This fairly short guitar piece provides nice melodies that give this a classical/ethnic flavor. The guitar parts and harmonies that layer up create a positive yet melancholy feeling. The sparse arrangement lends itself that ethnic vibe... which I think was/is a good choice. Nice piece.

My favorite tune tonight. Thank you for the trip back to Medieval times. "Fetch me my horse! Time to joust!"

Nice melody. Clean recording, Fairly good song structure (layering on/off instruments).

Did evoke Anglo/Gaelic ye olde vibe.

Nice movie vibe, i hear this playing in a scene in a movie like 'Jesus Christ Superstar" or maybe in a hall mark special!

Sounds like an Irish folk melody , some nice guitar playing , certainly could be used in the right setting, perhaps a shot across and Irish field or some other rural setting.

A beautiful piece, and most certainly classic. You have performed the guitars perfectly, giving the whole song a professional sound. The melody tells a story in my mind, perhaps something like an old mountain pioneer tale. I think this could be used as a background track for a particular genre and for some reason I just get images of nature while listening to this. Excellent work on this!

Very well recorded, it was clean and youve obviously spent time making the song gel and all the parts work together w/o tripping up the others and so on. Pitch was perfect, and the playing was accurate.

Starting out with just the guitar make you lean in and listen.. a great way to get you hooked in. And the drums and other guitar tracks come in at just the right time, building and adding dynamics that make this thing ready for a big time sync opportunity. Nice playing, production, ending... some good stuff here.

Excellent guitar playing! Being a guitarist, I am partial to good guitar playing. I like the interwoven nature of the 2 guitar parts and also like when the 2 guitars harmonize. Cool B part modulation.

A nice instrumental with a baroque/classical style. Nice clear recording quality and mix. I particularly liked the harmonies created with the guitars. A very nice sound.

This would work well in an "americana" setting. Could be very effective as underscore. Very nice guitar work.

Very nice guitar playing and melody. Nice reverb

I don't give many 5's on these reviews; this one is an exception. A lot of work went into this recording and it is going to pay off for you. I couldn't find anything really wrong with anything here - neither in the performance, instrumentation or recording. I picture in my head as I listen that this is a theme song to a Disney animation with a western theme.

great gtr sound quality! wonderful performance. i wish it had a bridge or contrasting section.

Pleasant song.

Nice song that would sit well in an underscore.
