[@thesilful]

Absolutely beautiful, especially the end riff, on the record Mark plays that i think on the Stratocaster, what gives it a haunting sound wich gives me goosebumps every time i hear it. You are the first one who actually plays the end riff near to perfection, again top notch ❤ Greetings from The Netherlands 🇳🇱

[@markbateman_music]

Thanks so much! I couldn’t quite pull of the little electric guitar riff at the end but I think the idea comes across fairly well. Greetings from New York! 😊🎸

[@thesilful]

@@markbateman_music Absolutely, that end riff is so special, i have the same feeling with Telegraph Road, i the middle of the song you have that piano piece and Mark joins it with that delicious guitar playing. I don’t know if you like The Eagles? but at the end of I can’t tell you why, you have the same, the end playing is so beautiful, i know its another band but i recognize top music immediately 😊
