Oh, I am wondering what people use to listen to the tracks here (headphones, speakers). I have found in the past that if I mix using headphones it sounds awefull thru speakers but if I mix using speakers it sounds great thru headphones.
If I use speakers I'll be run out of the house so it's strickly headphones for everything. :(

@Alan L Cole : aside from your guitar sound that I just love I really dig those "strange" notes that you play, especially the first ones to create a theme.
@fendrguitplayr : lovely opening; you are swinging! Oh, and that breakfast looks so tasty!
@SbS : like the rythmically used notes on the beginning and your bluesy playing.
@JCL50 : I am really not in the position to give you constructive hints how to play jazz, but it was a pleasure to listen to your track. I think you had some creative lines going.
@Mjark : use of delay is not to be exspected on a track like this, but it gives your playing an airy vibe. Some really nice jazzy lines, too.
@Gytaurust : you got me with that opening! Like the easiness of your playing.
@klasaine : opening sounds familiar, I love how you vary it then. There´s a beautiful frehness in your playing.

@[email protected] : you had your very own musical language here, out of the (jazz) box. To answer your questions: I always mix with the monitors, at least before finishing a track. Guitar and mix sound good.
@mixmkr 2023 : you sure had your fun with this! Reminds me in a way of Vanilla Fudge playing songs from other artists.
@KennyWTelejazz : hey, nice you dropped by again and brought that track with you! Just "wow".

Dark morning, dark tone:


Hi Ullrich ! I like your ballsy tone on this . The notes on your 3 upper strings have a pleasing melodic type of tone that just jump out full of joy ...
I used to love listening to Blues Guitarist Son Seals . I'm hearing his type of sound and bending approach in your playing on this .

good one ,

Kenny

Thanks again Mellencaster.

Had just enough time to play today. I'm gonna go and hear some live music afternoon & evening with a friend, so will listen the tracks tomorrow.



Nice economy of notes ...Yeah you took your time and did a nice slow simmer up to slow burn .
Good approach and you sounded good ,

Kenny

@Alan L Cole - Dark and cool! The dissonant lines work well for the theme of your video it adds tension and chaos but in an orderly fashion.
@fendrguitplayr - Very nicely played . I felt the jazz/blues expressions in your version.
@udoering - There are sweet elements of jazz in your lines but the blues stood out in your track quite well .Lovely tone.
@SbS - I get a rhythm and blues Bill Haley vibe through listening to your version. Sweet tone and playing.
@JCL50 - Look at you play jazz blues you sound like a natural. Love the tone and the style of playing.
@Mjark - Sorry I missed out on your track.
@Gytaurust - Lovely, Craig. Sounds great.
@klasaine - Classic old school playing, Ken! Very enjoyable phrasing and playing.
@[email protected] - Sounds good all through your track . Nice one, Roger.
@mixmkr 2023 - Thinking outside the box goodness. Love the guitar playing and techno effects.
