    Philandering Fool : another guitar instrumental. How is the mix?

    Hey All, I've been working on a new guitar instrumental and wondering what people think. I've been experimenting a bit with compression on the guitar tracks which I don't normally use (I tend to prefer 'natural' amp compression). I think the mix is ok-ish but possibly a bit muddy in places...

    New track. I can't decide if its crap or not.

    I'm playing around with this little instrumental idea. I wasn't going for any particular sound although it seems to have evolved towards a world-music type of feel. I'm not overly sure about the arrangement or production. I was thinking perhaps it is overly busy? All comments are appreciated :-)...

    ROCK (Pre vocals) - Are the drums ok?

    Hey everyone, Was wondering if you'd all give this (pre-vocal) track a listen. Unfortunately, I had to program the drums, because I don't have access to a huge studio/live in a very noisy neighbourhood. So basically, rip this track apart...cringe at the drum samples, fret at the horrible guitar...
