Duelo de Navajas. Version of an old flamenco song

[Nio Sebez]

Hello colleagues, I share this instrumental song that I am doing. It's a version of an old flamenco song. I have put bass, drums and keyboards. I like the way it sounds. What is your opinion?

Thanks Jack for your words. The truth is that I also like how the bass is looking ?

Bravo! The guitar was a little too perfect I think, needs some swing and humanization.

Hello, thanks for commenting. What do you mean, solo or rhythm guitar?

The solo lead sounded too perfect to me.  Was it quantized?

Yes, I have quantized it a bit

It's nice - sparse but effective arrangement. The lead guitar might benefit from a tiny bit of humanisation/randomisation, and the note attacks sound quite rigid on the faster phrase openings. I enjoyed the listen though - well done!

Thank you. I can't do that humanisation with melodyne because is not midi, the sólo was played by myself with my guitar..

Nice song and good playing! I like the overall sound of the combo and the way you bring in the keyboard strategically. My only suggestion would be to try to vary the dynamics a little more. Maybe start off a bit more gradually, or even drop out everything except guitar at some point and build back up. 

Anyway, good work! Not sure if you're looking for suggestions but my comments are meant to be constructive so I hope they come across that way

I really liked the arrangement.   Guitar sounded great.   I do agree with other comments that the lead was maybe a little too quantized.

Thanks for your comments and for the suggestion. It is not actually finished, it lasts only 2 minutes and little. Possibly I will make some arrangement before closing it.

Yes, another colleague has already commented to me, possibly I will retouch that a bit before finishing it. Thanks! ?
