Wow! This is such a beautiful song. Beautiful arrangement too. And, of course, nice playing!

the finger picking really brings out some nice delicate subtleties in your playing, everything fits together in such a pleasant and calm manner. and i love how those low notes are hitting.

I feel better now I listened to your track

Thank you! I think the straight-to-the-board thing is very revealing, for good or for ill. Lots of little variants in hand pressure or position really come through. It's a challenge to play things consistently throughout!

Thank you! Glad you like it!

I'll also mention here that West Branch is the title track of my new collection of guitar-only pieces with this guitar in this tuning.

It's so relaxing. I don't know what this bridge looks like (perhaps in the future you can add a picture to your references), but I can imagine one listening to this.

Thank you! The bridge...is short. But the number of the piece led to the route, which led to the Escanaba River, and I have a fondness for Michigan's UP. (Admittedly, the photo I used on the cover of the Bandcamp release...is not the West Branch of the Escanaba River, but a much wider one near me that resonated.)

With a name like Gwinn, I'd've thought it was in Ireland, and still, it's not too far off what I imagined (a different hill).
