I don't usually do instrumentals because my guitar skills are pretty rudimentary, but I love the dance tunes of the 60's like Shotgun, Green Onions, and Tighten Up. I had this melody running around in my mind that I wanted to use to tip my hat to those great songs. You can be the judge as to whether or not I had any success. Anyway, here's the tune. Please feel free to be honest (not that there's any worry there!) :)

Thanks for any feedback!
 
Note: I had to change the name of the tune to pass the censors. lol

Hi Kevin,
 
Cool tune that
 
Nice guitar playing... Good arrangement... Sounded good on my cans.
 
Just one suggestion... The track finishes after 3:10 but there's silence for another 40 seconds... Minor, minor gripe, but I'm a fussy kinda guy haha
 
 
cheers

Thanks for checking in, Andy, I appreciate it! Yeah, I usually check that kind of stuff but I forgot to this time. I'm not very strong on attention to detail.

Well, I must admit that, with is being at the end of the track, it doesn't matter so much. I sometimes leave SoundCloud playing the next recommended track, so every now and then I have to click on next, or even wait peacefully for the next track to start

I went back and removed the errant silence, so you shouldn't experience any inconvenient wait for the next track to roll up. :) Thanks, Andy!

Nice one
 
I can sleep easy now...

I've updated the mix to clear up some stuff that was bugging me. :)
 
I'm interested in comments on the mix, quality of the instrumentation, etc. Thanks for your feedback!

Sounds excellent Kevin - very well balanced. Guitars are the shizzle.

Thanks, I appreciate you giving it a listen!

Cool tune..   has a bit of that retro vibe happening but still more open and modern sounding.   Guitar parts are particularly good IMO - nice tone and solidly played.
