DaveT2 Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 I like it. The only critique, (minimal) I would have liked the guitar if it had a bit more space. It felt a little too upfront for an otherwise dreamy type song. Maybe either a bit of echo, reverb, or something. Very nice playing and tune. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I originally wanted the song to be acoustic guitar only but it seemed to need some separation or individualization of the sections....i was trying to get the acoustic guitars (there are two different ones, one panned full left, the other full right) combined harmonics to be the echo or reverb and they do to some extent but they are dry, not even EQ'ed except on one that needed a small increase in the high spectrum 🎶🎶🎶🎶 Edited October 11, 2022 by Larry T.

jwnicholson78 Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 Beautiful. Guitars sound great. I would have loved to hear some minimal percussion to add some rhythmic feel. jeff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve@baselines.com Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 Nice chill sounds. Is that plane photo the US or Europe? I think a nice vocal could be worked over this. Maybe like a Warren Zevon but I'm just spit balling here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks steve....I think those peaks are in the Front Range in Colorado, southwest of Denver...yes, I wrote this with lyrics back in the late seventies or so hoping to get Linda Ronstadt interested but couldn't make the hook up 🎶🎶🎶🎶 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
