The acoustic is quite low in the mix and disappears when the lead comes in. Nice electric lead work. Very fluid. Love the tone and sustain. Perfect. A little bit of Toto in this one for me. Nice work.

Excellent James! Terrific guitar harmonies and the song production is huge sounding on my monitors! Powerful & energetic. I like the percussion used on this. Good hooks and melodic. The middle 8 section was a nice touch too. Uplifting. I like the mix as well.

James, this is great! Guitar work is excellent and the drums are deep and strong! Very good composition!
And, oh - I love the title

This is a great sounding track with the acoustic and electrics working so well together. Your playing and production skills are both top notch! I enjoyed listening to Carpe Diem a lot!

Beautiful track that swing like a joyful soul, this is definitely the trademark of JDK music. Like before, you bring enchanted music in a way delivering the sensational right into the soul. I love the way you anchor the guitar in such neat passion, love it till the last note. With million of love from Singapore. Piperon - One and Only spiritual flute player on Earth.

Intelligent design and mature writing James. And your performances are definitely up to the task. Very enjoyable and well thought out in all respects, including the production....Blake

Beautifully done this - the double melody really sings out. Some lovely changes and half-changes in the harmony too - specially the second to third chords towards in the sequence towards the end. If this is a keyboard, you've got the technique perfect, and I wanna know where you get that sound from!
Great relaxing track to wake me up this morning. Thanks James! Chris

Sweet tune, James. This has a great feel to it and the chord progression is very appealing. Nice backdrop for an outstanding lead guitar performance. Tune in early tomorrow for SNR on Mix Radio ... you are on the air, my friend. Show starts at 6pm ET!!!

Very fine guitar work. Like the percussion, well focused. You always have your cool original guitar sound that is distinctively you. Very melodic; fine tone on that guitar playing. Such fluid phrases; most inspiring. Love the backup here. Well thought through. btw -fine bass.
A most fine arranging and FAB production.
Really enjoy this one. Into my faves.
EXCELLENT my friend. -Vesa.

Hi David, wonderful Track from You!
I love this Track!
<span style="font-size: small;"><em>James David Knight is a composer, guitarist/keyboard player who has been playing various musical instruments for 40 years. His first instrument was the clarinet; then alto saxaphone; then the baritone saxaphone. He then discovered the guitar... and his life was changed forever.<br /><br />Knight has strong influences in acoustic, electronic, and classical genres. Although his main instrument is the guitar, his most recent exploits have been sequencer and synthesizer-based Theme Music, with emphasis on Soundtrack and Computer Game material. <br /><br />His compositions are usually theme and concept-driven, where the music usually dictates the theme, and from there "feel follows functon". Knight indicates that it is impossible for him to focus on any particular genre, while still maintaining his signature sound with soaring guitar riffs.<br /><br />Incidentally, much of the guitar solo voices heard throughout his music are produced using a synthesizer keyboard. However, his main instruments consist of:<br /><br />Fender USA Stratocaster w/GK3 MIDI pickup,<br />Gibson Les Paul Studio,<br />Epiphone SG Doubleneck (modified),<br /><br />Takamine 'Nashville' acoustic/electric,<br />Takamine 'New Yorker' KOA parlor guitar,<br /><br />Korg Triton Extreme synthesizer, w/Karma option,<br />various other synthesizer modules,<br />Roland GI-20 MIDI convertor,<br /></em></span><span style="font-size: small;"><em>various drum machines,</em></span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><em><br /></em></span><span style="font-size: small;"><em> Peavey Classic Chorus stereo amp,<br /></em></span><span style="font-size: small;"><em>various effects processors and microphones.</em></span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><em><br />In 1994 Knight released his first CD, intitled 'Leap Of Faith'. He will be releasing his second CD, titled 'Works' later this year. The title song for this album may be heard here.<br /><br />Thanks for listening. </em></span><br />
