YAY! I finally got Sound Cloud to play!

Ok, you kind of surprised me on this one, Eric... usually you play guitar for more of the song, but on this one you waited for fully half the song. Nice change-up from the usual!

We all love your guitar tone, and I've asked before about your setup... but I don't remember if you feed directly from your effects pedal into the audio interface... or do you mic your amp? Whatever you're doing sure results in a consistently pleasing sound!

My only nit is one I've expressed before, and that is the lack of a definable melody. In an instrumental song unless there is a clearly recognizable melody it comes across as more of a jam session than a composition. People who use only Real Tracks without actually playing an instrument are at a disadvantage, because they can't easily dictate what the RTs play in order to create a recurring theme or melody. But since you do play an instrument, it is especially noticeable if you don't use it to craft a melody.

Having said that, I do think that jazz fusion as a genre tends to be more "jammy" and free flowing, so maybe I shouldn't listen to your songs in the context of more traditional melodious projects. As a session player, you have the addition of decorative fills down to an art! And the jazz fusion styles are well suited to what you are doing, I think.

Thanks for continuing to faithfully post your songs to the forum! You are one of the regulars here, and I appreciate that!

Really enjoyable, a great blend of RT and some slinky/smooth guitar playing, as others have noted. I do agree with Pat that with your obvious guitar talents, it would be fun to hear what you might do with a more specific melodic line on something like this, perhaps a theme-and-variations sort of thing, I don't know. It's not that jazz-based jamming isn't fun to listen to - there are melodic and chromatic surprises to keep the ears engaged, and you do that very well.

Thanks,
Bruce
