Very clean I love the tone of your guitar, and the birds brought a smile to my face. Almost like the end of summer and beginning of Autumn. Looking forward to more from you! Check out my latest song called Julia

lovely i can definitely hear your influence of the outdoors in this. did come though. the guitar playing's great. the bird sounds honestly bugged me a bit - maybe if they came in later and softer. would rather just hear you playing the guitar! i agree - could be something that would work with vocals, that would be cool. but it doesn't need it - it stands on its own.

Great first post And welcome to MacJams :) Lovely acoustic guitar playing. The movement and pace of it (to me) suggested images of a stream tumbling along over gently-rolling landscapes. Thanks for posting this! Check out my latest song called For the Beauty of the Earth

Outdoorsie Wow - just what I needed today. So calm and relaxing. Great guitarwork and production. Wasn't crazy about the bird sound, though. It seemed kind of out of place with no other ambience sounds. A stream of water, a soft breeze or perhaps just some reverb would've made a lot of difference, but maybe that's just me :) Anyway - a great first post. Hope to hear more of this kind of stuff. Great job! Check out my latest song called Running Scared (w/ Ziti)

Outdoorsie actually that makes a lot of sense about the birds being out of place since they're the only extra sound like that.. I never thought about it, thanks.. I like comments that make me think a little... I need to do that once in a while Check out my latest song called The Great Outdoors

expansive, smooth I like this a great deal... well-written, well-played piece. One critique I have is that at 1:15, you begin plucking the high harmonic strings (I forget the guitarist's technical term for this), which would be perfect for giving the high crisp feeling you want to impart... but it sounds to me like this recording is missing a lot of high-end, so it didn't sound as good as it should have. The crisp high sounds (even in the birdsong) are somewhat muffled. You may want to boost the highs a bit more to make this piece shine a bit more. Overall, a very nice first piece, welcome to MacJams! ttfn, Drakonis Check out my latest song called Lullaby for the Inner Child

On yer Way Didn't read the comments before listening so the Red Wing Blackbirds in the background freaked me out a little since they've been gone from here in IA for a few weeks so I thought that was a GREAT touch - definitely got me thinking about the awesome spring/summer we just had and so as a composer - you've done your job! Liked the musicianship and I do agree that the production is a good one but some of the crispness being gone keeps it from being an absolute total triumph - still better than what I get around to producing and totally impressed with the tune so tops ratings from here. Thanks for sharing it! Check out my latest song called Tensions

On yer Way its a cold, rainy day today, and getting a comment like that brightened things up for me, Im glad the idea of the song came through, that was important to me.. as for the production side of things, like you and drakonis said, I agree, its been one thing that I always thought was missing, the sound is dull.. so I plan on going back and working on that some more.. so thanks for the criticism.. and the compliments Check out my latest song called The Great Outdoors

... up north on an autum day? To me that would be that my fingers are too frickin' cold to play the guitar like that. Awesome! Check out my latest song called Bleed (alley-oop)

Relentless peace There is a wonderful feeling inside this music. As if it is the persistent friendship and love of someone that won't be driven away becuz they know you need them, unconditional, waiting, encircling when necessary. Really nice warmth and emotive pacing. Excellent articulations. Check out my latest song called Forge A New Life (MJRF)

You play great guitar. I get a sense of the outdoors and of course the
bird are a nice touch. The mix is good with just the right amount of
space.-JAC
