Description

A drift-away-into-the-late-night guitar instrumental, tripping the acoustic starlight...
To be sandwiched in between Acoustic Nightshade and Acoustic Morning Dew.

Dim the lights, put on your headphones, and I hope you enjoy...
Jack

May be...
...your best recorded guitar sound, Jack... Very full and sparkly--your 'shimmering' keyword is on the mark... It's full, wide and deep--you've got a sense of left to right space and front to back space, and real resonance in the playing field... spacious all around... the lead work is like old slow playing from the early days of Fleetwood Mac... A very good headphone mix...

I'm always...
looking for your thoughts on my songs... helps me to know if I going in the right direction. Last time you suggested that when I record with the A2 effects in line that I also record into a live mic which I did (H2). That helped mellow out the acoustic strumming part. So thanks for the help. I had this progression for a few weeks. Only after recording the Washburn part did I decide to add an electric lead (Ovation/Applause AE). That was fun, especially tweaking the tone/effects.

Fleetwood Mac... now you've done it... overstating things!

Thanks Ed.

b2w... many thanks

for the your comments, and of course for taking time to listen. As I've written above in other replies, this was a fun piece to do. The guitar through the A2 effects pedal combined with the the guitar being mic'd via the H2 gave the thing a great base to work with when it came time for mixing. Best to you, and God bless.

	I'm really enjoying these instrumentals,, Jack. For some weird reason MJ is only playing the first 10 seconds of this, at least on my computer. hope others are downloading it to hear the whole thing, if this happens to them. I imagine the stars appearing at each note off the guitar solo. Real nice...:-) Check out my latest song called Sweet Grace

Dadai.2	Dadai.2 said 71 days ago (September 15th, 2009)

	You make fine music... Will you do Acoustic High Noon for me? I love the ambience of the blistering sun. I like Cowboy movies, too! Make it shine! Maybe a corral song, like Aaron Copland made.

El Lardo...
You grace me with the presence of your elevated words on this, my lowly song page. 'Tis an honor to read your insightful review.

Would that be an Italian western cowboy movie you were referring to? Maybe a kind of Gary Cooper-OK Corral-Copeland in chaps kind of composition you are requesting?

Ah yes, I know.... ;-)

Thanks,
Jack
