What a lovely, relaxing a dreamy piece. Loved the call and response guitars.

That's how you get it done Scott! When you're in a dry spell, take a negative and turn it into a positive! A nice dreamy piece with a great guitar sound! Thanks, Torrey

Hi Scott,

I was just thinking the other day that it's been a while since you uploaded a new one, and then here it is!

I know what you mean, I used to do lots of instrumentals back in the day and it can be tough sometimes to come up with a theme so that it's a true instrumental and not just a guitar jam.

You did the job with this one though, I like what you did. The guitar in the song pic looks cool, is the top neck a 12 string? Can't quite make it out from the picture.

Anyway, this sounds good to me!

Well the struggle certainly yielded an outstanding moody piece.

The 12 string is very cool.

We love the cinematic relaxing feel of this and, of course, the excellent playing and mix.

Nice!!!!

Scott,

If you struggled to get here, it does not show. You made it seem effortless. Smooth.

The guitars have a nice tone. Well played. The backing BAND is nicely mixed.

A really nice piece. Enjoyable listen. Cool looking guitar!!

I couldn't tell you struggled with this song at all. This song was very lovely and had a nice, soft, gentle, sound to it but was still impactful.

Thanks for sharing!


Cheers,
Ember

A beautiful composition...
So smooth...
So relaxing...
Cinematic & mysterious with guitars seemingly talking to each other...
Calling & answering...
Very nicely done...

Scott,
Struggle never ends smile Sometimes it's the only way!
I believe it was worth it. Nice tune and beautiful guitar playing! It is begging for lyrics!

P.S. Is the double neck guitar pictured on soundcloud is the one you mentioned in your post?

Thank you for sharing!

Misha.

Thanks for the huge emotional uplift Torrey. I was sitting on the fence on this one. Was at the place where may I would just continue to listen to all the cool songs on the forum support everyone that way. But I kept going back to it and glad I did. Makes me want to start another...

Thanks so my Dave I do appreciate your comments. Yes I used the guitar on one of the rhythm tracks. I used the twelve string for it. It is quite a beast. It is a custom build from a fellow here in Edmonton. Always wanted on since I saw Jimmy Pages and Don Felders Gibson. The fellow did a hippy theme. He named the guitar "Milto" after Milton Berle as the top is made with a Burle wood.

The guitar work is mesmerizing. This has a gentle, surf-like quality. Overall, a very ear-pleasing composition.

Nice work on this! I wouldn't have known the struggle behind this if you hadn't said so, to be honest. Some really lovely progressions here, and nice and easy on the ears. Easy top bob your head to and relax while listening.

Thanks for sharing smile

Hi Scott,

I don't think you have to struggle so much. Hearing your song it didn't sound like a struggle to me.
As I replied on your Soundcloudsite I wish I could play that leadguitar like you. Seemingly without any effort whatsoever.
And the sound is great.
Would you like to make a Metal-song with me ;-)

Thanks Scott
Hans

Hi Scott,

Like those above me, I really enjoyed the relaxed and calm musical journey that you composed. I loved how you used delay on the lead to enhance the moodiness of the music. It was very effective.

It's two thumbs up from me!

All the best,
Noel

Hey Scott, what a marvelous song I might say! I found this very easy to listen and I dig the overall timbres. Thoroughly enjoyed the pedal steel to harmonize everything. Well done!

Joe
