 I recorded this on my Martin. Two guitar tracks total. Each track has a direct in and a miked  input. Added some strings from Kirk Hunter and a few violin/cello parts. Hope you enjoy! Comments welcome.

Hi Tim, nice meandering tune, not a fan of that cello(?). Maybe you could edit some of the string sqeaks out ?

Hi Tim, nice meandering tune,

The tune does meander, but sounds good...
Love the sound of the guitar... open tuned..?

I enjoyed it

I like the guitar sound, mostly.  Normally I am a fan of "leaving it in", but I personally think the string squeaks are just a little too much sometimes and could use a small bit of EQ to make them a bit less in your face.
 
Nice work overall!

Tim, Nice guitar sound, reminds me of my Martin J65M when miked. The other strings sound alright to me. Some string slide, but not enough to ruin the piece, at least for me. Interest arrangement that holds your attention. I liked it.
 
Peace and Blessings, John

You managed to get a nice open sound from the guitar.
 
The cello didn't quite fit. In several places it was dissonant with the guitar, and the guitar part was very non-dissonant sounding.  In some places the cello fit perfectly riding behind the guitars providing a connecting bridge..... especially towards the end.

I enjoyed this piece.  I'm less bothered by the string squeaks than most because it adds authenticity to the part.  However, you could slightly lower the volume of the strings, as they sometimes override the guitar.  I'm a fan of creative dissonance, and was not bothered by that part of the arrangement.  I've listened to too much Zappa, I guess.

absolutely LOVE this. the in your face strings are fine to me. you're rubbing up semi-tones nicely dissonant - 
kinda put me in a Zeppelin mode aka John Paul Jones mode.
 
this is something i would listen to over and over again in my car. thanks for this little gem. i made some notes on your SC page :)
