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.

Thanks! 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 ????

Beautiful.  Guitars sound great.

I would have loved to hear some minimal percussion to add some rhythmic feel.

Thanks jeff....i'm starting to teach myself how to get a handle on the SI Drums VST....the unpredictable time lag when playing/recording is a real mood killer, i'm using the Piano Roll view, existing tracks waveforms, my ears, whatever i can to get the percussion placed where i hear it in my head recorded....so far the results are spotty at best, detrimental to the song at worst and not worth my thinking and energy....quantizing doesn't work unless it's the same beat throughout the whole song and the stuff i write is not that way....but i'm trying....i know the right percussion will take the songs to a higher level ????

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.

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 ????
