Hey there! :)

I was going to write a little bit for each person who had submitted a song and offer suggestions and all that.. but I just haven't had the time this month.. I haven't even had a chance to record my solo for the September solo yet.. *sigh*

Here's what I got so far...

BCNick:
Hey.. really nice.. Love the tone you have there, really matches well with the rest of the subdued, backing track instruments. There's nothing really wrong with your track. Everything I hear is pleasant to the ear, except that because the track goes for a whole 2 mins, your solo seems to drag on a bit until about the 1:28 mark, at which point you throw something different in for a little bit but then return to the same thing as before. I see so much potential in what you have created here, and I don't really know what needs to be added to make it more dynamic.. it just feels like something is missing from it..


Equator:
I really enjoyed the second half of the track you did. I particularly like the section between 1:20 and 1:41 and then it goes back to the slower solo bits again and the feeling is gone for me... This track was quite slow, and I felt that you struggled with the tempo being so slow through a lot of the beginning of the track until you grabbed the track by the horns and steered it the way you wanted it to go, which was just before the halfway mark through the track.


Joey:
Loved almost every part of what you did on that take.. the only thing that really detracted from the whole thing was the 30-second-long trill between 1:44 and 2:15 or so.. I like the trill itself just not the amount of time it was used in one continous stretch of music. On the other hand, you really made it sound like there was more than one guitar there on many occasions making it enjoyable to listen to during the first 1:44.. the remaining section starting from about 2:15 needs a little more work on the delay timing but it still drives the song home to the end of the track regardless. After you read all of that, you're probably thinking I didn't vote for you... but I did because I enjoy listening to that first bit so much. Thanks.
