Thank you x, your choice of words is exactly how I try to execute my style of guitar playing. I didn't automate the guitar track, so your ears didn't lie to you. Also no mastering on this track. Will upload the polished version soon. Thanks again for the stop by. I was in the prosses of listening to one of your tracks and had to cut it short to get to work. Didn't get a chance to comment. Will stop back. PEACE. T576 OUT.

This is a valid critique of the track, x stokes, and I really appreciate your input. It’s, frankly, a lot more helpful to get constructive criticism than comments that just say, “great track, man” or words to that effect.

Your observation is aiming at an issue that much more fundamental than mere technical issues with the mix, etc. it’s something that I’ve been increasingly aware of, and frustrated with in my music for some time now. Not very inventive.

I’m not sure how to remedy this. I hope it’s not because I’m just too old to be creative.:(

Maybe pot? It’s legal here in Canada! :)

Now here is somebody who understands what I am trying to do here. You've been keen to my musical intentions over the past years, I can't fool you. ha!

I had the guitar sound and how I wanted to play it in my head for a week before I even started the song or picked up the guitar. Then it went together like it wrote itself.

Pretty happy with it.

Cheers!

Merci xstokes :-)

Thank you, friend. But this is not an additional vocal, it kind of made the mood)

thank you very much for your comment

Thanks a lot Michael. So nice to hear from you after such a long time. Hope you're doing fine

Hi xstokes, thanks for your feedback, I totally agree with you and I forgot to remove those plucks in last seconds :)

thanks my friend !
Michael

Thank you xstokes , I still have trouble with the technique but your comment is really encouraging !

Hello xstokes,

I had no idea how dependant I was on the sound system in
my old car 2013 Prius RIP 482,803.2km
I always used my car stereo as the final word on my tracks.
I see now that it will take me a while to adjust to my new sound system hate it. I'm not sure I can trust my favorite headphones either, they have suffered a lot of abuse over the years and, I know the end is near for them lol.
perhaps a new sound will emerge for me a better sound I hope.

Your comments are always very encouraging, you also have a way with your discription of tracks that gives me a different perspective on the way I think about the content in future tracks, thanks...

PEACE...

Thank you for doing such a surgical listen to this track. You are correct in saying I pace myself when I'm playing. It's a technique I use to set the ear up for the next solo riff so things don't sound redundant. If I don't feel I'm telling a musical story on a track, I wont upload it. Thank you again for the complete listen and comment. PEACE. T576 OUT.

thanks Michael for your stop and comment !
Michael

im going to hell. what you wrote reminds me a bit of the scene from "natural bon Killer" when booth are high with this indian man and all the snakes gathering. beautifeul.

Hey Michael - Im good mate - fucking busy but feel finally returning to the land of the living after this interminable covid close down of the last few years. Hope you are doing well : )

Caught up with some of your recent tracks not too long age and ust listened to your new one - amazing

Thanks for the warm feedback on this one

Michael

Hello my friend, it's been a very long time, I hope you're doing well! I appreciate your input thank you for your support and i am glad that it somehow sounds or falls into the chill category/genre, I am aware that this track isn't perfect but according to my skills which I must admit I'm not a professional producer by any means, but still it's always pleasing to read these supportive comments as they tell me to move forward into exploring the music production world more and getting better at it as the time goes by.

Thanks xstokes for taking a listen, and the feedback.

Michael hell on wheels now theres a song title, hope your good tho bro, much love from this side of the Atlantic. got a great new job, gonna be a grandad for the 4th time. glad this was good for you, i feel as happy as i sound, great to see you about

My dear Mike, you are very much missed here.
Thank you very much for the comment, my dear friend.
Glad you like it mate.
Thanks for the fave.

That's great man, thanks to hear that! Go to bed/hope you have a great day :)

Being compared to Jeff Beck is huge of course, but making you smile is even better!

thank you xstokes. this is really a castaway song. i got this whole idea from police "messange in the boottle.

Just a castaway, an island lost at sea, oh
Another lonely day, with no one here but me, oh
More loneliness than any man could bear
Rescue me before I fall into despair, oh
- the police-
