Big Thanks for listening,

Hi Ken
Not bad but there are some odd harmonies - maybe if you sung it would be a better folding. I think the solo guitar steel all the attention now as it is - some balancing would be better.

Ken - I kinda like it - it's sort of like a mix of surf guitar and elevator music. It does have some odd harmonies, but that may be what you're shooting for. Honestly, I wouldn't listen to this a lot, because instrumentals, IMO, need to have some surprises to hold my attention. Something like this might work better with vocals. But it's not bad.

Hi gtrpastor and eko,
 
Thanks listening and for the feedback!!!
 
Great suggestions!

I have to agree that the tune could use a stronger lead melodic instrument/vocal to better carry it forward.   What you have though sounds good IMO.   Mix-wise the guitars are a bit up front for my tastes, particularly because they're throughout the tune.
 
FWIW, I actually like the delay on the guitar that seems to be adding harmonies - sounds pretty cool to me.  It might work well as a solo section or to balance a separate main melody.
