Thanks, Dave. According to my other half, it needs lyrics. Easier said than done

Your melodic picking sounds mighty fine with a nice bit of nostalgia mixed in.

Thanks, OM.
Bluegrass isn't my favourite genre either (though I do admire the skill of those who do it well) but there are times when I feel like a good old "knees-up" (which I believe our American cousins call a "hoedown").

A very nicely put together instrumental. Quite enjoyable. I personally didn't mind that it was presented as an instrumental

Hello Brian
Recording acoustic guitars is really not easy.
But you can probably be given all kinds of guitars.
You always make them sound good
Very nice song with excellent guitar work and sound
Great job Brian
Many greetings
Andi ;-)

Excellent take with the BiaB crew. Your talented playing blends perfectly, Ghost gum. An interesting and entertaining mix. Loved your choice of instruments.

Your guitars sound great, love the melody you came up with. The rest of the band sounds pretty good too!
And you held my interest throughout the piece, not so easy to do with an instrumental.
Well done!

Hi Ghostgum,
It is a composition very rich in instruments and melodic variations. Each instrument really has its place in the mix. It's joyful and very pleasant.

I thoroughly enjoyed this. It's bluegrass, with country mixed in, I love the steel at the end!!

Bluegrass is our genre and it is certainly not every day that you hear it with drums, pedal steel and accordion ... maybe a first? But it all works well and that's the bottom line. As always your melodic playing is the star ... well done! J&B

I admit that I chose the drums and accordion, but the pedal steel came with the BIAB style (DOCPED) so you can't blame me for that!
I understand that purists may have a distaste for mixture but fusion, if done well enough, can breathe new life into familiar sounds. It's a bit like installing a picture-window or a skylight in dark, careworn 100-year-old cottage.

Listening now. A great mix of timbres here, and lovely playing. And yay for bluegrass and yay for instrumentals for just those reasons!
Nobody else has said this, so it may just be me, but I do hear something of a problem with the lead/backing balance. Like in the first solo, I picture a guitarist sitting in front of a computer, playing along with a recording. This may be less a volume thing than an EQ or reverb thing or something else, but the impression of mixed environments was strong.
