That's some nice blues guitar. The tone and style remind me a little bit of Robin Trower, yet different. However, the overall mix sounds a bit muddy to me. The bass guitar is definitely there, but lacks definition, and is not well defined from the kick drum. The panning is very narrow to my ears, especially the drums. It could all use some widening, as I had to put my headphones on to hear the stereo. Is this a live recording? That might explain some of that. Usually, scooping some of the mid-lows from the bass instruments will clean up some of that murkiness. On the other hand, some of the world's classic recordings sound like this, and this may be what you want. Either way, it's a fine jam and a fun listen.

Thank you. It's not live. I'll do some tweaking and see what I can come up with.

The mix seems distant. Great guitar playing though.

Bass is muddy and the drums on the verb sound "almost" like the drums are in a different studio.
Playing is great. Tighten up the mix and it could be killer sounding.
At least do a HPF @ 80Hz on the bass and if it has reverb (which it sounds like it does) kill that. Maybe do a send to a chorus on the bass and blend that in.

Thank for the input. I only have about 10% of my hearing in my left ear. So, I'm constatly standing back from the mix and turning 180 to try to even things out. The bass doesn't have reverb on it, but the mic was pulled out away form the cab to let it breath a little. What do you mean by HPF @ 80Hz? Boost the High Pitch Freqs? Thank you.

Cut all frequencies from 80Hz

Nice playing, but have to agree with the comments Re the bass and drums.

I like this Tony not to much shredding either and that's a + in my book. The low freq. are are a bit porridge as we say in Sweden and could do with a cleansing via EQ. Nice Jamfeeling

Nice playing. It sounds like a live recording to me too. (which can be great for this lind of stuff) I can't comment on the mix because I'm listening on a laptop, but I love the guitar work!

Some very nice guitar playing. I agree about cleaning up the bass and altering the reverb on the drums. Have the drums got different reverb to the rest? Have you tried leaving off the reverb on the drums, and putting drums and guitar through the same reverb? The bass sounds reverbed, but if it's not, perhaps reduce the chorus a bit.
Best wishes,
Malcolm
