I like it. The guitar has sometimes a bit to many much gain but it's a thing of my personal taste ;)

I agree. I like it too - it's a catchy tune - but for my personal taste it's a bit "mushy" and not quite the clean tone I like. As I say - just a personal thing.

Excellent melody! I liken your tone to the later Dick Dale sound. -Marty

Sounds good. I am listening in my sound treated studio on Yamaha HS80s coming out of an Apogee Symphony.

The bass line - there are some frequencies that are louder than others. Noticeable differences in volume. There are may things that could cause this - from having your instrument set up properly to recording in a bad room. I don't know what the remedy is here. Maybe compression could help, I dunno.

Surely I'm not the first to recognize this as Dick Dale's "Belo Horizonte"? Sounds good, whoever wrote it.

Great fun tune! Mostly clean with just a little bite here and there. A fun happy song which is good during these times of uncertainty.
