I liked it.

It was a little roughly mixed in some instances, but very enjoyable to listen to overall.

Any chance for a higher bitrate version?

better than many many songs you hear that are not improvised.. :) that's when you can discern true talent. some of the most talented musicians, unfortunately, are 'unknowns'. :(

Yea, I've got a bunch of stuff I've been wanting to get to. When I get some done, I'll just post it.

Pretty good improvistation. I understand its a blues, but I'd like to hear you do some more vertical improv. Right know its really horizontal (Meaning you blanket the entire form with the blues scale, blues riffs), which is fine for blues, but if you changed it up and put in a few runs using ii-V-I's, it would be way cool. Then, if you know the theory, take those runs "out of the changes" using upper structures such as the flat 6 major chord and flat 5 minor chord.


Oh yea, midi saxes suck. I know you know that, but those things kill me everytime I hear them.

Seems like it's probably pretty decent guitar playing, but I can barely hear it over the crappy computer generated 'band'.

Yea, its pretty low. I'll encode a higher bitrate version tommorrow...hitting the sack soon

Instead of encoding a higher bitrate version, I've decided to replace some of the MIDI band with some live instruments this week and up a better, more listener friendly, higher bitrate version. I appreciate the feedback so far, and yea the Sax Sux...I feel it's really taking away from my performance.
