          Very good Andre Congratulations and lovely winter scenes to go with.
          The T shirt seemed a little incongruous, perhaps you should add a shot of a blazing winter fire with a large hot toddy!
          All the best, a fine show.

            Very melodic lines Andre and very atmospheric. Music goes perfectly with the visuals and visa versa. Are you playing the instruments for the backing track or are you using something like Band in a Box? Really enjoyed it. All the best!

              Thx Garry, i made the backtrack.
              I wish i had Band in a box or Eastwest software, but very expensive.

                Hi Andre,

                My wife is getting me the Band in a Box Pro for Christmas. It was $169 Australian. Not sure how that equates in Canadian. Also I know that there are different versions of Band in the Box but I’m keen to give this version a try. Can’t wait for Christmas!!!

                  Garry your are one lucky dude,lol.
                  Yeah there are many versions.
                  But the complete box is $619 USD.
                  So close to $700. in Canada.

                        Beautiful, Andre. Had a very Europa/Samba Pa Ti feel, so what not to like. Winter came yesterday with a record snowfall in the greater Toronto area yesterday. I’ll bey you got some, too.

                          One cannot escape from The feeling of your emotions on that time, Andre.

                          The melody of the notes is what expresses the art of music . 🙂 6stringerPete

                          It really is all about ”melody”. The melody comes from a language from our heart. Our heart is the muscle in music harmony. The melody is the sweetness that it pumps into our musical thoughts on the fretboard. 🙂 6 stringer Pete

                                What a beautiful composition, André! Your video can make us think; whether we can still have such a winter? Impressive video scenario!

                                Play guitar just like you live; don't get bogged down in theory, it's just a tool without feeling.

                                    Very melodic and memorable theme. Your backing track sounds great, cool progression. Well done man!

                                          Nice one, Andre – you are the AM master of tone and phrasing. And the video shots cooled me down nicely….it’s 24C here in New Zealand today.

                                            Thoroughly enjoyable Andrè, there was a great contrast between those cold wintery scenes when played against the warm tones of your guitar.
