Hi Tim,
 
What a great piece of work.
 
I've listened to it a number of times. Mainly to try and establish how many parts you have tucked in there. Is the main guitar doubled some times, or is that a widening effect? There's definitely more than one guitar track anyway... Or perhaps it's the bouzouki.
 
Everything is so clear in the mix and across the stereo image.
 
I know it would probably spoil the "energy" of this particular piece but some gentle Bodhrán would also go well with this... Just a simple rhythm. 
 
cheers

Thanks for your comments guys!
 
Andy- I played guitar in stereo first and added the bouzouki and places as a double part over the guitar...I added just a hint of it because too much would mud it up. Ulean pipe samples are underneath it ...mostly in drone. I like the Bodhrán...I think I'm going to investigate that!
 
BASSJOKER- Thank you kindly:)

another bouzouki piece.....
nice.
refreshing.....
 
this almost reminds me of early Heart, 
especially songs like Dream Of The Archer

the blending of the bouzouki works so well,
as if it takes the place of a mandolin, it could set in anything from rock to celtic
 
this really needs a vocal melody, dry as a bone, and personal.

As bats says it needs a vocal.
 
Here's a hook I came up with.

I concur.....very nice playing Tim. Recording an acoustic is always a bit of a challenge and you've done an excellent job on this (as well as all the other instruments).
 
Enjoyed listening to your other tracks as well (currently on Ride the Wind).....good stuff you got here Tim.....nicely mixed.

Very nice recording and performance Starise. There are some cool things going on in all of the parts. It's cool to hear how the different instruments are combining musically and timbrally. Just curious, are you looking for feedback or did you just want to share?
