Wow, this is a keeper! Monstrous tone on the guitar, great playing, just great feel. A great performance from soup to nuts on this. I like the mix as it is, frankly. 

HEHE, yes a keeper....
thanks kevin, for listening and commenting....
 
i used my (at the time) newly minted USACG custom strat on this one..... for all tracks.
 
it's playing thru a vintagey mesa boogie mark IIb 60 watt tube head...
into a closed back 1x12 with a greenback in it....
 
bass is sansamp, direct.....
drums are all done by Brent Dacus (D/FW pro)

Love it! Great tune and the drums sound fantastic. Of course, all the guitars do as well. I didn't hear anything I didn't like...

thanks dan.....
 those drums, were recorded with a roland VS2480 DAW, and then mailed snail mail to me on backup discs!
 
the drummer, took my demo (done with a machine) and played along with it...
i got the drum tracks from him, and started over from scratch with all my parts..
so, i'm literally playing with the drummer,matching his groove
 
it was a great collab

Pure progtopia
 
Enjoyed this, reminded me of Yes

hi bio, appreciate the comments!
 
it is a bit proggy, eh?
not too much tho.... i don't know if i hear any YES in there,
but they were/are such a great band, i'm glad it's triggering a good comparison!
 

I'm a BatsBrew Fanboy, as you know, so all I can say is, I rocked out to this. Again. And again...

You make that git sing and cry.  Beautiful, and I particularly enjoy the downtempo groove and harmonies.  Much more laid back than your usual (and to be honest, that suits my preferences just fine).
 
And great photo too! :)  I'd be worried that the top cabinet would vibrate off and fall. :P

Excellent Batsbrew - guitars sound amazing

thank you daryl...
glad you like this one.... it's a little bit melancholy at first,
but uplifts later,
tried to make a 'pictorial' in music form.

Bat,
 
Nice one, it all sounds good.  Please tell me you are using a harmonizer on the guitar harmony parts and are not tracking them individually, that precisely.  Really enjoyed it from start to finish.
 
Regards

hey mark,
thanks for listening!!
 
 
now, i NEVER use a harmonizer......
 
don't even own one.
 
 
i like to do things the old fashioned way, just play them.
to my ears,
it just sounds more organic
 
and if you listen closely, 
it's really not THAT tight,
i purposely play certain lines a bit different, or hold notes beyond where a 'producer' would say to cut them off,
just to illustrate the point that they ARE unique performances,
but like the stones have always done, and i'm a big stones fan,
two guitar parts are suppose to be really different from each other, but going in the same direction.
 
 

Enough said.

Every time I listen to any of your material I am awed by both your amazing tone, compositional ability and playing. I can only sum it up by saying that there have never been any corners cut...this is the genuine article. If you want a standard to follow here it is.

wow, thanks for the kind words starise.....
i appreciate that

First rate composition!  Great changes and of course the playing and tone!
 
I haven't listened to Allan in a long time so your song was a super reminder of my guitar hero's.
 
Just awesome start to finish

APPRECIATE the listen and commente, gruve.....
 
AH was only an inspiration for the song,
of course,
i'm not trying to ape his style or technique,
but i am a fan.
