        Hi AM-folks,

        this is a composition, I posted a long time ago (March 2020). I think, it fits well with this challenge and I guess many people here have not listened to it yet. There are only two major chords (A and B) as required.

        I played the guitars, bass and a few synths to give it a little more substance.
        Hope you like it.

        Eric

              This is great! So much I like. The interplay between bass and rhythm guitar, many ear catching layers throughout, and that lead guitar is casual yet captivating. Nice! 😊

                    Such a musical Lydian Excursion Eric. Nicely composed and played and just dripping with feel and vibes. Excellent.

                      I don’t remember hearing it so thanks for the repost, Eric.
                      I like the layered build-up of the song. Once the guitar starts it sounds very Floyd-ish which, of course, is a pleasure to hear. Hope all is well, good to hear your playing again!

                          Cool, my favorite kind of musical experiment. I plan to spend more time doing that sort of project in the coming year. Well played, well arranged.

                            Nice playing! And the mixing was great…something I have difficulty with! Nice job!

                              Whoa, neat synth drone and bass you are playing against. Out of this world stuff. Those soaring guitar licks really enhance what’s going on.

                                Hi Eric, love the way this builds. You get a lot out of two chords here. And, some ripping guitar licks!
