I've got to get back here more often. This has really nice movement to it Mark. Real clean notes, and all pretty much in the right place. Just the right amount of this and that. This reminds of Bad Idea for some reason. Not a bad thing at all.

Thanks Randy.  Got your email and sent one back.

Thanks Larry,  The more I listen to this one, the more I think I need to add another verse, so I my be building onto it sometime soon.

Mark,
You've won me over as a fan in the past, but this one really reeled me in. Nice work, my friend! That Strat sounds real nice in there. Keep up the great work!

Hi Mark.  Long time no see.  I like this one.  Especially the solo work.  Great tone.

Paul

Nice work. production, tones, playing, and writing.

Update:  new version posted.  I redid the bass using mix of miked bass amp and direct out from the bass amp.

Yep, you definintely sound like you might have played that thing before ! ;)

No real crits here, all sounds like it's meant to to my ears.

 Awesome tones and playing Mark!

Hey your the guy that did golden sky. This tune is great. I like how the beginning works it's way into the main riff of the song. Also it's nice how the prominence of that riff gets to peek out here and there. Your tone and playing sound great. You've got a good mix of a modern lead tone but still retain a classic rock vibe. It's a nice balance.

Sorry Warren, didn't mean to skip you back there.  I appreciate your comments.

Thanks Jimmy.

Thanks Paulo.

Thanks Joshua, the drum loops are from the Drums on Demand library.  They have some really good loops that you can do a lot of things with.

Thanks ohgrant.

Thanks dke.

Thanks rhynosynth.  yeah I did golden sky and a couple of hundred others.  Appreciate your comments.

Howdy Steve.  Appreciate the listen.  Thanks for the comments.

Really like this tune. I aint listening on studio monitors right now so I can't comment much on the mix more than it translates well and sounds really good (listening on JBL Duet 200).

Bass re-do is nice.  I think it could even come up some more.

Some great licks on this, but it didn't flow as well melodicly as most of your compositions.  It was good, but I've always come to expect these real melody based themes, and this one seemed to be not quite as melodic. 

I've always been impressed with your solos that are not just a bunch of riffs thrown together, but rather very lyrical with a mesage to convey and they develop logically.

You are the rock guitar machine!  In the 60s and 70s, when chicks actually liked guitar players, you would have been setting on top of the world.  Now days, chicks don't care about musicians, except they still like drummers for some reason.  Must be a primal thing.

James,thanks for stopping by again.

Legion, Thanks for the comments.  Glad to hear it translates on your system.

Thanks Ed.  I'm almost there.  I'm replacing the drums and will repost soon.

Thanks Daryl.  I'll have to disagree about the flow.  The style is a bit different than my usual stuff and maybe that is what you're hearing.  It's more of a '70's classic rock inspiration.

Thanks James.  I have to agree with you on amps versus sims.  There are folks that get great results with sims, but I bet they'd get even better results with the real deal.  Agree about the drums.  They're getting replaced and I think that will help the bass some.

The guitar and mix is very good. Now you just need some edgy lyrics and strong vocal:-)

There were a lot of comments on the old drums.  Any opinions on the new ones?
