Some excellent guitar work in here, especially in the middle part. The kick drum seems a bit busy to me. Feels just a little choppy in parts due to the kick, imo. Good job.
Thanks D. You're probably right about the drums. They're loops and I'm kinda stuck with them. WillyBob
I love Brent Mason and I think you've got bit of Brent in there some where.
Love It.
WillyBob Thanks WillyBob. Not familiar with Brent Mason. Will definitely look him up. CreatingNoise
Mark,
Nice groover you have there. That amp is killer sounding!! Love the change up at 1:02 ish and the ending gave me goosebumps...very cool riffage. Sounds like you are really digging that PRS. Thanks Tony, I agree the amp does sound great. Makes you wonder why a successful amp design would be discontinued and you have to buy an old one to get that sound. mgh
as ever this is superb. catchier than your last one, the rhythm guitar by itself could just be listened to! the leads are tasteful and just flashy enough, if you know what i mean....agree the Strat solo section is v. good! almost ended too quick though! Thanks Mark. Most of my songs end quick. Gotta leave them wanting more. thepogue
ROCK!!!!
I mean is was..cool!.....
good work! Big Thanks Tom!

Nice guitar and drum work. Liked the octaves.
Nit. timing seemed a little weird on the front up to about :30sec and at the fade.
Rock on..

Great stuff, Mark. Really very nice guitar tones. The PRS and Strat do a great job complimenting each other. That PRS is so Phat sounding While the Strat is just killer.
I really love the fact that these flow and blend so well.

What I like about this piece is it doesn't sound like a copy of any one style but yours. KILLER piece, MARK!

Jamesyoyo, thanks for the listen my friend.
James(tap), I was going to do the whole thing with the PRS but nothing compares to the neck pickup of a strat for that part.
Thanks Kev, glad you liked it.
Reece, thanks for coming by to listen.

Mark, I hope you don't mind me doing this but I'm piping your music to my speakers outside for our Bar-B-Q. I did it once before and everyone loved it. I will as last time give a brief on you and your music. THANKS

This sounds really great! I like the composition and chord movements, and your guitar playing is stellar. That Marshall really produces a nice tone no matter what guitar you put through it. Someday I would love to own a marshall. Is that a Les Paul Standard in your Avatar? What does the THD Hotplate do? (sorry for my ignorance)

Hey Geno, thanks for the comments. The Hotplate is an attenuator. It sits between the head and the speaker cab and allows you to crank the amp to get full tube distortion without full volume reaching the speakers. The 100 watt Marshall I have is intolerably loud anywhere past 2 on the volume which would make it worthless for home recording without the local police becoming my biggest fans. It's character doesn't really come in until the amp is at least around 6 on the volume. So the hotplate lets me do this and still have a very comfortable room level. Yes the Les Paul is an '03 standard. bayoubill

Thanks Bill, you've made my day. Just email me some of those leftovers then.

Mark, a friend was sitting listening sipping a beer as I was walked by he said "I love Satriani" I said that's not Satriani. That's Mark Wessells. I think it was Comic Renegade playing at the time. VERY COOL!

Excellent Guitar playing and tones as always....I had a little problem with the drums though....The snare verb felt like it was taking the drums outta time and the beat felt stiff...and that bell kinda took away from the frequencies of your guitar in those areas. This is me just being overly picky obviously!!!!!!!

Rock-Guitar jamming ... most excellent, majestic, and harmonious with the snares and crash-cymbs (which i really love).
On 1st listen, to me, they merge in trans-classic-rock fashion ... in a perfect mix (and master).
I love and envy performances and mix!!

Hi Alan, I appreciate the comments. The drums are loops so I don't have too much control over them.

Thank you Paulo. But if it had vocals it wouldn't be an instrumental.

Just the type of music I like to hear played live - could easily be a couple of minutes longer - maybe a tad faster even - only slightly faster - but I really like the feel of it.

When You're ready to put out your first commercial CD, I'll buy it. I'll put you in rotation with my favorite guitarists that help with that drive back from LA in the afternoon. Solid songwriting, well crafted leads, a good mix. You make me want to pick up my guitar and practice.

Thanks Mark, I really appreciate that. I've been trying to get my CD out for about a year now. I can never seem to finish it because real life keeps getting in the way.
