  • My third ballad - a bit sappy - I admit. "Let's Stay Together." (new mix)

This is the third of the ballads I am doing. I originally planned to do six of these for an EP - but I'm enjoying doing these so much, I might just end up doing 10.
 
I believe this tune was written by Ella Fitzgerald - the version I'm most familiar with was recorded by Al Green..
 
Rhythm guitar - Paul Reed Smith
Lead guitar - Gibson ES335
 
Thanks in advance for taking the time to listen.

Nicely done as always Mark, though I am hearing the odd little moments of distortion, just tiny like bits like you just tipped over the edge, could of course just be the conversion to mp3.

Dan, thank you so very much, I appreciate you taking a listen.
 
Wookiee - I worked on those spots, it's not perfect, but I think it's better. Thanks for the helpful comment. I put up a new mix btw.

Pretty sure Al Green wrote the song Mark.
 
That aside, this is just beautiful. For me, the best one yet of these ballads. Really fine playing, so expressive.

Daryl - thanks so much - I'm working on the next one now - Misty.
 
Jamesg - I do like working on these - these have turned out to be more difficult to do than I thought. You're right, it was Al Green, not sure why I thought Ella wrote this one. Thanks for taking the time.

Mark,
 
Nice one... Enjoyed it very much.   The only recommendation I would have on any of these type of  songs is to maybe use a different EQ, reverb or something to make the guitars sound a little more different (like two players rather than overdub of the same guitar)  Playing is outstanding and on second listen of it now:)  Huge thumbs up....

Regards

Great suggestion! Some way of adding some separation to the two guitars.
