Groovey. Addictive sounds good and works well. Certainly not getting in the way. Nice cymbal wash. Nice picking. Can't tell about the tape sim, but the production sounds clean and open.

Awesome Clint - I love it! You're a gifted guitarist, and this song is just flat out groovy and beautiful.
I agree about the AD and especially the Tape Sim. I'm loving X3!!

Oh and... COMPING. Sorry. Just had to add that in! Comping is amazingly awesome.
I would also be saying something about Lounge Lizard if I didn't already own it. ;)

8:30 AM here in Amsterdam, I'm just having my 2'nd coffee and the first rays of sunshine are entering my home studio. I't looks like it's gonna be a good day. I've got a little time on my hands, so why not poking around in sonar's song forum a bit before I start my daily tasks. Hey! a clintmartin original!!! I click on the link and instantly this smooth guitar lick opens a super cool and relaxed groove carrying a very catchy theme. Yeah, this sounds good. Perfect tune to start my day. Not to busy but yet interesting enough to make me hang on. I lean back, thinking I'm going to enjoy this for a while...
...But what's that!!!??? Oh, no!!! All of sudden, out of the blue and totally unexpected: The music stops...

Hey Clint
I really enjoyed this piece. Loved your choice of tones and your performance was just EXCELLENT. This really had a nice blend of modern meets classic vibe. The intro guitar reminded me a bit of John Mayer and the jazz tones had a Wes Montgomery flair. The mix sounds great on my end and nice work on the percussion. GREAT JOB!

@drumstixkev...Thanks a lot! I think we all think of Wes Montgomery when we here octaves. It's such a signature of his. I would have to say Eric Johnson would probably be the ispiration although not on purpose. I'm just a huge fan of his. Thanks for listening.

Thanks man! Have you got X3 and Gobbler? I've got some more stuff I'll be working on if you want to play drums, I think that would be fun. I don't have the room, mics or talent to record drums as they should be.

 Wow, the smoothness, timing, crisp clear sound is all pro. I don't know whether to use it as inspiration or just go ahead and throw my guitar away! My fingers just won't listen to me. A terrific piece. CaptG

Thanks for listening everyone and for the comments. I think this might be my best job mixing so far. It's nice that all of that reading may be paying off a little. @Yorolpal I live 19 miles south of Fort Smith in a little town called Witcherville. I believe you said before your from Little Rock?

Nice. I really enjoyed that smooth jazz styling. Just enough of a funky groove to keep it interesting.

I like this for sure... sounds like something I would do (I'm a sucker for octaves). Very nicely played, melodic and not over done. Just what I like.

Clint, this is so smooth and natural that I'm at a loss for words. I close my eyes, and it sounds like your in my room. This gets an A+ in my book.

@Freddy J...Thanks Freddy. I'm sincerely thrilled that a guitar man of your ilk would like it.
@darylcrowley...Thanks man! I like them Octaves too. I'm guilty of over playing sometimes so I'm glad I didn't screw this one up! Hahaha.
@Lynn...Wow an A+! Thanks for listening and for the kind words.
