Here's a song I improvised yesterday. No click track. One take on each instrument. I wanted to see how it sounded just making something up on the spot. Started with rhythm guitar. Basically a three-chord progression. Then I added drums, then bass, then lead guitar. No EQing. No mastering. It was very therapeutic. I compared to a metronome afterwards, and I stayed pretty consistent for the most part. Something wouldn't have been able to do back in the day when I first started playing. I attribute it to practicing with a click and playing along with and listening to a lot of music.

Great groove with nice rhythm playing, and some pretty speed runs in there! 

great playing/groove - are you playing everything?

Thanks very much! Yes I played everything. This was an excercise in letting go and not overthinking. Kind of a Jackson Polluck approach.

Very cool

Nice jam. Your guitar playing and tone is real nice. Some beat and key change ups would have been nice but is listenable as it is.

For a single take, improvised, no-click, non-mixed piece... it sounds pretty freakin' good!
 
I'd be curious to hear this again after giving it some "formal" production.
