Yes. It all works. Very interesting and compelling mix that really pulls you in.

Love the chord progression - it really blends classical with new in a terrific, non-gimmicky way.

Yeah - this is thoroughly enjoyable. Nice work.

Oh my this is lovely! It was just so easy to fall into a reverie and drift along with the dulcet tones of your guitar.

Hi Ivan, this a really sublime composition, building beautifully on Papa Zulu’s sample. Your Les Paul sounds great! (intrinsically and cause you play it so well)

Oh, I don’t know about my playing. Reverb and stereo tracks helps, LOL. Thank you, in any case. My Les Paul is an Epiphone, not a Gibson. The factory pick-ups are so-so, to be honest (of cos a bad carpenter blames the tools… yeah I know that). Anyway I ran my guitar through a Line6 KB37 toneport, which does wonders to the sound as well. You might want to try one some time.

Wow Ivan, this is beautiful. Sorry I took so long to give a shout, I just got back. You definately capture the sound, feel and emotion I was trying to put out there! Like Sackjo said, flows dreamily. I love it!

No apologies needed. I’ve to thank you instead. For sharing the MIDI files. It’s given me more flexibility to tweak the sounds. Glad you enjoyed this.
