Will be grateful for any comments and surely constructive criticism as this is my first recording effort. I have spend some 6 months learning, experimenting and trying and understand that it is not perfect but hope at least enjoyable) I did everything by myself from composing and playing to arranging, mixing and mastering and surely recommend this experience)

Good stuff. I really like your bass sound and how present it is in the mix.

One thing I would add for constructive criticism is that you could add another guitar doing chords into some of the songs. Not necessarily a constant rhythm guitar, but strumming a chord and letting it sustain at the beginning of the bar in various places.

Thank you so much! I like this kind of 80s new wave prominent bass.
Some tunes were initially arranged for trio and I decided to keep them that way, so there’s only one guitar part. Now I am not limited so surely will be adding more!

Im honestly really liking a lot of what's on here. Me personally I always love a heavy tremolo on the chords in the back to set the atmosphere but that's more of a personal decision. Melodies are tight!

All of these tunes were originally made and arranged for trio and played in trio for years, so it was a little difficult for me to move to multi layered guitars. A lot of things to learn, thank you for a feedback!

During 3,5 months some $300 sales were collected and sent to my brother who is now fighting with russians. Some important equip that he needed was successfully funded!
Thank you so much!
