An elegiac and somewhat wistful acoustic guitar instrumental

Lovely fingerpicking.....the guitar tone is excellent. Either you are a wizard at EQ/microphone placement or the room you are recording in is fantastic.
Can you shed some details on how you captured/mixed the performance? It really is wonderful.

Heartfelt thanks to you both for your kind and poetic words.
It was recorded in a "dead" room with no acoustic ambience whatsoever, and credit for the atmospherics is due to the Oktava condenser mic and Sean Costello's peerless Valhalla plugins.
Guitar is a Yamaha dreadnought, FX something or other, they really are solid. I played the piano when I was younger which has influenced my fingerpicking style.
Thanks again, sincerely.

I'm hearing Lindsay Buckingham... I feel like if Stevie Nicks heard this, she'd instantly write a vocal for it and it would be covered by a million country musicians within a week.

Wistful indeed. Great pacing, smooth driving momentum, shimmering pointillistic details and variations. Curvy forest roads, rain shower just done, sun piercing through. Something well-accomplished just behind, hope and mystery ahead. Very nice.
