“I'm excited to be a finalist in the 2018 Golden Guitar Awards for Instrumental of the Year,” Pye wrote on his Facebook page.
“Guitar instrumentals were a huge influence on my journey into music as a kid.
“If this track inspires some kid somewhere to pick up a guitar and have a go, then I'm happy with just that.”
The Golden Guitar Awards are held each January as part of the Tamworth Country Music Festival.
