nice job.jack c.

Yes, very seasonally nice. Great tone on guitars. The organ background is supportive.

Scratchy Danelectro pot or jack noise @:57  ? I used to have a sweet Danelectro, so that sounded familiar . . .

The drums could use some programming variety, that would take things to the next level.

This I think is my favorite of yours. Cue the winter tumbleweeds!

cheers,

-Tom

Thanks for the feedback and a tip for the drum programming.
I guess the scratch became from a some grounding problem on my recording stuff.

Makke - another great track - the guitar sounds great.

Cool stuff

Hi Nigel , just love those guitar tones , just as they should be, really clean playing and with a super feeling, nothing rushed just right on the button , evokes in my minds eye a  darkend smoke filled half empty bar with the band playing on the corner stage ..... but thats just me  I see music in pictures cheers P

[David Sprouse]

Markku you do a great job of  emphasizing the overtones of those single coil pickups.    Great tune!

I've got to agree there.
As to a "scratchy" pot; I was thinking more a "buzzing" fret. Could be wrong...

t

this definitely had a "longboard" vibe to it, so I imagined a long trip down gentle slopes in fresh powder....

Wow, I really like this. Nice, tasteful playing and I love the tone of your guitar. The tone and technique very much reminds me Chris Issac's "Don't Want to Fall in Love."

Nicely done Markku - I always enjoy listening to your guitar playing - you definitely have your own style and vibe.

Love those guitar bends.

I really enjoyed this one Makke! Sounds so good. I think the tempo could be slowed down a bit which would bring out the emotion in those great bends you do.

Hi Steve and Bjorn

Thanks a lot for the listening and feedback.

Makke.

That's a great sound.
I was trying to think of what to sing with it, and could only think of a Chris Isaak vibe.
Didn't make me think of winter loneliness, unless you live somewhere sunnier than me.

Maybe a desert in winter, waiting for a lover to return. Do deserts have seasons? Do the plants in Texas die off and then return?
What's winter in a desert like? Is that the song?
