This production has a Travelling Wilburys feel to it, very nicely done indeed. Agree with AS about the use of the guitar licks. Perhaps you could try something else during the verses like a muted guitar or something just adding a rhythym texture. I think that could help bring the focus back to the lyric and give the remaining guitar pieces far more impact when they are played.

But its a good song, and I rate it. Willo be interesting to hear how a rocked up number sounds but I must admit to likeing the sound as it is. A good production could have some commercial success.

Kudos on the write.
Allan.

Thanks Alan & Seriousfun for the great feedback on this one.
 - you're not wrong Alan, I got a bit carried away with the strat' (always do) so will be taking some of those licks out/down at some point.  I'm still on a steep learning curve with recording so I know there's a lot of room for improvement in the production (e.g. I need to find out how to make reverb sound good), not to mention the singing.
I'm putting this song into the 'tweak it when I know a bit more' category, so thanks again everyone.

Well, as this one got 'bumped' again I had a listen (only commented on the lyric before) ... Nice one. Sounds good to me. Could probably benefit from a good arrangement and a little 'tuning'.

Good song, I like :)

Thanks ShinyThang - I didn't really want to bump it tbh, just wanted to make sure I thanked everyone for their feedback so I could let it slide down the list :-)
