Nice, nice work. 
 
I would use the word "lush" to describe the instruments in this.... Loved the inversions and bass not playing on the root in a number of places.... bells are perfect.
 
Really well done.  I could see where some soaring, singing , wailing (as you say) guitar could fit into the early parts of the song.... Kinda a Santana Europa sound.... singing sweet smooth gain.... BUT.... what you DID play in there is super tasty, so I wouldn't be sweating over what could have been.




Thanks Herb! Overall, I am happy with the way it turned out, and you get exactly what I'm talking about with your Santana reference, though I was thinking a bit more bluesy.

Very well done.

This is exactly what I love to put on the iPod and play at work when I need to focus and blow through a pile of work.

Perfect.

It's hard to really expand on what others have said. You did a very nice job on this Dan. Love the feel of it. I thought the guitar parts sounded fine, maybe a touch heavy on the delay at times, but still sounded good. I liked the organ part as well(I just bought VB3 a couple weeks ago. LOVE IT!). I agree that maybe the sax could come up a tad. But overall the mix sounds excellent. You should be proud of this. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks Bob!  I will likely boost the sax a bit, but only enough to uncover it a little more. I don't want it to compete with the guitar parts   After I was done recording the guitar parts and started mixing, I realized that the printed delay from the guitar was creating a timing feel issue. I should remember to record the dry signal as well in the future. I had to do some surgery using a parallel delay line to solve that one, but it did get away from me in a couple of spots.

You were worried about the guitar playing ---- really  ---- sounds good to me!!!  This number has a great laid back feel, good production, good performance, and is very tastefully done. I love that bass that IMHO carries the song along.

Thanks Freddy! I wasn't so much worried as I was wanting it to be better than it is, if that makes sense. I know my limitations as a player.

yeah, agreed, words like 'lush' and 'tasteful' come to mind when listening to this cool tune. Very smooth indeed. The gt parts are just perfect. Nice job around.

Nice mix and quality arrangement. Maybe the soundtrack to a remake of planes, trains and automobiles - the picture made me think of Steve Martin and John Candy :)
