This was interesting - Knopfler-esqe riffs plus synths and organs.
That's a combination I really haven't heard before.
Cool!

Cool guitar riffs. I was unsure about the synths but they were very cool as well. Super playing...

Hello Brian
Very good song
Have also experimented a few times with the 511 solo guitar
But I have never been able to get as good results as you did
Did you work with the MultiRiff function ?
Well done
Many greetings
Andi ;-)

Hi Andi,
Thanks for your comments,
No, I have never investigated "Multi-Riff" and have no clue what to do with it. I just loaded DIR-FSL.STY and let the solo guitar do its thing. I assume the results are due the chord progressions chosen.
Cheers,
Ghostgum

An enjoyable piece. Driven, lots of energy.
Those Dire tracks are so distinctively Dire-ish. They really make it sound like you have Mark Knopfler playing for you.
Nicely mixed.

Hi Ghostgum.
This is such a great listen.
I'm sitting here with my headphones on and really enjoying where you're taking me.
I love the instruments, the mix, the arrangement and the production.
You've done a great job!

Noel Thanks, Noel. Coming from someone with your expertise, that in not faint praise. You were listening to version 1. You might prefer version 3: https://soundcloud.com/user-427542889/an-element-of-risk-1Cheers Ghostgum

Hello Ghostgum,
Upbeat and tasty!
The tone of the solo guitar is completely different, but the overall sound reminds me of The Ventures.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
