I went to a Spanish guitar concert by the Romeros and I was blown away. This is my version of a Spanish guitar tune but I included some strings and a trumpet.
Thanks for listening.

That sounded quite nice Bjorn, though I did wonder if there was a little to much reverb on the guitar synth.

Thanks Wookie. Yeah I was wondering the same thing about the guitar reverb. I didn't have any effects on that track but still it's there. I should try another guitar

Does the guitar synth have a built in reverb?

Good show, Bjorn. You don't overdo it mix-wise and that's the key to this I think. I liked the tremolo on the horn tails, that helps the realism. When are they going to make a Mariachi VST???

Did you ever see that animated movie "Puss in Boots" or whatever it was called? Your piece would fit in well with something like that.

For a crit, I felt it had a bit of "meandering theme" going on. Like the whole thing was an improv rather than a strongly developed theme. And that observation is not really a criticism, as it turns out, 'cause I liked it a lot anyway!

cheers,

Wookie - the guitar does have its own reverb, but it was turned off. A different preset might work better.

Tom - boy you're good. You picked up on some drum mistakes I'd made in a couple of previous songs and now you mention the meandering theme. Yep, and I was aware of that. I wanted a haunting, mysterious Spanish guitar phrase to build on but I just didn't find it. I guess the meandering is me plunking the keyboard hoping to hit on something.
