Hello Dave and Marty
Very nice collaboration from both of you
A really very good mix
The sound is very good
Just like the matching vocals
Marty does his thing as usual sovereign and very good
Your guitar solos are extremely good
the guitar sound is absolutely top class
What technique do you use to get the Guitarsound
like this, if I may ask ?
Great work guys
Many greetings
Andi ;-) Hi Andi, Thanks so much for the positive comments! Ok, you asked about my guitar sound. Many people will tell you that the only way to get a good sound is to mic a tube amp. I'm not one of those people  I plug my guitar directly into my interface (Focusrite Scarlett 2I4) and process the sound using a software amp simulator. There are many amp simulator programs out there these days, some are really good and some are bloody awful. The one I use was recommended to be by Tom Adams, an excellent guitarist/songwriter/producer that posts on this forum sometimes, and is the Scuffham S-Gear 2 ( https://www.scuffhamamps.com/). They don't try and offer 50 different amp simulations, instead they chose 5 and concentrate on doing them very well. Out of the 5, there are 2 that I use for the music I do, depending on the song. In addition to using the amp sim, I almost always use an additional plugin to add some more processing, mostly reverb and delay, and most of the time the one I use is CLA Guitars from Waves. This goes after the output of the amp sim. Sometimes I will also use a software emulation of a tube screamer before the amp sim, the one I use is a free one from a company called mercuriall ( https://mercuriall.com/cms/details_freestuff), however most of the time I find the distortion provided from the amp sim is all I need to get the sound I want. The advantage of using the sim is that I can change my mind after I have done the recording, because the sound I have recorded is the direct output of the guitar, not the output of a guitar amp. Also of course it's totally quiet, I can record using my headphones without bothering my wife, very important! Hope this helps!

Smok'n Hot!
Guitar & Bass driv'n hard.
Vocals couldn't be better!
No need for more lyrics, you got all you need!
moto
Yeah, that's what Marty told me too. Thanks, moto! Hi Dave,
This is my kinda music.
Excellent guitar work.
Not sure why your voice is so far in the background - you have a good voice and you sing in tune. I would like to hear it more upfront.
Best Regards
Nigel Thanks, Nigel, appreciate that! For me the vocal is sitting just about where it needs to be overall, although there might be a few sections that could come up a bit. What I do with mixes, always, is to come back to the mix after a week or so of not hearing the song, I always find hearing it with fresh ears helps me hear things I missed the first time around.

Dave & Marty
Great playing throughout, melodic and tasteful. Excellent.
Good vocal and a great tune to listen to.
Good stuff.
Peter Thanks, Peter! I always thought blues were an excuse for guitar players to do a lot of soloing. This pretty much proves me right! You and the band - even the Marty! - sound great haha, thanks, David!

This poem certainly rhymes, down in Canada. Good driving blues, excellent playing. Doesn't need more words to enjoy the virtuosity.

Dave and Marty,
Really good blues!
Cool guitar!
Rob and Anne-Marie Thanks, guys! cool shuffle.
GREAT GEETAR PLAYING.
only thing i felt was maybe just make the lead a smidge cleaner.
irrespective superb musical talent displayed in this song.
also liked the organ and the subtle rhythm playing on one side of the stereo image.
happiness.
om Happy you liked the playing! Yeah man. THAT shuffle!
Great performances by both of you. Vocal sounded fine in the mix to us.
And, no surprise, every thing about the mix is high bar.
Bud really wishes when he runs out of words he could pick up the guitar and do half what you do.
Y'all got that Tony Joe kinda dark swampy vibe going ... and that is excellent in our book.
Enjoyed it!!!
J&B Love Tony Joe White! One of my all time favorites for sure. Thanks Janice and Bud, very much appreciated!
