Hello Scott C,

Very nice guitar solo. The reverb is perfect, the brass are perhaps too much in the background while their backing line is perfect. Very pleasant piece, the outro is a bit abrupt. The mix may need to be reviewed. But that's good in this composition.

Kindly regard

Scott, you have some extremely nice chops going on here! Love that axe's tone. Super mix.

To nitpick I would eliminate the sax while you are playing. I found it to be a little distracting. Between your leads it was OK. Also you might want to clean up that ending.

Overall this is very good.

Nice jam. Some good licks in there.

Enjoyed the listen.

I'm digging the guitar work.

Have to echo the comments on the strings in the background.

Sweet sounds. That is some fine picking. Nice job. Band kept good time too.

That delay really hangs well.
Sax is fine but I'd rather hear your guitar.
Cool stuff & nice to hear where Swoon came from.

Hi Scott,

A beautiful solo on your guitar. What a very nice sound that guitar has! But that was to be expected from someone who plays as marvelous as you!
I agree though with comments about the sax (too far way, but it is also not really necessary in this song), the mix (the other instruments can be brought a bit more foreward) and the end (too sudden).
But that says nothing about the lovely melody you made, only some adjustments to improve the 'mood' of this song.

Have a nice day,
Hans

Nice little track Scott! You always gave a sweet tone on your guitar! Take care, T

Excellent chops, Scott. Man, that delay really makes those strings pop. What a good sound all around. If I was the sax player, I'd say, "Hey, Scott, you're burying me, man." But as a listener I'm glad.

Wow, I really enjoyed this one! Flows tremendously well - and the saxophone worked really well despite being as quiet as it was. The guitar is really star of the show, and that's a-ok by me. Thanks for sharing smile

Sounds good, Scott, great tone and melodic playing as per usual.

Scott,

You've developed a nice signature tone. Nice playing.

You kept my ear interested throughout. Cool tracks...

Thanks for checking out the song. Yes there are some rough patches in the song. This is more of a working copy of a song that went on to Robert for vocalization. Gals you liked it

Thanks Hans for checking out the song. Thanks for the comments on the mis. This was a rough draft of a song we were going to develop into a vocal. Will play with mix and see if I can tune it up

Tasty little interlude, Scott. It would be interesting to see how that translates to words.
Posted By: Scott C Re: Full Deck Shuffle - 11/24/20 11:25 PM
Thank to everyone for checking out the song it is very much appreciated

Good atmospheric piece Scott.
I would bring up the background a tad and alternate play between guitar and sax.

Some super sweet playin' Scott!

Nice jam Scott.

Our only nit is that it could've gone on and on for a while! smile

Your licks and that tone just draws one immediately into the tune.

Nice J&B
Posted By: HearToLearn Re: Full Deck Shuffle - 12/02/20 10:48 PM
Nice job! I agree with Mario. Maybe only take it out when you're playing. Your playing is too good not to be center stage!

Cool song!
Posted By: Deej56 Re: Full Deck Shuffle - 12/03/20 01:40 AM
Scott,

Looks like you’re received a lot of good feedback on this one—I agree regarding the sax; it doesn’t add much, IMHO. But the song regardless is a terrific jam. Great playing as usual.

Good work!

Best regards,

Deej
