Amy xo

[rhopen]

Hi Amy, this is really sublime.. oh oh there is that word sublime again, which I use too often but it certainly fits here. It is all that and more. I will try that tuning out myself soon :o) -Ron

[rafaelg45]

What kind of Martin guitar is?

[toonmunger]

That's real nice

[KarenEng]

So beautiful Amy! I always enjoy your original songs! :)

[bedsitsongbird33]

@amccann7 thanks amy i play this tuning already i play about 20 im always looking for new one,s but you defo play this tuning better than myself with some tunings i find they are really good for songwriting others are just great for lovely guitar peices like this it realy is a fantastic peace of music

[Oswlek]

Enchanting. At the 2:28 mark I heard a chorus of female voices in my head and it was heavenly. They came back again at 3:43. There is definitely still plenty of room to grow with this one.

[amccann7]

@Oswlek Hi Justin! Thanks for both of your comments. Yes, I will record it with more parts eventually! I also hear the chorus of voices, as you said. :)

Amy

[Roselyne18]

Hello dear Amy, it's just wonderful :)

My best wishes and hugs, your friend Rosy

[amccann7]

@Roselyne18 Merci cherie! Joyeux Noel, mon ami! :)

Amy

[earlofmar11]

Beautiful!

[wirenumber5]

Thanks again for such a beautiful song. Its paceful. I am going to try it on my guitar!

[prrolg]

I can close my eyes and a little movie runs in the head. Verdant green with a little silver stream and some (nice) bugs floating here and there and a couple of setters running around. A wheat field on the side. Real nice Amy. Love the way it sounds like the base part and the higher part are at the same time.

[amccann7]

@prrolg thank you for enjoying my song, dear Tom.

Amy :)

[bedsitsongbird33]

this is a fantastic feel it has that kind of timeless nick drake feel to it ps what guitar tuning are you playing in here merry xmas

[6cuerdas6]

Hermosa canción traducida con gran calidad, tienes una hermosa guitarra y calidad a sentimiento!!

Gracias por tu música!!

César Amaro

[amccann7]

@6cuerdas6 Cesar, le considero un gran profesor a mí en música. Miro con impaciencia un aprender de su musicianship asombroso, gracias tanto mi amigo en música, y en la guitarra!

amor, Amy xo :)

[DADGAD82100]

Love the groove... bit of a Nick Drake feel but with more melody. Very nice!

Bob M

[amccann7]

@DADGAD82100 thanks so much Bob! It is a lovely and unusual tuning I found listening to Brigit St. John's version of the Perry Como classic, "Catch a Falling Star".

and of course, Nick Drake is a huge influence on me. His music was so enchanting and beautiful, it makes one think, and not think at the same time; it's meditative, I like that quality in a guitar instrumental; like Bron Yr Aur by Jimmy Page; it has that carry-you-away folkiness...you know what I mean, Bob! ;)

Amy

[fritzstippinger]

So calm, so soft, so beautiful ...

... taking the listener's soul on a silent journey ... thx

[chris21125150]

Beautiful, Amy! Very soothing to the soul! Keep it up!

Hallo Amy, your compositions are always something very special. I drifted away while I listened. Very good my friend.

Nice greetings from Anette

[Desotoguitarist]

Superb Amy, like me I think you never want to go for the obvious changes and sequences. So many transcendent little moments in this piece. I find it very inspiring. J.

[727JeffN]

[amccann7]

@FridayNightLullaby you can; do it ! :)

Amy

[vtx1300dave]

Absolutely Captivating

[eatonjohnrobert]

Amy, wow!! The first thing that struck me was how incredible that finger picking pattern sounded on that wonderful sounding instrument. (What model is that?) Then I went back and listened again without looking at you. Sometimes I get a little lost in the video, so I wanted to just hear the song. Supreme!! Like a waterfall of sound. There never seemed to be an end or beginning to the progression. It was seamless.

[amccann7]

@eatonjohnrobert hi thanks so much John! This is the beautiful Martin Orchestra Model with spruce top and mahogany back; I love the size and action; it's a great acoustic for us classical players; has great sustain. I recorded the main guitar in my room live with my MP3 recorder and added a secondary track around 3:18 because I heard a harmony in it and I wanted the sound to be bigger toward the end.

Amy

[snafu1963]

beautiful music, just loved it!

[TheDamiac]

Dig it....especially the magic playing that comes in around 3:24.

[amccann7]

@TheDamiac thanks for enjoying. Yes, I did add a secondary track to highlight the second half; this comes in around 3:18 actually...ah if only I had more hands! the main guitar part is the first portion.

Amy :)

[jherr5150]

beautiful Amy, your playing never ceases to amaze me.

[ProgMom67]

So nice. I love it.

[bughead3]

Splendid as always Amy. Bravo.

[jugnutgut]

beautiful Amy, enjoyed it very much

[csncsn00]

bello !

[ClassicTVMan1981X]

Good job!

[STRAIGHTAHEAD1970]

Superb !!!

[MrMekhall]

Nice and relaxing! Strangely enough it reminds me of "Winter Winds" by Sandy Denny.
