Dear all,

I'm glad to present you my first compo in which I actually play the guitars. I didn't initially plan to post it here, however some people told me the music reminded them Mike Oldfield's folk pieces, so here it is...

Hope you'll like it:

Back in the 90s, my dad went through a massive folk/ singer-songwriter phase. So I've grown up hearing a good bit of Seafaring songs, he also plays a lovely sounding Takamine 12 String. The guitar is thin sounding (I assume that was intentional). 

I've got mixed opinions on the rythm sections. Normally I wouldn't be a huge fan of something like this, but I think in this context it works quite well. This piece could fit in well perhaps on Five Miles out, or something like that. 

Overall a well polished song that I quite enjoyed, and by all means, post it on here, that's what this part of the forum is for, isn't it?

I like it. The part with the bending before the bass solo at minute 2 sounds a bit too improvised, but it's few seconds only, so it's not a big problem. 
I wonder what the signature is, I've been unable to count it.

There may be similarities with some Oldfield, but it's your original. It doesn't sound like a clone to me.  
I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution
