix.
You should do more instrumentals.
Super song!

David, I would say mission accomplished, for me songs like yours are perfect for relaxing.
And I love the sound you get out of that wooden thing with a hole in it.
Good stuff!

David ...

Mission accomplished! Everything sounds wonderful. Your fretwork is outstanding and the simple backing tracks are perfect in support. It was more than a pleasure to listen to - for me it was also inspirational.

Love how you threw that surprising diminished chord in there!

Totally enjoyed my listen!
Best to you & yours,

Alan

A relaxing and soothing piece, but there's not enough variation in the chord structure for me to stay engaged.

#69: Bring consciousness to it.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

MR. Snyder...

Soothing...yes!

Nice job on the acoustic. You explored interesting places and kept them all within reach.
That is an amazing plugged-in sound!
The whole mix is very clean, clear, crisp (in a good way).

Thanks DC!

Yes that is exactly what I was striving for DC, and it is amazing how close you can get to some of these familiar sounds with the help of band in a box, whereas before the chemistry was always somewhat elusive on sounds like Acoustic Alchemy.

But not anymore!!

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
