Equator - Yours was a little different as usual. Thats a good thing! Do you consider your style Prog? Your style is striking me as a kinda pink floyd/Rush/Carlos Santana influence. Not so much on this song as on some of your other stuff. I liked your opening. I also liked the affects at about the 47 second mark. And you pulled off a good lick at the 1:21 mark. Yours seemed to lack sustain and the highs were not there. But that was probably your intent. Nice entry.

Thanks for listening man. You are right about my influences, I grew up listening to Santana and my friends and me use to get drunk listening to Pink Floyd; not a fan of Rush though.
The effects you mentioned is actually my steel slide. The lack of sustain may be due to old strings or me playing too staccato. (metronomes can do that to you )
Thanks for pointing out the absence of high frequencies. I did try to warm the sound boosting the lows and cutting the highs “a little” and got carried away.

Ok. My turn now to give you my honest opinion on your take.
The tone is excellent. What kind of gear are you using?
The guitar was a little too loud and the backing got lost in the mix; also your guitar and the backing are fighting for the same place in the mix, panning either one about 25% to the sides would do the trick.
Yeah, there were some sloppy passages, chopped notes and off pitch bends.
On the brighter side…you have a nice vibrato technique, good timing, you played a few pull offs and managed to bend some notes to the right pitch. Also, you played on the low and high register, and not played in just three strings; which is good.
Keep recording and rocking.
