Brilliant  stuff Bats. Have to give you full credit for doing all this yourself, and putting such care and attention into the writing, arranging and performances of all these tracks. Quite some work you did here (that's English understatement..).Great track.

Nice changes on this. I like how you were doing some nice shredding in the beginning, and then progressed to a more bluesy wah solo in the middle. Stellar work as usual Bats. Mix sounded nice.

leadfoot,
yea, there are some fleet of foot stuff at the beginning section,
originally i thought that's the way the whole thing would go.
 
this song actually came from a live jam i did, 
and the main electric rhythm in the beginning is the same track,
and the solo section it morphs into, was a jam section, i re-recorded, but the bass track, and of course, the drums, are the same as the very first time i played it.
 
in fact,  that's where the name of the song came from..... 
it was the very first song i recorded with my newly refurbished USACG custom super strat i had re-built after a flood damaged the finish on the original body...
 
this guitar, and the speakers and mic setup, is what i used to track it:
 

I have the same color American Standard Deluxe Strat with a hot rails type of mini humbucker in the bridge section. I never use it though. It is circa 1994 when I bought it.

Love this Bats! Man, this is right up my alley.
 
Really like the whole thing and the mix is well done. Phenomenal guitar work! Wouldn't change a thing...
 
Regards,
Dan

Bats,  another stunner for sure!  Guitar rock but with a good solid foundation of melody and structure.  Lovin the mix and the vocals.  Nice stuff, congrats on another winner!

Hey Bat, got your album a while ago, haven't had a chance to listen yet.  I'm making time today.
 
As far as commenting on the production quality, what am I going to say.  You are the confirmed master.  Guitar magician extraodianrio. 
 
Now, as far as what I would like to hear is, on the next album "turn the vocals up a little bit."  Not a lot, just a wee bit, you have a great voice to go along with your virtuoso guitar playing, give it it's due.  Once I hear the whole album I could consider my comment null and void.
 
But that is just me, and all in all it is a kick a$$ piece of work.
 
Later

hey jesse, thanks for supporting me with the album purchase,
i much appreciate it!
 
yes, i think when you hear the whole album,
you'll understand where the vocals are is where they ought to be.
not like a 'karoake' mix, and not like a 'singer/songwriter' mix,
but like a band mix.
that's the goal.

A pleasure as always to hear the Master at work

thanks wookiee!
i'm going to feature our collab tune next.........

Hey bat. Great job. ...
I realized listening to this final rendition that with all the forum's discussions on EQ, compression, mixing, soft tube, hard tube, etc., it really does not matter to the end result as much as the song, lyrics, playing and arrangement. 
.......
Merry Christmas!

thanks so much for the kind words, rimshot,
you 'got' what i was going for....
 
yea, it's kinda geeky to go on and on about the gear, and techniques, and all that,
but in the end, all that matters is the final outcome,
so you seem to understand that's the goal, and i'm glad you dig it!
 

Beagle

thanks beagle,
glad you dig it...

you know i had TWO of these guitars made...
2 bodies, anyway..
this one, was damaged in a flood,
and i had a new body made, with new paint job, that is true vintage white.
this one is more cream.
 
this is a USACG build,
all custom
if you want the specs, i can post them
