A Definite MaybeA Smooth Jazz guitar instrumental I threw together a few days ago as Di was napping. A fairly simple arrangement with just the necessary, basic tracks. I kept it pretty simple. I tried to EQ the lead guitar track to get a Mark Knopfler sound, according to my old ears ... not necessarily a Dire Straits overall sound ... just MK on the lead. I got it as close as I could. This is another pretty quick project ... maybe 6 hours total, so it probably has a few warts that need to be exposed and remedied. There are some artifacts in the lead guitar track, particularly at 0:19 and 2:18. They appear to be indigenous to the track as every time I rerecorded it, they were still there. Not much I can do about that, I guess. Thanks in advance for your listen and any comments/suggestions you might care to leave for me. Hoping everyone stays safe and well. Take care.

Alan,
ANOTHER great instrumental. Has all the elements that it needs. An excellent listen.
A good Knopfler sound without sounding TOO much like him. A good balance, I think. The "Dire lead" RT that comes with BIAB always sounds TOO much like Mark (I think) - which makes it hard to use - it is SUCH a unique identifiable sound (tone and style).
Terrific.

Dear Alan,
well, if that is wahat's gonna happen when Di takes a nap, I can only wish her many many hours of the most sweet dreams. So cool, so great to listen to ...
No matter what you're coming up with: Your songs are aöways 'round' - everything in place, everything combined so tastefully.
Loved the tone of the guitar - think that was the right choice.
Had to smile when I read 'RIESLING.STY - you know that Gross-Umstadt, the small town we're living in, calls itself 'The Wine Island' and Riesling is one of the , if not THE, major sort of white wine.
Well, let me take the chance and raise a glass of it to another great composition of yours: Prost! (Well, I'll actually have to postpone it, because it
s still about 10 a.m. and the 'lushes' sun' hasn't yet risen...)
All the best, special regards to the 'Sleeping Beauty' and please stay cautious and healthy,
Stefan

Terrific.
fj Hello Floyd ... I'm pleased this sits nicely in your ears. And thank you for the accolades. And yes, I wasn't trying to emulate Mark ... just wanted an inflexion of his technique and touch. I've always enjoyed the tone of his guitar but didn't want to go all the way there (kept a little more higher EQ than he typically does). Again, many thanks! be safe ... Alan

Guten Tag, mein Fruend Vielen Dank für die sehr netten Komplimente. Ich werde demütigt! You are always so kind with your reviews of my music. I'm never sure how to reply! Please know that I appreciate all your kindness. Perhaps I should give more sleeping pills? Ha! And yes, I am aware of the Reisling wine production in your area. I've was in your hometown back in the 1980s ... can't remember the exact date. But I do remember I had an appointment in Darmstadt. I hope your visual issues are stabilizing and that Maha recovers. Di and i think of you and Maha almost every day. Many sincere thanks for your kind review! Also, I loved your latest post ... the video is hilarious! Please be safe ... Alan & Di

Smooth and a lovely progression - well done. HI Ray ... Thanks so much! This one just kind of found its own way and I followed. The only real "work" I put into it was getting the desired tone on the lead guitar. Wishing you the very best. Take care and be safe ... Alan

Nicely done as usual, am listening several times now, enjoying it with my lunch.
I think the problem with the MK lead RT is not that it makes everything sound like MK but it makes everything sound like Sultans of Swing. At least that's my experience with it. I'm still determined to find good use for it one of these fine days.
Thanks for this, Al!

Well done Al!
You are a highly talented machine stamping out one after another great BiaB instrumentals with remarkable consistency.
The hinted Knopler vibe was very cool as we are big fans of his playing and tone.
Great soundstage on our monitors ... just kick back and listen with no parsing needed.
Excellent!
J&B
