Hope everyone is doing well, sorry havent stopped in much lately.

Nice.  Guitar work is excellent.  I like the mix too - good drum sounds.

nice work, Mike!  the bass sounds "dull" to me.  it needs some "cojones" - I'd try boosting it in the 80 to 90Hz area and maybe add a transient shaper to it.

love the shredding!

Wow!  For about a minute and a half I was transported back (ahead?) in time and felt like a kid on the night before Christmas.  Nice arrangement and performance.  Happy Thanksgiving.

Geno - Thank you.  The drums were Addictive Drums sounds

Beagle - Thanks for the suggestion.  I had two bass tracks, one direct and one miced, the direct one was really compressed, I'll try mixing in more mic and see how that works out.  Thanks for the suggestion

Lynn - Thanks for the listen.  Glad you enjoyed it, sorry for posting Xmas before Thanksgiving, but I didn't know any good Thanksgiving songs to cover :)
Happy Thanksgiving to you as well

Nice playing. You have the light dancing fingers I could never master. I have to hurt my guitar to make it do anything desirable.

The guitar sound at the start is a little thin. Once you get to the Rudolf part it's much more present. Just what I'm hearing.

Cheers.

very cool Mike - great mix.


and, yes it is too early :)

My first Christmas tune of the year.  If only all Christmas tunes Rock this way.  KUDOS!


Kev

You lit up my iPad with that nice guitar shred. Nice work!

Is Bob-Shredding your new hobby/sport? Does that even exist? You could copyright and petition it to become one!

Xmas present for you? Seems like you already have your gift!! The "unusual" duet was a nice touch, too
