Gosh... 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! Check out my latest song called Corn Whiskey

Thanks Mark 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 Steve Check out my latest song called Fiddle tune

This is 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. Check out my latest song called What the

Too short! Fabulous depth of sound. Its sounds like a shortened clip of a longer piece. Is there more? I love it... Check out my latest song called Momentary Undertow

Bittersweet 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. Check out my latest song called A Little Song About Our Mom

Glen Byre Sounds good. If you like I could try putting some whistles in with it and see how it sounds? Check out my latest song called Dont Know Yet

Oh, I think 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 Check out my latest song called We'll Meet Again

Beautiful 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. Check out my latest song called Across the Wire (MJRF)

Sounds right to me...(genre) 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. Check out my latest song called Last Day Here 1998

Really nice! 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! Check out my latest song called Buffalo Skinners

Hello, 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 Steve Check out my latest song called Fiddle tune

Hello 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 Steve Check out my latest song called Fiddle tune

You should know 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.

There is at least some form... ...of Celt in this one's ancestry... I love the low notes in the tunings you use, and I love that they're so in tune... As to the recording, this one fairly leaps out of the headphones... Considerably 'hotter' than the other ones I've listened to tonight... And sounding good in its hotness...

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
