Great as usual Gonzo! My only beef is the snare needs more balls. Vox are fine in my book. I hear Jimi in you chords and that's the biggest compliment I can give a guitarist

Its all very very good bat.  Very impressed with your playing and the drummers.  The bass is awesome as well. 
I hear a bit of boxiness in the mids on this tune.  I compared it to your "The Strip" song which doesn't seem to have the 800K thru 1.5K I hear on "Yesterday".  That is really nit pickin' though.
Love your music.

thanks bill....
 
i want the re-mix to feature the drums more, 
so what you suggest is right in line with the plans.
jimi, you know, he'll always be a touchstone.

makke, thanks for listening, and the comment about the arrangement-
that's what i worked on the hardest, 
trying to find some way to convey it all without falling into 'the obvious'
 
i like blending the acoustics and electrics, i should probably focus on that more

Wow great number!  The guitar work is excellent and I love that bass line.  The arrangement really allows the rhythm to carry along the song, and that is tops in my book.  The vocals/harmony are excellent and remind me of Yes.  In fact the guitar accents, and that driving rhythm along with the vocals remind me of Yes.
Excellent stuff!!

Not much to add other than "+1".    Great tune, nice arrangement, good mix.   And yeah, the drums are completely in the pocket - he seems to play the "right" thing all the way through.   And the guitars sound great as usual.   For some reason I love that little phasy part around 3:47 where the guitar practically drops out - it's so "live".

good ears, rimshot, 
that is a frequency issue i always had with this song.
 
this was mixed on a roland VS 1880, versus the strip tune, which was mixed  in Sonar.
 
also, i used a sm57 to record that guitar part in yesterday- i used a ADK Hamburg condenser to record the stip tracks, mixed in with a direct from a Palmer PDI-09.
 
i can easily conform that guitar part, but instead, i think i'll just re-track it, and make the track more unique.
thanks for listening

thanks for the comments freddy...
i still don't get the "Yes" thing, but i'll take it because those guys were (are?) so good....
i like their early stuff, up to DRAMA...
 
to me, my acoustic stuff is probably more in line with CSN&Y, or Dan Fogelburg, or Page
