Very nice. I liked the lead especially.
 
The mix is good and the tone really adds shimmer your solo.

Great clarity, love how the bass sound sits so well with everything. What kind of bass is that? The tone is so warm and mooshy while being nicely defined. There are just a few bits where things feel kind a bit loose to my ear right at the beginning of the piece, but that seems to me to be more of a subjective thing. Really wonderful mix and nice playing! Good luck with your surgery, you need to be playing out.

Guitar playing is great bud, I like how you break from the pentatonic and go to a chromatic scale in parts.  Guitar tone is great too.  I could tell the drums were looped, that's fine.  Bass was good though a little more presence in the 1-3k range would give you some clarity/punch on it, unless being set back was the goal.  Nice job.

Thenks Kevin.  Bass is an Ibanez SR705 5 string.  I just got it during this recording and redid my bass using the new one.  Thanks for the good luck wishes.  Surgery is Oct. 7.  i've already got a band lined up for after my recovery.  We'll have 2 lead guitarists...get this...the other guitarist is my old teacher.  We are going to be awesome.

Thanks Chuck.  That chromatic part started as a bass exercise.  Funny how songs develop.

Very good stuff here Mark.......brought back fond memories of the solo CD work I used to regularly listen to about 20 years back (Joey Tafolla, Jeff Watson, Eric Johnson, Steve Stevens, Stanley Jordan etc...). You're in great company. :))
 
Best of luck with the surgery!!

Nice one Marcos! Excellent playing all around. I think the bass msay be pushed too far back, and the kick could use more "oomph" to beef up the low end. Otherwise, I like everything else.
 
Regards,
Dan

Hey Mark;
   Really like this a lot. You have a really nice tone on all the guitars for their purposes. The main melody is tight and catchy and I found myself humming it in my head after listening. The one change in mode at around the 1:00 minute mark caught me a little off guard and didn't feel to me like it sat well...it did resolve back to the main very well with the final couple arpeggiated licks...that was spot on and I really liked that. 
 
   Very cool mood and fine playing all around. I liked the balance of the instruments in the piece also. I really enjoyed the listen :)

I like your guitar tone a lot. Nice playing too. I especially enjoyed the progression change. The production sounds good as well. Thanks for posting. I enjoyed it.
