Nice, Scott.

The slide is a terrific addition. The mix is nice - has a real "live" sound to it.

Scott,

Very sweet playing! To these ears this is one of your best - the two guitars sound lovely together.
Going to give Reaper mixing a try too - hope its not too painful to learn?

Thanks Peter, first attempt at adding a slide track. A few months back Tom A played a pedal steel on one of his tracks as the sound sort of stuck with me.

Thanks Dave for checking out the song. Yes I love the single coil pickups as well. Can get some very cool clean tones from them.

Thanks Floyd for checking the tune out. Glad you liked my first attempt at the slide. I am also glad you like the mix. This is something I new absolutely nothing about prior to purchasing BIAB. After 5 years I think I am just starting to understand the process. It is a whole new skill to learn. Being a part of this forum has been an excellent resource.
