Description : This is my second acoustic track off my album "Lazy days". The inspiration behind this track was quite litterally, sitting by the river whilst walking my dogs, watching the water play off the pebbles and the rocks. Hope you guys like it, again, all reviews would be grateful

I'm sitting here working as I'm listening, multitasking, listening but not listening and this is a nice track. Hmmm...

I'm a fan of guitar so naturally I enjoy this kind of journey. Very smooth. You seem to make it effortless but I know it's not b/c I've attempted to study guitar. Maybe one day I'll get back around to it but in the meantime, I'll just enjoy tracks like this and hope for inspiration. Well done.

I as you suggested me to check out this track, I now have. I've had a good listen to this now and I'm impressed. your a very good guitarist and your creative ideas are quite frankly brilliant. Instead of using the built in jack slot of your electro acoustic guitar, save up and get yourself a pair of nice quality condensor microphones and try experimenting with the different natural accoustic sounds you can record. It's a shame you don't do this full time... festivals around the uk would love having you perform this material i'm sure of it :)

Good luck my friend, I look forward for more of these acoustic pieces in the future...

hey..this track sounds wicked! i could totally picture what was going through your head while you where watching the water flow across the pebbles.. consistency of the flow of water with little spikes in its flow.. if you still want to collab let me know.

The true test of a real artist is whether I would shell out $100+ to listen to you in concert....

I would happily do that.

It's too bad you can't do this full time, because the world could use a little bit more "harmony" like yours.

Bravo.

Added to favorites.

This track is great! The inspiration you used comes through the track in a lovely manner, peaceful... Yet, progressive. It was well recorded, the little "not quite so clean" parts of the guitar fit the peaceful laid back style of the song.

Oh my gosh! This one really knocks you off your feet. Loving your sound. The way this is recorded it's like you're sat next to the guitar. All the fine nuances of the playing are captured. Will never reach that technical ability with the playing myself. I just wasn't built for it. But I certainly feel inspired to pick up a guitar again by listening to this. Thank you for taking the time to listen to one of my tracks and I'm going to favourite this so I can come back to your page when I'm needing some inspiration. :)

One small request tho.. please don't re-record. It will lose the live feel and become kind of clinical. You're not human if you don't buzz a fret here and there and it adds to the atmosphere.

Man JKingz,...Wow..The best thing I could say to you is that you inspire me!This is way beyond a lot I've heard acoustically on this site,matter of fact,I'm gonna do another acoustic song myself soon and I'm gonna dedicate the inspiration to you in the description.
I live for this kind of acoustic push,not for any other reason than it's just that good and you did a very,very good job!

We recently had a thread about inspiration,I wish I had heard this before cause' your name would've been in there!

I really can't say enough.

The acoustic sounds nice and clear, great job recording it. Amazing that just a couple tracks can be so musically fullfilling. Pretty track, loved the harmonics!

thank you for taking the time to review me my friend. i was going to go back over it and re-record the melody due to fret buzz in places etc, and slight timing issues, but i kinda like the live feel to it ive decided ! thanks again for stopping by

Description : A collaboration with legend mick gordon. There is no singing in this song other then me doing light hollering.
Playing styles in the track:
Synths: Bright 16th-note arpeggiated sawtooth/pulse leads for an energetic electronic layer, along with smooth atmospheric poly-pads. There is more but no room to list here. A collaboration of this scale with mick gordon was $12,500 usd in english $2500 usd a min. So rest assure this will never be made again. The song is called ILL not dracula.
