Hi all - I hope you are all doing well.
 
I just finished this blusey little tune and man I had a tough time with it. I have a hard time keeping an instrumental only tune intresting. I'm not sure if this one turned out to be intresting - but I'm satisfied with the way it ended up.
 
Thanks in advance for all of you that take a listen.

great tune. kept me listening.
at times a bit too much presence on the guitar tones(for me)
the main nit would be the buzzing noise which appears 3 or 4 times...

Thanks mgh for taking a listen. Yea, I would agree - so, I remixed and I think I got out all of the buzzing - which was in the bass guitar track. I was using a new plug in on two of the tracks called "transient" that I think made the tune seem to have too much presence.
 
I hope this is a better mix.
 
Thanks again for taking a listen - and for the help.

Hi Mark,
OOh, I love the swampy feel of this track, especially during the slow beginning and when the bass comes in and it and the guitar start playing together.
This might be an odd point to mention, but I really enjoyed the precise intonation of your bends. It's very cool and unusual to be able to deliver a loose, spontaneous feel while maintaining pristine pitch like that.
Thanks very much for the great listen!

Really cool playing with lots of style. I really enjoyed your bends and the whole music.

Very nice...     For me, the first and third sections have an almost Sleep Walk feel to them in both your use of bends and general ambiance, while the middle section is just diggin' into the groove daddy-o.

Very good stuff here Mark.......very tasty and soulful. Had to listen a second time as the first wasn't enough.
 
Just love me these blues....

skinnybones - thanks so much. I listened to one of your tunes this week - just knocked me out. I appreciate you taking a listen.
 
kakku - well, I'm not the greatest or fastest guitar player - so to compensate I've had to work on them bends.  ;-D
 
SteveC - I practiced Sleep Walk until I could play it sleepwalking. Thanks for taking a listen.
 
Mesh - thanks - can't believe someone could actually stand to listen to me twice - nice compliment.
 
james - hi there my friend. Yea, that's what I was trying for - thanks so much for listening.

The tune kept me interested. Nice mix of guitar tones. Nice changes.
 
Personal choice: would have loved some drums and bass in the "middle section".
