If you do a remix at some point , I think I would treat the guitar differently. Maybe just a reverb ? I built an adaptor to hook the bagpipes to an air tank. I had trouble with the pressure release valve and almost exploded them. Now they are just wall art with the other things I can't play. ms

Thanks everybody for the listens and Great comments and suggestions. It took a while to get it to the point where I'm ready to surrender. Special thanks to @garybrun for another Great mastering job. Later .. mark

Enjoyed that. Scott sure Nailed the vocals. I think I would spread the instruments out a little and make a little more room for the vocals. Still .. Very good as it is. I bought a set of bagpipes once just to cover this song. Never did learn how to play them.. Enjoyed it . mark

Nice playing. I sure wish I was on a warm beach listening to this. Enjoyed it .. mark

I downloaded Prefix and tried this yesterday. Very Good results after some tweeking. I found a sweet spot sliding 8ms on the copied guitar track. I did some A/B tests against my best widening plugins , this was a winner. Thanx . ms

Absolutely Killer guitar work. ! This takes me back to when all I listened to was Steely Dan and Jazz Fusion bands. Loved it .. ms

Excellent ! beautiful and haunting sounds. Very Creative weaving and layering . Loved it. ms

Great Production ! I really didn't miss the harmony that I was wanting to hear while watching the video. I really enjoyed it .. ms

Beautiful tribute. My heart goes out to you. Honestly , I don't know how I could survive what you've been thru. Inspired .. mark

Hello , I replaced the L/R Di guitars with a LaPatrie nylon (SM57). The upright bass guitar was replaced with an electric. (except for the intro). Quite a bit of under the hood work carving some space and trying to settle things down. @treesha , bumped the highs up a little on the vox. Thanx . Thanks Michael, nitpicking is what I want ! I think I settleled it down a good bit and got better seperation. I also had some Major conflicts with the bass and cello. @SteenE , Vox bumped up a little. I've been going back and forth every time I listen. Things I'm not sure of - 1. Main vox level. 2. Whether to replace the intro upright bass. 3. Intro electric guitar volume. Thank You for the listens and your feedback .. ms

Great vocals Barry ! Very cool lyrics and Really Nice guitars. I heard a single guitar/vocal song the other day and immediately liked it. Realized afterwards he sounded like you but not as refined. Enjoyed it .. mark

OK , so .. I've got it laid out the way I want. Now I'm going to start replacing tracks. I've got about 18 that have been "frozen" , cut up and moved around. Not very effeciant (I know). This was built from an instrumental I did in 2020 with some additional tracks. I've learned a little bit since then (with your help) and I'm going to try and bring it up to par. @KSband , Thanks .. Yee Haw is how I felt. I probably posted it a little early though .. @timboalogo , You wouldn't think I am much of a player if you saw how many times I hit "undo". I'm going to try my best to improve this one. Hang in there , it's probably going to take me some time .. I was kind of dissapointed when it was over but now I realise how much work is left to be done .. Thanks .. mark

Hey Michael , I Really like this one. You made a good choice of instruments to convey the groove and feeling of this one. The pedal steel guitar is Fantastic. Great tone and performance. Sure wish I had one and could play it . Who is on the acoustic ? It's very nice as well and played with a Great style. The backing and especially the flutes really rounded it out. Loved it all. It did take me a few times through to appreciate the middle breakdown though. Great Job .. mark

Well .. all I can say is this is a strange one for me. I Really enjoyed doing it ! 😁 All crits , comments and suggestions welcomed. The link now reflects my Final mix and mastered by Gary Brun. 2/14/25 https://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=14937445

Great song to cover! I don't think I've ever known an acoustic player who didn't learn at least the intro to this one. Heard your Great covers , and think you could "nail" this one with a little more work. Nice .. ms
