Nice Composition
This is a long piece for guitar to carry all the way through, but I think you pulled it off nicely. Solid emotive playing and good choice of tone on the lead.

If I were to suggest one thing it would be to go with a different bass sound. The bass seems to add a "muddiness." If you could add in some warmth there, maybe something that includes more of the metallic tone of the strings, I think it would brighten the whole piece. (7-8-7-7)

Yeah, I was afraid of the Mud, it's passable through my headphones and
better monitors, but the cheap speakers are muddy. Lesson learned,
make it sound better on the cheap speakers. Thanks for the comment.

This
is a different style from you, I like it very nice playing
from you. I don't hear the Robin Trower influence in this
pieces as much as your previous pieces.

Thanks HTP, Without vocals I'm trying to do something different that will
help carry the songs.

Nice chops
Some real Bill Nelson sounding progressions there.

I take it you mean Bill Nelson of Bebop Deluxe, never thought of that. I
did use to listen to him, funny how things can rub off. Thanks, I've got
to pull out that live album again that I have. Remember those big round
things called records?

great playing
emotive, smooth & interesting, a little bluesy. i'm
thinking that adding a second backup guitar track in
places might give this another dimension & help break up
the song a little for further interest. really liked this (great
pic, too)

Hmmmm...
Not bad...however it seems off key most of the time...you got the chops...but it was off. Maybe your Strat was out of tune a bit? A little to dissonant for my ears. Sorry, just sounded out of tune to me...I could be alone in this....I will refrain from voting.
