OK - hi everyone. Here's a new tune I wrote and recorded - "Slackin' It."

great tune. kept me listening.
at times a bit too much presence on the guitar tones(for me)
the main nit would be the buzzing noise which appears 3 or 4 times...

Hi Mark,
OOh, I love the swampy feel of this track, especially during the slow beginning and when the bass comes in and it and the guitar start playing together.
This might be an odd point to mention, but I really enjoyed the precise intonation of your bends. It's very cool and unusual to be able to deliver a loose, spontaneous feel while maintaining pristine pitch like that.
Thanks very much for the great listen!

Very nice...     For me, the first and third sections have an almost Sleep Walk feel to them in both your use of bends and general ambiance, while the middle section is just diggin' into the groove daddy-o.   

Dusty cowboy boots
Desert cactus
Lizard scurrying along
Sweat off a bottle of beer
 
That intro is to die for

The tune kept me interested. Nice mix of guitar tones. Nice changes.
 
Personal choice: would have loved some drums and bass in the "middle section".

Hi Mark, nice tune and tones,like it ; )  What guitar did you use ?

bapu - thanks man. I didn't do drums because - well, because I just didn't feel like it. But, there is a bass guitar in the middle section. I'm not much of a bass guitar player - so I just kind of follow the rhythm guitar - it may not stand out much.
 
Cian - thank you so much - I'm not the best guitarist - so I have to work on tasty - thanks again for taking a listen.
 
Hi Rikkie - how are you. I used two guitars - the "rhythm guitar" the one I used for the intro part was a Paul Reed Smith - I used a 335 for the lead. I played them both through a Pod XtLive. Thanks for the good thoughts.
 
Howdy Lynn. Yea, there is a bit of buzz on some notes - but the patch I use in my Pod XtLive (I don't use amps) is nice and clear at times - but it does have a bit of buzz to it at certain times. Thanks for taking the time.
 

Cakewalk forums should add a Like/Love hear button. 
 
This is raw and REAL to listen to, that's what I am trying to go after, not polished stuff wasting away the artist which some call "TRANSIENTS" which are actual playing the instrument. 
 
Great stuff man!!!!! I'm a Fan!!!!!
 
 

Holy crap!!!
 
Great guitar tone(s) !!!!!!   Played very well. Love the mix of tempos. Felt like I was standing right next to the action.
 
Mix-wise, either one string is louder than the rest, or more likely, you dig in and hit some harder hits along the way, and those more energetic, louder notes pop out of the speakers and latch on to my amygdala. You might consider volume envelope editing those down just a tad?
 
Either way, nice nice nice!

Like this a lot Mark, really soulful and satisfying to listen to unadorned electric guitar like that. Very cool.

this sounds like a Gus Van Zant soundtrack for a road movie out west of some sort. 
i really love how you carve out this melody that has a truly 'slacking' it' vibe - 
 
my only nit would be i think the guitars still need a bit more headroom there's some pushed noize buzz resonance still in some of the louder string swells/ vibratos - maybe tag a limiter on the track and pull the peaks down a tad - 
 
aside from that this is a gem bro 

Cool stuff! Enjoyable guitar music. Sounds good!

Sure sounds like the title...very laid back and relaxed.  Nice warm tones.  I'd like to hear the tracks panned a little farther apart...I think that'd be nice.  I like the stops and the slides...those are cool.  Reminds me of a prelude to a Johnny Cash song...like I'm expecting him to start singing.  Totally sounds like a sound track to a TV show scene or movie.  Well done man.

OK - I've got a new version up. I panned the two guitars a bit left and right and the bass down the middle.
 

VERY BLUESY TUNE!
