The lead is me, after listening to some of the generated solos. Took me 10 tracks of recording the solo, then cutting and pasting the best parts into the final solo track within my DAW. Thank you, arthritis! Any way, trying to be original with this one. In The Mood Any hints as to what this could be classified as? Thanks in advance.

I'd call is "cool jazz" or "smooth jazz" - or just "enjoyable music". The rythym guitar - the real fast chord changes - are a bit too much "up front" - they "get in the way" of your lead (and it's good enough "to shine" - let it) - knock that back a bit and let your lead instrument "take the lead".... I enjoyed it. floyd 150+ Songs produced using BIAB RealTracks And 50 more... and some more...

I had a feeling that the lead was a bit too much in the back (or, blended in too much, not standing out). Thanks again!

I agree with Floyd, the solo should be a little more up front thru-out the song. other than that, is pretty enjoyable.

It was wonderful to listen to. Have you tried this with BossaRock percussion in Realdrums? I found myself wondering how it would sound with a Latin lilt to the rhythm. A very enjoyable listen!
