    Hi Rik,
     
    Listening now...
     
    There's the guitar to the left and a different guitar to the right.
     
    Are we talking about either one or the other, or both?
     
    Both sound like guitar, without a doubt.
     
    I'm not sure about the mic'd bit... I've not got much experience with mic'ing guitars, but these sound like there is no room ambience, or, in my case, if it was me, poor room sound.
     
    What are you up to, may I ask?

    Hi Andy, I'm mucking about with rematrix and a couple of acoustic guitar IR's . There's no ambience on this so I can hear better what Rematrix is doing ; ) To my ears it works ok on the rhythm part and sounds a bit to funky on the lead part. Just needed some fresh ears to listen to this.

    IMO the rhythm part sounds very natural.  The lead is a bit bright and doesn't seem to have as much space around it.  Although it's difficult to tell if the recordings themselves are part of that difference.

    Hi Steve, thanks for listening. Rhythm part ok, lead crap ; ) Just what I thought.  Uploaded a version with reverb and a bit less treble on the lead.

    Hi Rik,
     
    Verb sounds nice.
     
    Would you consider doubling the rhythm and moving the lead to centre? Just wondering

    Hi Andy, thanks, I normally double the rhythm and put the lead in the middle, this  is just a sound test at the moment. Panned it hard left and and right to hear it better ; )

    Hello Rik,
     
    Really like it. Good sync to hear, would love to hear a version without the panning. The first strum at 00:02 amazing. What kind of guitars do you use?
     
    Regards,
    Kane

    Hi,Kane, thanks for listening. First strum is a slow rake of the plectrum starting at the high e. The guitar is a Ovation Celebrity Elite Koa.

    Rik....I was just thinking of a second guitar by year-end but not very sure how to go about choosing. The present one is around 4 years old - working fine - but may be I want something that's more suitable for rhythm than for lead. Any suggestions?

    Hi Kane, there's no such thing as a rhythm or a lead guitar imho, it's just what you play that matters. My advice would be to go to a musicstore and play a lot of guitars and find one that "speaks"to you, there's always one.

    I'm just gonna echo what SteveC said.  I guess I'm not sure what I am supposed to listen for.  There is a link at the top and bottom of your post.  The top one was really strange and I didn't listen long.  Rik, am I missing something?

    Hi Warren, long story short, I removed it, thanks for the effort though.
