Your lead work is lovely.
I REALLY wish you'd pan it centre stage where it belongs and where the arrangement can wrap around and support it.


Cheers

Ermar,

This is a really nice listen. Great tone and very melodic playing... As Ray noted, your guitar deserves to be "center stage"...

Enjoyed

Nice instrumental! Very fluid and melodic playing, nice tone too.

What Ray and Floyd mean by "center stage" is the way you have panned that lead guitar.

Because it is the featured instrument it should be panned center or close to center, you have it hard panned to the left.

Super nice chops! As a guitarist myself I really liked this!


OK, a random thought;
Why does toilet paper need a commercial? Who's not buying it?

Ermar,

This is a stunning composition. You are definitely a master melody writer and arranger! As I sat here listening, words and phrases that floated through my mind included: wonderful music, sophisticated, he's very comfortable with Latin music, a fine presentation, so much musicianship, beautiful guitar playing, the work of a master craftsman...

You sure know how to make your guitars sing! Everything about this composition shines with skill and competence.

All the best,
Noel

Thank you all guys!

Sorry for not answer before...I was daddy-sitting my "little" kids for 20 days and was almost impossible to do other things... :-D

Starting tomorrow I'll go on holidays until the first days of December, and as soon I'll returning from my Peruvian holidays I'll try to start again composing and recording.

Thank you all for keeping me motivated.

Big hugs for everyone!
