Hi Rich , this one really soars , that was awsome , I really like the way you ended it too, smooth and slightly unexpected.

[CUTI106HH]

quite basic composition but still nice clean sound. U play almost every single instrument which I appreciate so.

[lindzamuly]

I miss you and your music :(

[richsomers]

aww thanks I miss you and your music too. I miss playing with you in Jazz class.

[lindzamuly]

that was some awesome times :) I can't believe I was only in music in grade 12, I really missed out!

[richsomers]

you really did. Miss Urquhart is such a good teacher. She really makes it fun to learn and play.

[MaverickD6]

That was outstanding. Honestly though, the backing got a little boring, no offense, just giving my opinion, hope it helps.

[richsomers]

oh no i totally understand the backing is basically the same the whole way through minus one short change. To be honest I didn't want this to get past 4 mins and I know if I threw in another change it would put me over 4 mins. So I did some slap bass and hoped it wouldnt be too repetitive. Funny thing is you don't hear people complaining about that in rap music where the backing is one big long loop.

Hi Richard ,

This is AWESOME

Thank you

[leorobertti]

hello ... the guitar sounds you've made the effects after the recording or effects are live and how you do it .. .. I like material.muy good .. I also buy the Samplitude ... saludos. ..

[richsomers]

the effects were all in samplitude. The Chorus, equalization and reverb all were from samplitude. The distortion however came from my digitech RP80 pedal.

[bombafra]

the vibratos are fantastics!

[aaddicted]

Aloha from Hawaii. Awesome composition! I really enjoyed listening to this. The emotions shone through beautifully.

[richsomers]

Aloha and thank you very much. This is a very emotional song for me.

[CaptainBodder]

wow this is great! what's the guitar?

[richsomers]

The Red Guitar is a Washburn and the Gray/black one is an Ibanez. I actually didn't use the Washburn on the recording so what you hear is the Ibanez guitar with some chorus and reverb. I just used the red guitar in the video to distinguish the parts. I did however use the washburn guitar on my Jeff Beck cover video.

[geoffpeterstrio]

cool tune!! like the changes in the bridge / middle section

[richsomers]

thank you I really like chromatic chord progressions and use them often.
