Hey Markku, great guitar song: very melodic, catchy, acoustic... really beautiful.
It would be even better if you were playing guitar while trudging through the
snow ... but hmm - you can't have everything.
Happy New Year! You've already written and played the song for it yourself.

Your guitar tones are always really good, but this one seemed particularly rich and smooth.

It is winter here, but your tune fit right in. Clean and tasteful playing. Listened a few times. I like the saying on the shirt "Almost the second best rockstar in the word"
Thanks for sharing.

Good work![]()
I wish to you happy 2026.

I like it a lot. Could use a larger arrangement. Not that you have to as it feels complete as is.
My only criticism is with the drums in particular, in the mix. Nothing against drum machines - good enough for Gary Moore & Chris Rea, Ronnie Milsap etc - but they have been left to feel flat in the mix. It is a fairly small change but will add a lot of sparkle to the track.

It is summer here...
It's nice that you got a moment of cooling off in the heat.
