i like this.
funky intro.....
reminds me a bit of straight up blues, but it's got an edgy quality to it, that's more jazzy....
could be a larry carlton send-up
i can definitely hear some key pads in here (think reese wynans with double trouble)
but i don't mind the distorted guitar rhythms (of course i don't)
i think if you used a slightly less grungy, more 'edgy' distorted rhythm sound, it would mesh better with the mellow neck-pickup sound of the clean rhythm.
i think the solo would work better cleaner, as well, but as long as you are diggin' the more saturated tone, bring it up a bit more in the mix, and add a little 'sheen' to it, to get it to stand out sonically against the nice clean rhythm guitar, which right now, is sitting on TOP of the solo guitar, by virtue of the sonics, if not the level.
great laid back boogie groove
