I downloaded the drum track but the rest--bass, rhythm and lead--is me, such as it is. Be gentle.

I like it! It’s not easy playing and recording all those instruments, and then mixing it. Good job.

Love it, Dave! Lots of work as SixStringSurfer says.
Listened to your version of Sleepwalk too.

keep it up!

Pretty good! Might want to add a click track for next song just to lock the lead in a bit more when recording. Sometimes I have to turn my click up louder than my drums... :-D

Pretty impressive playing everything. The original almost has a swing feel to it, so that can make the timing feel different. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks, folks. I learned a lot while doing this. And thanks for the advice. I did notice that I was rushing the lead work, especially in the second half of the tune. (It’s that pesky red light effect.) But, I was kind of ready to move on to the next project at that point! Big Grin

It’s easy to lose your timing while playing, I know more than anybody. It takes a while to get used to playing to a click track, and even then I’ll have to go back and correct my timing in post production. I don’t want it to sound perfect, as this is not electronic trance music. Keep practicing, you will get better and better over time.

AGREED! KEEP AT IT!

I like the production and vibe, keep going!
But yes, metronome practice is essential and drum track often also demands click to stay tight during recording.
