bjornpdx 588 Posted November 29, 2020 The title says it all. Very well done. The song gets a bit predictable until 2:05 where you have a nice breakout. Great guitar playing. I'd suggest bumping up the tempo a few bpm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wookiee 879 Posted December 1, 2020 As I have said before anything that starts involuntary furry paw tapping along with a gentle furry head nodding by bar two has to be half reasonable. Nice easy gentle grooving. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AndyB01 131 Posted December 1, 2020 I'd agree with Bjorn on the tempo, possibly up the drums a notch and maybe add a tad more drive to that lead guitar - but it's all a question of taste and these are minor crits. I do like it more when the guitar gets busy in the middle section (good chops btw). Well done overall. Andy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kurt soderquist 78 Posted December 1, 2020 Thanks Andy. If I upped the tempo I'd have to re-record everything, I don't think I want to start over. Driving the amp more that would be easy, I'll check that out. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
emeraldsoul 1,074 Posted December 2, 2020 I like the overall mix quality and I didn't find it too slow. It does have some room for a bit more improv (I like the lead guitar section) - but I kept waiting for Herb Alpert or or David Sanborn to come in and blow it up! Also, just a thought, in certain sections you have two guitars and a keyboard playing more or less very similar parts at exactly the same time, in the 1:30 - 1:50 section for example. That choice might be where you could switch it up a bit? Overall, it lives up to Smooth and maybe just needs a bit more Fuze? Just a bit, more gratuitous solo noodling in the gaps would be my thought YMMV of course! cool tune! cheers, -Tom Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kurt soderquist 78 Posted December 2, 2020 I know what you're saying, the guitar and keys fight with each other a bit. I thought about just having the keyboard only on that part. Thanks for the comments. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I did that with a song once, fixed the tempo but the second one was never as good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mcmd 62 Posted December 4, 2020 I like it. Good tune and mix. Tasty performance with lots of space and balance for everything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
