I think this manages to sound harmonically complex without actually being harmonically complex (possibly - it could be more complex than I think). I especially like the half step chord change in the beginning. And then the middle part does some unexpected modulation that works perfectly. I really like the guitar tones. I wish I would play - and compose - like that. It's got a funky beat without demanding your attention. Rather it gently invites you to join in, and you're rewarded when you do.

that you are satisfied with the piece, the complexity itself i think as you said could be elaborated, and ill look into that with further compositions, the song is totally meant to be funky and put that jump into your step, i especially like how you noticed the modulations in the mid section, the melody throughout that middle part i think drives the tune to the next section, i still feel like it could use some more editing, but im thru with it ... on to the next tune ...

thanks for your input!!

... and composing / arranging chops, too. I like the chromatic descending chords. The melody sound in the mellow middle section is very nice. Guitar? Synth?

Some parts are a little out of tune, but mostly it's fine. When two guitars play together, that's when I hear the intonation problems. But they only happen once in a while.

Fresh enjoyable groove here. You've got lots of talent, Sherrill! Glad you posted.
