Thanks Wookie!

Wow! Sure gives me something to strive for.

Scott,
 
Awesome song and performances.  Wow, looking forward to hearing the final mix.   You have some excellent comments above already.
 
I may be in the minority with the following opinion but will throw it out anyway:)   From a production perspective it seems the second half of the guitar solo doesn't fit with rest of the song,   Referring to the tapping part starting at 2:48 through 2:56.  To me it doesn't sound country pop'ish like the rest of the track.   The solos beginning with the violin at 2:27-2:40 and the first part of the guitar solo from 2:40-2:48 fit like a glove and are great.  If it were me I would consider replacing the tapping part (2:48 - 2:56) by taking that solo section back into the song by repeating the violin part idea 2:34-2:40 on the guitar with either a guitar harmony or the violin as harmony.  
 
That said, this is really spectacular work and had about 4-5 listens through it typing the above.

i get where you are coming from, though actually the violin parts leading up to that take it out of straight country-rock into something a bit more progressive.Scott was doing this stuff 7 years ago when i first joined the forum and was always pushing the envelope in terms of what you expect from a fiddler. of couirse, the fact he is equally adept at guitar is both infuriating and awesome.
anyhow i really enjoyed the whole song.

Thanks Mark! Don't sweat the guitar solo. Im pretty sure the entire guitar solo will be going away. I just threw it in as a filler while Roy writes a sub-chorus that will go in its place. Thanks for listening and for your kind observations.

Thanks mgh! I do love to push the envelope as you said. I enjoy adding an element of surprise to my performances. Most of the time it even surprises me! 😄 Thanks for listening and I'm glad you enjoyed the song!

Wow! Sure gives me something to strive for.

We are all striving for a better sound. That's what makes the game so much fun...when we get a good sound and then shoot even higher and better it each time. Thanks for listening, W.!

Hi Scott,
 
What a nice song and such a great performance. A cracking mix too... Full use of the stereo width and I could hear every piece perfectly, even though there was quite a lot going on in places. Brilliant lead section!
 
cheers

StriJam,
def a great song and effort.
 
I'm wondering though, if maybe it is a bit busy.  I think you might want to pull  some of the instruments back in places.  Might it lend a little more emotion to the piece?  I just seems like it goes like a jackrabbit front to end.
 
However, the capture, performance, and rendering, are top motch.
 
Very skillful by all involved.
