Thanks for sharing string squeaks, dissonance and all.

Well played. 
 
The dissonance didn't bother me and my tin ear.  I liked the added texture and sustain of the cello.  Works well under the guitar.  If it was me I'd introduce the strings lower - both the vol and pitch.
 
Me like.

Really nicely done, Tim.  I mellowed right out listening to it.  I could take or leave some of the strings but that's a preference thing.  The guitars were so pretty I could have survived on those.  The strings didn't hurt, though, like I said just a preference. 

This was excellent Starise! Personally the string squeaks were just fine with me. Love the sound of the guitars. Parts of it reminded me of a little Grateful Dead improv. Very peaceful, reflective song.

I didn't hear the original, before the strings were lowered - I found the strings to be TOO low in places, especially in the early parts, and on occasion even still too high - perhaps some volume automation would help.  There were also times when the string part and guitar part really didn't fit together well at all.   Just my preference, I think its better as guitar only.  Guitar tone was great.

nice mellow tune my friend

Rik- Thanks for your comments. I have to agree about the cello.It sounded artificial to me. I took it out completely. After this I think a second day listen before posting is always good.
 
 Notnat- This was not open tuned. Thanks for your comments.
 
Champchas- Thank you !
 
Waltenstein- Thanks for listening. 
 
John- Those Martins are great guitars. I don't have a high end Martin but it sounds great.Thanks!
 
Herb- Thanks for your ideas and comments.
 
Steve- Thanks for listening.
 
Lynn- I agree. I  made the strings come out too much in the recording. I finally decided to scrap the strings altogether.As always I appreciate the listen!
 
Daren- Thanks man. I really appreciate your observations here.
 
Wookie-lol.
 
AT- I seem to like dissonance and clash on occasion. I'm glad your ears didn't find it objectionable. Thanks so much for giving it a listen.
 
Warren(Pug)- Hopefully I have come closer to the goal in this last mix. Thanks for your comments. Maybe my goal is dissonant relaxation with a squeak or two thrown in lol.
 
Leadfoot- Thanks man!
 
Ultrabra- I'll look closer at this. Thanks.
 
Twisted6s- I appreciate the listen man! Maybe they should call me Mellow Yellow.
