Hi, I put these chords together to practice with and ended up turning it into a recording. The length of the track is probably a bit of an indulgence but I got a bit carried away..... The bass, drums and EP are all from the style 'Smooth Jazz Cool Slow'. The sax is 1054 Alto Soloist Smooth Jazz Cool Sw16 I'm playing an Epiphone Broadway gutar. https://soundcloud.com/user-663569023/island-daydreamStay well, stay cool Chris

Excellent, sounds like something Greg Johnson might do sans vocal. Maybe you two should collab!

You've a great feel for phrasing.
Nice tone.
I'm not sure if the reverb/delay on your guitar isn't causing a little muddiness to your tone.
Cheers

Hello Dave, I use Amplitube. Although I have some of the amp 'collections', that particular sound is the American Clean amp which comes with the basic app.

Hello Chris ...
This is our kind of music! Di and I do a lot of smooth jazz. Your guitar work is really nice. The sound somewhat reminds me of my Stromberg Monterey. i think you had the perfect amount of echo/delay ... just enough to extend the reach without being distracting. really, really nice! The length didn't bother me at all ... totally loved my listen!
Only suggestion I have is to bring the sax a little more forward in the mix and give a touch more reverb. But, all in all, this is a wonderful, rich sound that I enjoyed very much.
Wishing you the best. Be safe ...
Alan

Thanks Alan, I really like your productions and your suggestion was most welcome. I have made the suggested changes and it does improve the mix, at least to my ears. Your work here is excellent in terms of writing and performance and, of course, your playing and Di's singing. Thanks for your comments and thanks also to the others who have commented.

Chris, you have some excellent chops! Great mix also! That is one sweet guitar tone you have going on here.
Loved it!

Great arrangement and choice of style and instruments.
The backing is absolutely perfect and floats along so well with smooth, quality guitar work throughout.
Everything here fits so neatly together. Fabulous performance.

Chris,
Long enough to float away on your sweet tone and phrasing.
Nothing in the mix detracts and the sax breaks make for a nice conversation with your guitar.
Very enjoyable music!

The composition certainly dovetails with the style description ... smooth and cool.
Your nice tone and melodic playing work really well with the alto.
We enjoyed it!
