Default Dont give up

I wrote this a few years ago after my brother failed his first year university exams.

I love playing guitar but am self taught and still dont know chord names ect.

I like the composing aspect of music but am not as talented as some players here, that amaze me.

I like it a lot. Cool and relaxing but obviously heartfelt melody. Thanks for sharing.

Sweet! The recording sounds great and I like how you panned the guitars so each is distinctly audible. The tune is very soothing to listen to! I enjoyed it.

That was nice, I could almost hear a lyric phrase in the leads.

I enjoyed it, well done!

Sounds very nice! I love harmonies like that on solos, always has a somehow sad, "moving" sound to them. Very good playing and a really pretty original tune.
