This is terrific - beautiful, clear and skilled finger picking - that's so hard to do well, and you've done it exceptionally well. Yes more instruments could be really nice, but this stands on it's own just fine too - a testament to your skill! It's kinda celtic in the sound - I don't know, I'm terrible at genre picking! (And finger picking!) I hope in the next iteration you might go for a real ending instead of a fade out - it kind of left me wanting there. It could also be lots longer! Thanks [ Reply to This ]
Thanks Karen &mdash 04/12/08 - 12:14:50 PM
Taking note of some of the other comments I think I'll try to put in another section and a proper ending. Thanks for taking the time to listen!

Gosh... &mdash 04/09/08 - 06:49:57 PM
It's so fine on it's own... I wonder... should there be more?
I could maybe see some flute or (ha hate to mention this...) even a soft bag pipe!? What am I saying... Normally I hate pipes but they would fit! [ Reply to This ]
Thanks Mark &mdash 04/12/08 - 12:25:06 PM
I'm putting in another section to make it longer. Some sort of pipe drone might work well in addition to a pipe melody line - i'll try it so thanks for the idea.
Best wishes

great!Excellent tone and rhythm.It sounds wonderful by itself but I could hear the whole thing repeated with a pennywhistle playing an embellished melody. [ Reply to This ]
really well &mdash 04/10/08 - 07:09:29 AM
rounded sound. very clear, and the strings sound brand spanking new, which adds to the crispness of your tone. i liked this one alot. it is great when ten seconds into a tune as such, i find myself hearing vocal melodies and harmonies. great post. thanks!

Too short! &mdash 04/10/08 - 08:20:40 AM
Fabulous depth of sound. Its sounds like a shortened clip of a longer piece. Is there more? I love it... [ Reply to This ]

Very pretty and bittersweet at the same time; I get a feeling of longing from the music, but longing for a very beautiful place. I like the unresolved way in which it ends... my only suggestion there is to not fade out on the last chord, but just repeat it a few times ritardando (i.e., getting gradually slower, and also getting quieter, until you stop, just letting the final notes ring for a while.
Beautiful playing and writing. [ Reply to This ]
Glen Byre &mdash 04/11/08 - 06:05:19 AM
Sounds good. If you like I could try putting some whistles in with it and see how it sounds?

Oh, I think &mdash 04/12/08 - 08:59:55 AM
it is the right genre. This sounds great as is, though I can mentally here that ghostly voice of Clanad in the background. I loved this... it sounds really powerful even though it's only one instrument, regards M [ Reply to This ]
Beautiful &mdash 04/15/08 - 06:32:57 PM
piece of music, and outstanding playing. The strings ring out in this one, clear as crystal and nicely resonant. You don't put a finger wrong. As for other instrumentation or arrangement, I think the idea of another section is good, and I like that you mentioned a drone in one comment response - that to me would work as well. I would also second Magnatone's comment about the fade-out. I sometimes fade out tracks myself, but I think in this case it feels like we're not getting to hear something that's going to happen just after the fade! But having said all that, I really think it stands as a piece by itself too. Fantastic piece. I get the Celtic vibe, I have to say, so genre-wise, it works for me, by the way. Nicely done. Kudos. Peace. [ Reply to This ]
Sounds right to me...(genre) &mdash 05/02/08 - 07:13:28 PM
Great sound and song. If you are ever so inclined please let me know how you get such a tight sound from your acoustic. I have good gear and fairly decent chops but I can't seem to get my acoustic to sound that good lol. No worries if you don't want to share I would understand lol. Very impressive I am glad you stopped by for a visit. Thanks mate. [ Reply to This ]
Really nice! &mdash 05/19/08 - 08:27:47 AM
Great clean playing. I'm striving for this sort of sound myself. Are you in standard tuning? You might try adding some more dynamics, although the even-handedness fits the drone effect. Good work! [ Reply to This ]
Hello, &mdash 05/22/08 - 07:36:53 AM
Hi MunichG, thanks for listening and the nice comments. I think you've already got a great sound and would like to hear some new posts from you! The tunning I used on this is a bit unusual - CFCFCF. This tunning gives a good drone sound.
Best wishes

Great! &mdash 06/16/08 - 07:59:42 AM
I love it, really great work. I love your stuff... wish someday to have a tune featuring your lovely playing. I'm going to try this tuning and see if I can have something with it....
Take Care

Hello &mdash 06/16/08 - 08:34:07 AM
Hi Yeman,
Thanks for listening. I think you will like this tuning because you can easily get some unusual sounds. I'm looking forward to hear what a good player like you can do with it. Watch you eyes when tuning up to top C and top F becuase the strings might break.
Best wishes

Love it! &mdash 06/18/08 - 11:04:38 AM
Being of Scottish descent on my father's side, I absolutely love celtic music. This is certainly celtic inspired!
Lovely playing Steve!
Be well! [ Reply to This ]
You should know &mdash 06/28/08 - 12:15:30 AM
I got a little emotional listening to this.
Shhh..it'll be our little secret.
My hats off to you my friend.
California is a long ways from Scotland, but your music takes me right there in an instant.
Great performance and beautiful song.
Cheers,
