[@NeurogeneratedGuitar]

Brilliance is soul lifting.

[@KiriakosGP]

Superb 👌🏼

[@BolshyTwanger]

The live version you recorded had a big impact on me and this is very complimentary indeed. I really liked the slight rawness and the part where you picked near the bridge for the change of tone (for example) as well as the overall energy of the live version. This is perhaps more 'polished' but still a fantastic version of a beautiful piece of music from the beautiful soul of an amazing musician. Thanks so much for posting Irene, really enjoyed hearing it, and I absolutely love what you're doing with melody. Stunning as always, in every way. 🙏👍❤

[@Ireneket]

@@BolshyTwanger thanks so much Brian! I only played around with pickup and volume changes here, but of course the live recording was with a real amp so you'd definitely get more juice in the tone from it!
