Hope you like it.

Well, what a stunner Phil.
Lots of compositional elements here to admire - my favorite around and the after the 2.15 mark. The better a student one is and more exposure one has to guitar arrangements from the greats the more chance one has of absorbing these elements and integrating them into ones own pieces. I can hear that in your recordings now and its great to hear such subtle complexities find their way into your compositions. There's a fine line between and dull and beautiful and so its sometimes (not always) an unwritten requirement and or best practice to introduce differences, no matter how small into each iteration of melodic and harmonic development - you do that in your own way here and the result is a very beautiful and interesting piece.
Well done.

Steve

Well Steve that is a very thoughtful, interesting and kind comment and coming from someone who's guitar compositional and playing talent I greatly admire makes it special for me. Thank you very much.
