I'm not sure that I agree with the comments about the drums.  Where I have any issues with the song is that in the parts where there is a lot going on, the piano sounds become indistinct to the point where they sound more like background noise than piano.  I'm not sure if it would sound better to me if the piano was boosted more in these areas or side-chained against the guitar to selectively reduce it.  Possibly less reverb on the piano when things get busy?

[<font]Nice stuff! Love the groove and feel of everything.

Daryl,
 
As always, great axe playing.  I like your drums on this one too;)   Very enjoyable listen.
 
Regards

The drums are fine, they are just too loud, especially the crashes.

The King Of Tone is in residence, children: sit down and take heed from the Master.  I am gonna have to do a tune with you, D.

Luke - Herb - James, Frank, Philz, Mark - Thank you, it's guitar fun!

Lynn - That's a high compliment, to old guitar slinger, tone is something you always aspire too, glad to know I'm on the right track.   Thanks!

Dan, Thank you.  My drums are always too busy, or too dull, or too loud or too soft.  It's my hallmark and curse of my ears that I stuggle with drum sounds and it makes mixing them tough.  Glad you like the song!

Shad - I expect you're right, but ironically I really like the drum track, it is busy but it's called on the run.  Glad you liked the song and the guitar!  Thank you.

Glen - That sounds like good information I can put to use.  Mixing is hard for me and I need this kind of feedback.  When I can hear any track well, except the lead in the center, it's generally too loud.  Thanks for the careful listen.  In addition to the piano there is a triple guitar harmony on the chorus lines, could that be what's competing with the piano?

Robert - Thanks!

Mark - Wow, I will pay you that $50, thanks for saying you liked my durms!   Frank told my that one time too, now it's happend twice!  Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed it.

YoYo Man -  I would do a tune with you any day if only to hear myself in pro class mix.  Thank you for the kind words.  I like to think I have my own tone.  I hear a lot of tones that I really like, but a lot of them are tones driven by combinations of wonderful effects or just really special sweet amps and I never seem to be able to copy a lot of those tones well with my equipment.  So my tone comes largely, as does most of eveyones, from my fingers, that with some good EL34 tube tone, although I find my tone varies more betwen guitars than it does various amps or different tubes.  After all these years I still find it amazing when 2 different guitarist have completley different tone using the exact same guitar and signal chain.  It's pursuit that never ends... of course.. we don't want it to either.

Thanks for the mix suggestions... my ears are certainly getting worse with each passing year but I'm learning with the help I get here to compensate for much it.   This site is such a great resource and one of the best attend forums I've seen for anything.

 Loved it Daryl as always, tone and style so tasty

Beauteous! What did you use for your backing track?

Grant - Thank you much.

Scotty... I used my guitars, fingers, keyboards... and a lot of midi editing.    The drums are Superior Drummer, and my ineptitude with it.

Daryl

Daryl - this is great - I love your playing - you sound great on this.

On the run - yes I felt the stress hormones running a lot. So if it was your aim it really worked. ;-)
