Ain't Nothin' Easy

It's been a week since my last post, so I pulled out another one of those "quick hits" I did recently. This particular one took a little under three hours. It has a couple of odd chords, one being a Dbm7flat5 with a G bass (Dbm7b5/G). I accidently played that chord when my fingers didn't go where I wanted them to on the fret board. But I liked the surprise chord a lot and decided to use it in this song. The most difficult part of the mix was that muted, "thumping" bg guitar on the left channel. No matter how I adjusted it with volume, panning and EQ, it always seemed to be too forward or too deep in the mix. This is as good as I could get it. I would like it to be just a tiny bit more forward, but even the slightest increase made it too loud. Oh well!

Apologies for my tardy replies on "In A Mood", my prvious post. Di had a health emergency on Tuesday. She is stabalized now, but her health continues to decline.

Anyway, hope you enjoy the song.

I replaced the original drum style and replace the EP with the muted rhythm. I kept the other RTS from the style and then added the lead guitar.
