Description
A vaguely Pink Floyd-esque instrumental. Couldn't find a plectrum so the second solo had to be played with a one penny coin!

Very cool
Love the guitar on this; the playing is excellent, and the guitar tone is lovely. Isn't it Brian May who uses a coin as a plectrum? Esteemed company! By the way, it's good to hear the word 'plectrum'; as an Irishman who grew up saying 'plectrum', I got some funny looks when I moved to the States until I learned to say 'pick'! Very nicely done. Peace.

Eric Johnson at MJ?
Sounds like something that he might try to pull off. Lovely chord progression, great sound on the leads. Enjoyed mucho.

Thanks!
I don't have anywhere near the technique of Mr Johnson but thanks for the flattering comparison!
Cheers

Hey, Steve...
I like the bigger and lusher backgrounds and mixes you're getting.

Certainly a nice stereo bed for the soloing action to play around with... Like those descending arpeggios, too, and think you were wise not to solo over those bits...

The drums are a far cry from the ol' drum machine days, and serve your talent much better....Love the airy sizzle in the snare and cymbals...It might love a bit of anchoring from a stronger bass drum and bass guitar...

I think that on the equipment I'm listening on, the solos seem to sort of sit on top of the mix a bit... Might be cool to work sonically with a smidgen of reverb and panning to help the solos to sit within the mix a little more...

But heck, I think this is you moving in one of your strongest directions, and I'll gratefully download it...

Do they still have pennies - or are you a horder?
Steve,

The sound you got here is really rich and full. I still can't get anything like this out of Logic Studio at this stage - great sound!

This is possibly the most interesting drum track you've done, although I'm still of the opinion that you need a bass player in there as well.

Beautiful recording and playing.

Cheers from Oz,
Neil

Psych!
I am heartened to see the guitar still the axe of choice for lots of MJ-ers. This is a great, expressive tune. Not to be too critical but I'd tuck the lead in a couple of DBs to leave us "leaning in" to hear it all instead of backing off to get the full mix. That said I'm a fan, glad I - a relative newbie here - found your music.

A couple passages remind me of my favorite "secret" old blues-prog band, Nektar in the height of their early 70s psychedelic explorations.
