A new song "My Best Guess"

Oh yes i am old enough to remember J Tull :-)
Yes i like the contrast between acoustic and a bit of good old overdriven guitar.

That is a good Tull description, we can thank them for giving us this, and I love it. Acoustic and overdriven electric co-existing in one song.

My first tom r track! I am discovering loads of new talent in here every other minute!

There is a slight Tull feel to this, yes, but I actually hear a lot more Morrissey. And that is a DAMNED GOOD THING, in my book. This song could easily be on any Morrissey album, new or old, and feel quite at home. Awesome fast chord changes to go along with the superb vocal melody and singing.

I love this!

This damn site is exploding with talent, quality songwriting, excellent musicians. I for one am very excited to be a part of this little forum. I get inspired everyday by this place!!!

I may just start a thread where I say this very thing!

Great stuff Tom, really clever acoustic work. this would definitely benefit from some more work, it's a really good song. The vox are very nice indeed and some harmonies would add even more texture to what you have here. Get into bouncing - it's not hard, just follow the excellent tutorials on the site and ask if you get stuck.

Cheers,

Nigel

Really like the feel of your song. Acoustics have just a special sound. YOu did great!

Nearly missed this one, real glad I didn't!!
Excellent Tom. Keep 'em coming.

BTW--Tull one my favourites too, how 'bout 'Broadsword and the Beast'?

Tom, very nice tune with an interesting progression. I look forward to more posts from you. Don't be shy about bouncing. Folks have posted songs using the Micro BR with over twenty tracks, and they have sounded great. I'm jealous of the Guild.

Osckilo, Tull is definitely worth checking out. They do everything from acoustic ditties to full-on rock, but their proggy stuff with different movements are my favorite.
