Nicely done and great playing.

Great all the way around. Sounds and looks great.

Thanks for listening guys.
 
@bayoubill thanks for the wishes. Much appreciated.
 
Cheers,

Other than the beginning, 4:40 and again at the end, I thought the acoustic was out of place. During the times mentioned, it was very nice. This is subjective though.
 
I thought this was a great bit of work and I kept thinking of Gordon Lightfoot throughout.
 
Very well done! 

I thought it was very good recording wize, video and especially the production.  Being honest, it's the musical production and steller recording, that saves the day with this.  Not that the song needs saving, but all the musician shots show elementary skills on the instruments.  Don't get me wrong... a *Vai* flurry of notes isn't called for.... as this tune doesn't even call for that.  Maybe some of the acoustic or lead gtr licks could be a little bit more *techie* for a lack of words.  Even Gilmore will bend a note just perfectly... that he somehow gets away with nice, graceful melody lines, skipping all the VHalen riffing.
 
IOW words, I know you have musical skills better than what is shown, because of the final product for proof.  But as another musician (your hardest listener!), the chops need to be inserted somewhere, other than just showing a bass player hitting roots on one string.
 
To your credit, the recording work is awesome-ly good.  Great job  ;-)

Wow! Elementary skills. Bit harsh I reckon.
 
It's interesting that according to the majority of people that purchase my albums they seem to enjoy the fact that it's not one of those "techie" albums made for guitarists.
 
When I write a piece of music, it's always the melody that comes first and foremost. Especially with an instrumental album if one gets too self indulgent you will immediately lose the listener and boredom sets in. I want the melody to stay long after the song is finished.
 
It's also the reason that I alternate between using acoustic, nylon string and electric guitars to get that melody across. Personally I detest a guitar player "showing off" his chops at the expense of the music.
 
In this day and age you want to be as accessible to as many people out there as possible.
 
The bass player just hitting the root on one string is what the song required. The video documented that element.
 
I appreciate the comments on the recording and the production.
 
Thanks for taking the time to listen.
 
@guitarpima, thanks for the comments and for watching the video. Much appreciated.
 
Cheers,

If this is elementary, then I'm still in kindergarten.  I appreciate that you don't overplay this song, as we get enough of that all over the place.  I've enjoyed all your videos, so far, and this is quite in tune with your past vids.  Perhaps a conceptual video might be in line for your next production, but this works for me.

my apologies if I sounded harsh.  Certainly not my intentions.  I thought EVERYTHING was exceptional, with the exception of showing a little bit of "chops"... and also noted that this tune does NOT need flashy playing to come across as enjoyable.  
The only thing I can offer as a target to shoot for would be a player like Jeff Beck (in the Ronnie Scott Youtube videos).  In those he does NOT overplay, as well as Tal on bass guitar.  But you get a solid feeling that there's hours and hours of playing behind those precisely chosen notes.  I also noted that with Gilmore in my previous post.
Again...I apologize and probably did not choose my words wisely using "elementary".... but the actual performances were in my opinion, the easy part of the total production on the whole. I am NOT advocating that playing something difficult equals quality, but tried to express my statement with the Jeff Beck analogy.  He certainly isn't flashy, but many consider him to be one of the best guitar players.  How can you tell??   By just a certain "feel" you get by watching him play and others like him.  In your non-flashy performances, I was not getting that same *feel*...even if you felt those parts were best for the song.

Again, please re-read my comment and take out the mis-used word "elementary"...and I think you might understand what I am trying to say and help with some constructive critisizm.

BTW, I'm not a flashy player either...mainly probably because I can't really do it well.  So I concentrate on doing what I can do...the best I can.  I think that's a secret for players like Clapton, Beck, Gilmore, BB King, etc... great players that don't rely on flashy 64th note bombardments.

Very nice man.  I have no clue on where to start making a video...as far as syncing up the video and audio?  Any resource you could point us to?

nice work. Music sounds good, video looks good, nice collection of instruments.... what's lacking?  Not much really.
 
Good job.
