    I warmed up to it slowly, but by 1:09 I was into it.  Neat sounding piece.

    I like it, got a nice vibe to it. I like the look of that Les Paul too!

    I'd like to hear a stronger melody over the top of this, but it is excellent! Really nice tones and instruments.

    I'm with Dan on this, there is certainly room for another melody line, nothing too busy mind. But you have crafted a really nice piece of music that has been well recorded and mixed.

    Thanks all for the comments. @ Dan and Adrian, I tried several things with regard to another melody line, but felt that it came off sounding too busy. As a result, I went with the "less is more" philosophy this time. @ James, I've had that Les Paul since I was 16. It's a 1977 Gibson Les Paul Artisan. Of all the guitars I've had, it's still my favorite.

    I really liked that...   While I could also hear a relatively simple vocal line (or lead melodic instrument) riding over top, I don't know that I'd change anything as it is - I think the arrangement + mix are great together.
