Yo, this be some damn smooth shit. That's my deep analysis right there.
Obviously some lovely jazz guitar right from the start, especially in the intro, actually. And then throughout. Makes me think I should play a bit more like that - my styes are more psychedelic/Eastern blues, rock, funk, grunge but maybe I should try going for a clean setting and a slow jam and work my way around some jazz chords.
Perfect collection of drum hits and cool, lazy groove. It's a fun little bass sound too.
Every second I listen to this, I hear a variety of classic vocals on it. I'm sure you'll get some offers from people who would like to have a go.
Some lyrics might even include lines like "Yeah, girl, I'm lovin' you"
Probably my only real complaint is that same hi hat pattern for 3.5 mins. Yes, there are some other little percussive additions but I just find that hat gets a bit monotonous.
Some good, low guitar runs right at the end.
There's more to say about this fine work but that will do for now.
Thankyou STATIC , for such a complete and positive comment. I agree with you about the lyrics,it would add a bit more depth to the mix.My roots are in Jazz witch is my first love.In my younger days I played a lot of fusion, jazzrock, soul, RnB,Pop,Jazz.I would love to hear your clean playing tecnigue. I will stop by soon. PEACE. THE MACK MAN OUT.
Ahh I heard an effect from the Korg MS2000...nice...chilled served with a Martini and a Martina (hingis perhaps?) ;-) to make your night special. really great job, this is sweetly done with awesome guitar leads!

Thankyou cruce,you know your stuff. The Korg synths have been good to me. I'm also a big fan of Hypersonic2,A great variety of instruments and sounds.Thanks again for the listen and kind comments. PEACE. THE MACK MAN OUT.
well this is second track I've heared from U , both verywelldone .I've really enjoyed & adored in my head your guitar playing style,& the way U select notes to be sentences beside eachother.thoughtfull & gentle.best wishes.___Behnam
Thankyou for the kind comments. You also have a great gift for creating emotional as well as visual commpositions with acoustic flavor.Thanks again. Be back soon. PEACE. THE MACK MAN OUT.
Man I Love this! Forgot to mention the Wes Montgomery style guitar ! One of my favorite guitarist. Can't wait to go to work tomorrow cause I know what's on the CD and ain't worry about the traffic!! . Fila
Thank you Danke, for the possitive comments and taking the time to listen always. Stopping by soon. Sorry for the delay reply. PEACE. THE MACK MAN OUT.
YESSER, BRING IT. I will convert the mp3 to 24bit wave and go to work and master it. If the track is hot,(hitting odb) bring the mix, down to -3db that insures that I can play with volumes and not get distortion and get a clean master. PEACE. THE MACK MAN OUT.
Hey Mac Man...I owe you an apology...(my comment on your young age is likely off side)...I was reading profiles on the Loop last night...and while I was reading sevenola`s I hit play on your track....and went WOW....this doesn`t sound like a 19 year old musician...it was just too good....so, anyway..sorry about that...and it is a really good track by the way.....Ed
This is nice smooth jazz... I like this a lot. It sounds a like something that I would compose. I play a lot of jazz chords. You are playing the guitar bro... keep it up!
Upon another listen I really really like this tune. It bridges Jazz-chill and hip hop in some very interesting ways. The percussion is so good on this one. It also reminds me a bit of Roxy Music's Avalon album in it's lounge-slick-cool-attitude. nice work!
Steve
Hi mackit....at your age I could have never come close to doing anything like this...I was reading your bio so was a bit surprised (pleasantly) to find a chillout track on top of your list...I notice some comments on production..actually it sounds really good to me so I`m not sure why...perhaps a little widening on the accompaniment instruments??...but we know that reality is often best represented by just some placement of the instruments in the sound stage rather that too much artificial processing...The music is really well done..the composition shows that a lot of thought has been put into it..I often insert a ms (mid-side) processor vst on some tracks just to keep the away from centre (and the lead) a bit but thats a matter of taste ...as is reverb and the other things we use...I enjoyed this one just the way it is...and listening to this kind of music composition from a young guy makes me think you are going to really raise above the crowd in the future..You`re part way there now...Your passion and investment in learning shows....keep on doing it...I`m sitting here with a smile after listening...way to go....Ed
Thankyou for the listen and the young man comment.LOL. I too, use a ms to evan things out. It depends on the overall sound I'm after and what genre of music it is. Thanks again. PEACE. THE MACK MAN OUT.
Hey B.I'm a cool old school dude. I know you ment no harm. when I read that description I knew I was going to relisten to that track 100 more times to see if I was tripping when I did the sound prossesing. NOW I GOT EAR FATIGUE. My next track is doomed. I realy do like your concept of writing and will be stopping by. PEACE THE MACK MAN OUT.
I loved the song very good work. I think the mixing needs some tweaking unless you meant to make it sound like to was being played through a toy amp. That being said you are very talented!!!!
Thankyou for the listen and the comment.I could have made my stereo field a little wider as well as better separation of guitar and keys. When I do smooth jazz I try not to go rediculouse wide because some stations broadcast in mono and the possibility of losing an instrument is great.I know this because it happen to me. I think toy amp is a bit extreme, but so far thas's been your opinion only and i except it. Your tracks are great and i will be stopping by. PEACE. THE MACK MAN OUT.
A little jazz chill, cool !
Really nice balance between the piano and guitar throughout, it flows ever so sweet. I totally dig adding the pad in there, it really smooth's it out.
This really put me in a good mood this morning bro.
Thanks and a big thumbs up.
