Thanks, Mark for listening and the feedback. I did play it to record it, but it's midi, so I'll take a look at the velocities and play with them. Appreciate the comment.

Reminds me of an old saying - hug the musician, they never get to dance. Really enjoyed it.

Really impressive. It kept me interested through-out. I really enjoyed all the changes, and the sax player was great!

Aaj Jaane Ki Zid Na Karo is a famous song originally written by Fayyaz Hashmi. It's based on Yaman Kalyani raga. It's one of my father-in-law's favorite songs and he requested I record it, so this is my piano arrangement. As always, comments, suggestions, and criticisms are appreciated. Update : Based on the comments I softened the piano sound, played with the EQ, adjusted the midi velocities to try and smooth out the sound. Oh, and I also let the final notes fade out. Thanks everyone for the feedback. Jeff

Bjorn, Nigel, Makke, and Douglas, Thanks for taking the time to listen and comment. I really appreciate your feedback.

Impressive. I really enjoyed it.

I wish my "finished" stuff sounded have as unfinished as this. Beautiful.

I couldn't concentrate on the music until I turned my monitor off. Once I did, I really enjoyed the song. Loved the chord changes.

I really enjoyed it. I loved the acoustic groove and the Gibson sounds great. Fun lyrics. To be honest, the one the minor thing that didn't seem to sit quite right to me were the drums.

I've always liked oddball time signatures. Well done holding it together and maintaining the groove. That's tricky.

Love the guitar tones. Nicely done. I'm curious what you are using for the organ.

Very chill. I could see this being used in a road-trip montage of a Tarantino movie. Sounds great on my cheap headphones.

Day off from work - check. No kids in the house - check. New camera to play with -check. (ok, technically it's my wife's anniversary present, I'm just borrowing it...) Time to do some recording! Willie Fugal's Blues by Professor Longhair. One of my favorites.

Thanks so much! It's actually a mrindangam, not a tabla. It's from the south of India. I used the Native Instruments India vst.

For what it's worth, I can't take much credit for the guitar tone. It's basically a preset in Guitar Rig, that I tweaked a little bit. Thanks for the listen!

Thanks!

Thanks for the listen and the comment

Thanks! I stop after mixing. I wouldn't know how to master if my life depended on it.

Thanks for the feedback. I think you have a point. I may have to do a little bit of trimming.

Thanks, Tom. That's a good suggestion for the claps. I will try that out. Actually, the percussion is a mridangam. It's not as well known as the tabla. This song comes from the south of India, where they use different drums than the north, and the mridangam is common.

Hello everyone, It's been a while since I've posted. I hope every is staying safe and healthy. I finally got a chance to to do some recording. Mohanakalyani Thillana is a famous Indian Raaga. I've always loved it, my wife and I played it at our wedding, and I've always wanted to make my own version. I'd love to know what people think. Thanks in advance for the listen. Mohanakalyani Thillana
