Summer Rain (Zax, AndyG6508, Stoman)

[stoman]

It took me years to bring myself to record a quick demo for this instrumental tune that has been in my head for ages. Then it took another 4 years until - thanks to Frank and Andy - it finally got recorded the way I had always heard it.

Here is the link to the thread in Studio "A":

Hey guys,

Great to get this little instrumental completed. I really like the melody.

Super composition and arrangement from Steffen, and love Frank's Beck like guitar playing and tone.

Cheers

Steffen... Thanks very much for letting me play on this.  It is a great melody and composition.  The extra part added made it even better!!

Andy... Great bass work as usual!!  And great job pushing for the extra added part.  It really made a difference for the better.

Holger, Tim & Paul - thanks for listening!

I'm really satisfied with the result. I did find a couple of minor things that I''m going to tweak, but later.

Frank & Andy, I'll let you know when I have something new for you.

I reduced the level of the final guitar section and narrowed the panning slightly. The new version is at my website: http://stoman.org/download/Summer_Rain.mp3
