Really like this well done would make a great backing track to add some lyrics too Hint Hint  If you could send it without the lead I would love to play around with this
Well done Tim

I was very surprised because I kept waiting for the vocals... can't say I was disappointed as this is lovely playing but I really dig SE vox...

Sounds great, but i too was waiting for the SE vocals to appear :) As is it's more of an laidback mood piece. Nothing wrong with that, but there's still space for vocals :)

While vocals would take this in another direction, I wouldn't feel compelled to do anything to it because it stands on its own as a lovely piece. Instrumentals lend themselves to movie music, and I can hear this behind a drive along a windy forested road. There doesn't even have to be a boob in the scene (I'm apparently not over that misrepresented scene from Alias).

Great vibe here.

A very relaxing listen SE! The parlour acoustic tone is so easy on the ears...mellow but good presence. The bass fills the bottom out perfectly. I think this song stands alone as an instrumental just fine, but I would be tempted to add some vocals.

I agree with the other guys that there is space for a vocal track but having said this instrumental stands in its own right. Lovely tasteful playing and a cool clear recording.

Really dig the mood in this. It's got a calming, reflective quality to it. The arpeggios are perfect and the lead guitar on top is so expepressive. Love it, I'd love to see what TPB does for vocals on top :D

Totally cool with this being an instrumental. I love instrumental music so this is more than fine with me. Great laid back groove with classy playing. Love the tones you are getting too.

Can't disagree with what anyone else has said :)

I was listening without reading, feeling nice cool sounds - lovely playing - and thinking doesn't he usually sing?
It's the first sounds I've listened to today, and it was a lovely relaxing introduction to the day's chaos (working from home).

I'm very happy with it as it is. It would never cross my mind to add vocals - but that's just how I listen, and I never do my own vocals/songs like that: if it's a little instrumental piece that's all I "hear".

I know other folks hear different, and there's definitely room for a vocal if you think about it like that. I'll be intrigued to hear what comes up.
