Well conceived, well executed. Really nice playing. The bass comes through a little mid-heavy and bottom-lite, but you don't want a lot of bass here swamping your cool guitar work, so I think that's a good choice.
 
I was expecting a little drumming on the soundboard . . .  :) dunno if you want that or not!
 
very cool stuff!
 
cheers,

Thanks Tom. My brother is my drummer and I decided to let him rest that day.  I was thinking of adding some Latin-style percussion, but decided to keep it simple.

Excellent! Ebow was a nice touch, I always think that works well with acoustic guitars.


Thanks James.  I try to add ebow to at least song per project...and it is usually over an acoustic guitar.  I agree they work well together.

Few words can describe what I heard so I'll just say beautifully done in every aspect.

Mr. Peter, congratulations on the reviews.  This is indeed a well crafted piece, and deserving of the accolades. I'm going to go listen to some more of your music and find another favorite.
 
I just found your band's website.

Wow, excellent Peter!!
Very nice recording/micing the acoustic and of course of playing/composition. I have a takamine nylon string acoustic, but it's easy to record as it can plugged in.
 
Good work my man....good work.....I enjoyed the melodic playing.

Really nice Peter! I'd agree with Jesse that the ebow lead in the beginning comes in too loud and fast. I would suggest maybe fading it in more slowly, possibly using a hall reverb to make it sound like it is coming in from far away, then fade the reverb out as the ebow gets louder.
 
Beautiful playing all around!

Dan

Pete,
 
Really fine playing.   Sounds great, although I didn't get the intro.   If the song were more produced it might make more sense but with the minimalist approach you have taken with the rest of the track,  I would have kept it straight throughout.  Anyway, overall the work is very outstanding and your nylon mic'ing technique worked very well.

Regards

Thanks JQS.  That band has my wife on vox, my brother on drums, and my fat, Mexican, Physicist buddy on bass.

Thanks Mesh.  I have a 1/4" output on mine too, but I think it sounds much better mic'd. I did blend it with the mic'd track though.

Maybe your right about that first ebow part.  Thanks for the tip and thanks for listening.

Thanks Mark.  Yea I should either go all the way with it or scrap that idea at the beginning.
