    Very nice!  Smooth and mellow with some spanish themes.  It reminds me of the country-rock songs in the 70's.  The mix needs a bit more in the low end.

    Hi Daryl , not bad for a man with a dead hand . Nice guitar tone and playing, especially the latin theme. Not to crazy about the drums, but that's my problem.


    Greetings, Rik

    Very nice tune and the usual excellence in playing.
    A couple of minor points on the mix and these are more me than anything else, the kit sounds just a little to wide, and the hand percussion too.  There sounds like a click at about 0:45 which could just be down to soundclick/mp3.
     
    Nice tune and thanks for sharing.

    Daryl,  Your playing sounds so effortless, natural and very melodic.
    Awesome tones.   What is your guitar set up on this?

    Thanks everyone. I really apprecisate the mix feedback.  Always happy when someone likes the music too.

    very nice Daryl. I hear plenty of bass on this, but i have some very  bass heavy headphones for using with my mp3 player. i love the change on pace in the middle of this, very creative, and not what i was expecting. i also like the hand percussion. as others have said, drums are well programmed, just a little unfocused. anyhow, all very very good, and of course the guitaring is top class.

    The bass and drums are totally inadequate for the level of your talent.  You should really drop the $150 to get EZDrummer or Addictive Drums or even one of the expansion packs for SD3.  It'll make your productions sound a lot better.

    Nice work Daryl. I see nothing wrong with the drums. Nice guit tone. Maybe a little subtle delay would be nice.

    Hey, Daryl,

    Really nice work on this classy smooth instrumental!

    Very tasty guitar playing, great clean tone, and I like the nice little synth and keyboard elements that fill out the clean, fresh sounding mix.

    Really good stuff, my friend!

    You really got your groove on here, Daryl. I agree with Tim on the suggestion of adding delay.

    Nice tune.  The tone you're getting out of that guitar and amp is superb.  The one thing I wasn't sure of is the base line with the 5ths on the guitar playing along.  For me it blurred the actual bass line... but I was listening with ear buds, not an ideal listening environment.

    The playing is nicely done.  Is there no bass on the tune, Daryl?  A deeper bass sound would fill this out.  IMHO!  Waddya want, I'm a bass player.  :-)

    I like the way you worked the Spanish thing in the center and then came back to your tune effortlessly. Nice clean tone... A guitar, an amp and a touch of reverb..... is all you need.

    you have an editing tick right there at :44 Daryl, and it sounds like maybe one at 1:20 and some other little places, but it may be something else. 

    I like the drums, and that snare. You have kind of a dire straights vibe going here? :-) I like the recording and performances.

    I didn't read the "instrumental" bit on your soundclick page first time round, so consequently spent most of the first listen waiting for the vocals to come in, so I listened again and still found myself waiting for the vox. Guitar playing sounds effortless as always, but it feels more like a track waiting for vox as opposed to a fully-fledged instrumental. Not really intended as a crit - just the way I heard it.

    I like what I said? But then again, I'm partial to me... I believe I'm pretty smart? And usually right.

    Nice playing Daryl. You always get such a nice tone out of your guitar, in fact I've always have been jealous of the incredible tones you can achieve. There are times when I think I've heard better tones come from you, but I'm convinced that you have mastered your instrument to the point that the real added tone comes from your incredible playing ability and this is certainly a great accomplishment under your circumstances. I applaud your talent, and love your style and ability and look forward to when you have the chance to bring us some more. Good Luck with everything!!!!

    WOW.. flow, smooth, performace all are very well done. Yes, the drum loops could be done a little cleaner but it really doesn't hurt the vibe of the tune or the mix for me.  GREAT piece/performance, KUDOS!
