I would say more Classic Rock than Blues, but a rose by any other name... Masterful playing by both of you. Wonderfully melodic piece and top shelf sounding production.

HA, yeah I absolutely agree - I don't think I'd go so far as to say this is the blues as such. Definitely blues *based* for sure, but more so blues as in Gary Moore's rock playing rather than BB King's blues playing. :)

Awesome!   Real drums of programmed? They're simple enough to be either

Programmed, except for the cymbal swells at the start and end. I was gonna do real drums on this but... well, that's kind of hard work! HAHA! Plus the drummer I was using had just come off of recording a 48 song box set and a 25 minute long concept piece of mine for my band, and I just didn't want to put him through more studio work for a while! 

Wow - excellent playing and the mix is superb.
Very nice indeed.
