Just an acoustic guitar instrumental I mucked about with for a few days. I tried to record it in one take so there are a few 'warts' but it was difficult to play all the way through perfectly.

They told me my guitar could sound like this they forgot the part about the player using it lol
Love it the harmonics really add to the piece well done brother

Ah! I love it! You are doing really well in finguer picking dear Ray, is it in normal tuning? the passage at 1mn25 and following would make me think not...or  is it  in D position ?

Can you tell me your recording process...I'm always looking for a good acoustic sound (steel string)...it's a bit my quest for the Grail :)
I don't know half of you half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.

You're a very versatile music man, Ray. 
Lovely playing and lovely relaxing tune.  I can close my eyes while listening and picture many nice things.

Thought I had commented on this but obviously not. Heard this a couple of times a few days ago. It's a beautiful piece. A really engaging instrumental that has loads to hold the interest, some really sweet lines. Amazing playing... loved it Ray.

Such a lovely track Ray, so much skill involved in that, with the subtle techniques and chords and picking and runs, nice song has a remembering nice times kind of feeling to it, of just wandering and being free, enjoyed

Very nice Ray. Cool picking. I only detacted one wart (and a small one at that) and only because you alerted me. Fine job mate ;-)

Oh my, what a delicious aural treat... mesmorizingly good.  For some reason I just wait for James Taylor to commence his singing to this wonderful trip. So pleasing, so beautiful, just puts a smile on your face.

Lovely Sir!
