cool I really like that Funkadelic-style single-note riff that comes in in spots. you got the MIDI drums sounding really good. I personally like a cleaner sound for the more rhythm/chord-oriented parts, that's probably a matter of taste though! your soloing is impressive. nice post!

There's a lot that's good here.... The riff is great, and it matches the drums really well, both in terms of rhythm and in terms of tone and ambience. The drums themselves sound really good. A lot of the lead licks are great, and the guitar tones are really solid... When the tune strays, either in the bass or in the lead lines, the thing that slips is the time... I'd also vote for a more gradual fade-out of that last note... Ed Check out my latest song called Next Time Around (w/jiguma)

Domenic Some cool playing on this. I'm listening with your comment in mind that you "want to improve on this in the future", and am commenting in that regard. Things that are good: lead playing, rhythm playing. Things that could be improved: firstly, I'd be looking at keeping your basslines as low on the neck as you can for extra grunt - mightn't hurt to simplify some of the bass too. For me, bass is all about driving a song like this. The second thing that needs work - and this is much more critical if you want to make the tune sound better - is the drum track. I can hear maybe 2 different loops in there with very little variety at all. The beauty of using midi loops for drums is that you can go in and "micro manage" the drums - adding accents, shifting the beat, hitting crashes, playing around with the kick drum. It doesn't sound like you've done any of that. Here's a good link to show what I mean http://www.tweakheadz.com/how_to_make_original_drum_tracks.htm Maybe you are just starting out with using midi drums - it really is worth seriously considering midi loops as a basis for your drum tracks, but you need to do more than just drop them in and hope no-one will notice that its virtually the same 4 bar loop all the way through the song (although as you can see above, no-one has noticed!). I used midi drums on my latest at http://www.macjams.com/song/51466 if you want to hear what I'm talking about. You can obviously play guitar though - that sounds fine. It sounds like you have some good skills, but just need to work a little harder on the details. It will be interesting to see what you come up with. I hope this wasn't too critical, I don't mean to be negative. I noticed on your bio page that you are here to learn, and I don't think that telling you that everything is wonderful is really very helpful. This is a great site for feedback, and you'll get that if you ask for it in your song description as you have here. I've learnt so much here over the nearly 4 years I've been here. Good luck in learning the ropes! Neil Check out my latest song called Lost In Translation (w Mike Watkins)

Pretty Cool I especially dig the beginning guitar hook. It pulled me right in. One fun thing you might be able to do with that particular piece is record a few tracks of yourself playing along with that same riff to really fatten it up and make it slam us, like all those classic two guitar bands with the heavy riffs. I have a hard time with midi drums and think i'll take some of the above advice that was given to you. Check out my latest song called Post Nasal Drip

It's the mix Your playing is matured since your first posts. I could go into detail about you funky tune, but I will make it simple. When you mix picture yourself looking and listening to a band. You first hear the Bass and drums, they are the foundation of your mix. The rhythm is next (guitars, piano, ect.) Next is your solo and vocals. Picture a pyramid, starting with the foundation instruments, working on up. If the foundation is not there you have problems. If the solo instruments are to loud then the rest of the pyramid is lost. Keep up the good work you are doing with your music! Check out my latest song called Just Bumps in the Road
