Clint,
Great work, love your playing. Had to listen a few times;) I hear some Guthrie Govan in there too....
You did a nice job with the drums.
Regards

Absolutely brilliant, Clint! Aside from the beautiful tonality of the guitar, I like the way the drums are performed/programmed. They're very natural sounding. Please keep them rolling.

Thanks Mike! I'll be singing more soon. I'll be remixing this song eventually too. I think it can be better than it is, but I'm trying to keep up a little momentum...I tend to get bogged down playing with all of these plugins and sims and whatever.

aka Melody Pond? I love Dr. Who. My daughter smiled when I named it The River Song...so it was a good choice. Thanks for the compliments. I guess I'm going to have to record one with vocals again. I'm trying to finish up another instrumental right now...and then I'll give singing another go!

Nice work. I was immediately captivated by the guitar tone..... so freaking sweet. The playing never seemed to be repetitious or boring.... people I know, who play guitar, would kill to have that tone. I thought you were smoking some tubes on that... apparently not.
I listened twice and loved it both times.... great job. I really like your playing on this.

I, too, am a fan of the Doctor. I kinda thought about mentioning the "River Song" reference, but hadn't guessed that you already knew about it. ;)

Thanks man! I've been working with S-Gear latey. I don't think it's perfect, but it seems to sit in the mix well. Do you have S-gear? I can send you the preset if you want to try to improve it. Thanks for listening.

Clint,
Please send me the S Gear preset if you have time. I am finding the same thing, that it just seems to fit naturally into the mix more easily with less tweaking.

Everything you touch has a wonderful groove to it, and top soloing. Loads of tasteful guitar tricks in this number. top work once again.

Thanks again...Yeah, it's the new Modern DW kit in EZD2. I modified the basic patch a bit to make my own setting.

Might sound like adult question but what did you use for the guitar part.? Keyboard or real guitar?

Thanks for the compliments, I do appreciate it...The guitar is played by me using S-Gear. I'm using the Jackal amp with the basketweave IRs. I have a dash of Valhallaubermod for chorus, the tritik delay and Valhallavintageverb. I believe I used the quadcurve eq to highpass a little, I can't remember for sure...probably around a 100hz. Everything else was done with Sonar's Prochannel. PC4k bus comp and Concrete limiter.

Geez... what's not to like? The whole thing is just right in the pocket, from the playing to the arrangement to the performance. Especially the guitar, of course. Love the line around 2:50-3:00.

Thanks you so much! I'm liking S-Gear a lot. I have an Atomic Amplifire on the way. I hope it sounds better. @Tom Riggs Thanks for the youtube comment!

I would strongly agree with the Santana ish sound of this track. Great playing. Nice mastering job.

Thanks Starise. I don't do the Santana thing on purpose, but I confess to being a huge fan when growing up and learning to play. I guess you are what you eat...so to speak.
