Hope you enjoy this newest single, folks! What do you reckon of the new guitar? I reckon Tom’s knocked it out the park! If you like the sounds of this new single please do share it about and feel free to add the track to your Spotify Playlists =)
Just tweeted the link to this video and shared your post over on my music UA-cam channel.
@@AlexNitzberg Legend! Thanks Alex =)
@@will_mcnicol you're very welcome.
The guitar and the playing are a delight! Thanks Will
Splendid work
You might have the smoothest attack I've ever heard, thank you for the beautiful music
Thanks Roscoe - appreciate you taking the time to listen and comment!
What the fuck man, where have you been my whole adult life. Did not expect to stumble onto something so good today.
Ah ha, well I'm glad you've finally found me! Glad you dig the tune man - thank you.
The articulation, the dynamics, THE SOCKS. Everything is just perfect. It's always a pleasure to see what you come up Will. You are an inspiration to us all 😊
That’s very kind - thank you for listening!
That tone is otherworldly. The fantastic touch and technique helps, too.
Thanks very much =)
Totally lovely melody…not exactly sure why, but there is a feel, or something about it brings to mind a turn of the century French waltz or the music of Eric Satie..j…Je ne sais quoi… loved it and the sound of the Sands model?
Simply glorious.....
Thanks Phil!
Beautiful Music Will 🌻
Thank you!
It was my pleasure. 😊
A beautiful piece of music Will, I don't know which I love better, the composition or the performance!
That's very kind, Don - thank you =)
Wow! Amazing composition Will. I can imagine it being a wonderful title tune for a movie - sunshine and showers in Paris perhaps?
Well funnily enough it stated life as music for film - so yes you’re bang in there, Guy. Thank you =)
So gorgeous 💚🖤💚🖤💚🖤
Yes, yes and YES!! 🎉❤
Ah ha, huge thanks, Marc! =)
Incredible!
Glad to have stumbled across your content. Thanks
Thanks for watching, Dan!
Fantastic Will! A rare lightness
Thank you!
Beautiful sound.😁🥰
Will, I love this piece, probably listened a good 30/40 times now. What did you record this with? (Mics / positions specifically) the recording mix is perfect. Thanks from California 😎🤙🏼
Thanks Maxwell! Glad you’re digging it. I recorded the audio in a studio in Oxford with a very talented audio engineer called Oli Whitworth. Let me double check the mics - and if you wanted to drop me a line via my website I can email you a pic of the positioning!
@@will_mcnicol Wow! thank you for the kind invitation. I will definitely reach out via your website.
Fantastic tune, beautifully played!!! (I liked the socks too)
Many thanks!
Absolutely stunning! The guitar sounds great and what a beautiful composition
Thanks man!
I could say that I have no words but damn I have lots of it .. but for now, I can say that your compositions are really unique !
I really think that we're seeing some history being made in guitar playing/composition with you and other folks ..
Thanks for the music
:)
That’s very good of you, Dennis - thank you!
Beautiful as always Will
Thanks for listening!
This is one of my favorite compositions ever written for the acoustic guitar. I first heard a version when you demoed Scarlett for Tom Sands, I was so blown away that I showed that demo to everyone I knew with even a slight interest in music. Love the new guitar, looks like redwood on mahogany with ziricote all around? Thanks for the stunning music and cheers from northern California!
Matt that's a heart-warming comment to read on many levels. Very grateful for you listening to and sharing my work - thank you. Almost spot on with the guitar there, but it's rosewood, not mahogany. Cheers man!
If the word 'perfect' can be shaped into a human, it will be you, Will.
So much of depth fused with dexterity and dedication! Thank you for blessing us with such beautiful compositions, one after another 🙌🏻💜
(and yes, i'm also in if you're selling those socks as your merch 😉)
That's exceptionally kind of you to say, thank you! But I'm certainly far from perfect 😅 Socks - ha yes I've been thinking of starting a merch line with socks =)
Will, that is lovely. Guitar, composition, playing and socks all on point.
Thanks hugely, Martin. It’s all in the socks as you know =)
Amazing 🎉
On and up to a whole new level, simply wonderful mate. ❤
Thanks kindly, Chrys!
A beautiful and "flourish" song with both warmth and clarity in the TS 👍💜
Thank you, Leif!
Just wonderful mate, might just hope this one makes it to the setlist if I can catch you guys on tour in a couple of weeks hopefully - can’t wait to see you there man!
Thanks man! Certainly will be on the set list! Have you seen the dates yet Lukas? Hope to see you at one of them!
Another lovely, soulful, sublime and stress busting piece from Will. A brilliant guitarist and composer!
Thanks enormously, John!
Insane
Very nice.. as usual.
Thanks!
This is, again, such a beautiful piece, Will! And that guitar ... WOW! I wished I could afford one. See you soon in Freepsum!
All the best, Bernd
Thank you Bernd - excited to see you over there!
Magnífico sonido, precioso tema y sorprendente guitarra
Muchas gracias!
I feel lucky I could witness a first performance during the Brittany workshop, but you’ve taken it to new heights.
This piece is so technically rich (that build up with the tremolo…) but always at the service of the melody. Another home run! :)
Ah thanks so much, Thomas!
Beautiful tremelo on steel string :)
Thank you!
Magnificent! Amazing work. Thanks from Ukraine.
Thanks kindly, and greetings from the UK =) 🇺🇦 🇬🇧
Technically impressive playing Will, but also, just a good song. I like it. Impressive work!
Thank you, Alex.
Simply exquisite Tom. Is there a physical CD in the pipeline that will include this and your series of singles etc?
Thanks Phil. A CD of a collection of these singles is a nice idea - I’ll get my thinking cap on!
Well I'd buy it straight away - 'The Singles' + bonus tracks 😊
Nice choon! Snazzy socks too.
Cheers! Socks exceptionally important of course.
What tuning is this?!
Just a good old bit of standard here!
Can I like it twice?
Haha, you can certainly give it a go! Cheers Jon.
It's not the guitar that's sublime Will
Thank you (and the guitar helps for sure =))
Gorgeous!
Thank you!
