Yeah i think morenoise summed it up pretty well.
Some great guitarplaying and tones you've got in this.
Adding some vocals would work well i reckon.

Cool....very TSO-like. I like it a lot! It would be extra cool with the melody down the middle and a third harmony to the left.

Oh, yeah, that's sweet! Sorta reminds me of Mannheim Steamroller, one of all-time favorite groups. It doesn't exactly sound unfinished to me...just a little short I suppose. The song is repetitious enough that it's challenging to make it interesting for 3.5 minutes, though, eh? :-) I think I attempted it by changing time signature from 6/8 to 4/4 halfway through, which took way longer to make 'work' than I'd hoped. Anyway, yeah, I love this. Do some more! :-)

Very good guitar playing. You did a very good job arranging this tune. I kind of agree with Janet about it ending too soon.

Thanks every for the great response. :) It is kind of short. It's something I started and never finished so I figured I'd throw it out there the way it was. Merry Christmas.

Loved it Bub!
Excellent git harmonies.

Love love LOVE IT! I realize that I've put out nothing but angelic sounding harp music, but I'm a loud guitar guy at heart. Listening to this really has me itching to record some rock now. Great job dude!
Cheers,

i agree it's almost touching on TSO or less-wankey Yngwie...very cool. too short though...needed to go mad after the intro. good chops Bubster!

I love it.
With a remix to make it a bit heavier, and a mid summer release, this thing could go big as "classically inspired" metal.
How do you feel about extensions?
Nice playing and great imagination.
best,
mike

Get it finished. Great work. I think vocals would screw it up.

great stuff Bub! love it! I don't think it needs vox, but I do agree you should finish it! I agree with mark (mgh) that you should "go nuts" after the intro!
very nice!

After all the responses I got to this I decided to redo it in the same style and go all out with it, but you'll have to wait until next year to hear it! :)
Merry Christmas everyone. And as always, thanks for all the great feedback.
