Story behind the song
Very basic drums, bass, and keyboards to back up a melody I've been exploring that uses only "harmonic ring notes" using the octave, 1/2 octave, 1/4 octave, ect.. "touch" technique vs the open fretboard "pinch" method. Then I added a little whammy for magic and as many effects as I could dig up on my ME-50. Still learning on the electric drums ...

Michael, This song is fascinating with your hypnotic guitar work. You are so musically advanced, and know just where to play all of your instruments to make the song a beautiful Masterpiece. Thank you so much for your professional musicianship, sound work, arranging and production on our newest collaboration, "GYPSY".

This is a really well constructed and interesting instrumental, rolls along nicely, with a good melodic structure, and with some fab effect etc, a very enjoyable listen.
Groovy laid back instrumental cuz a great tune to just kick back and chill. Killer tone on the solo ^5
