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.

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.

I'm digging the guitar work.

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

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


Cheers

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

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.


Enjoy whatever happens!

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

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

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

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

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!

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!
