Music no words, I have no words for this!

No, the snare's lovely. You seem to have got away with three guitars okay - nice. But why pan two of them right and one left? Why not balance them better? Cuz of the epiano part that comes in later?

This is a very slick, very smooth piece of music. The only thing I got is an arrangement question or two. The horns have a question mark over them, I think. And considering this is an instrumental, no vocal, not much variation, four minutes might be a bit long. Maybe scrap a verse? Either way, it's lovely.
 
Yea Dobro I'll take another listen to my guitar pans. Two of the guitars were panned approximately 10 o'clock and 2 o'clock as I remember and the modulated guitar was panned hard right for effect. Hard to know but the modulated guitar might be what you are hearing that throws the balance off. Anyways the horns seem to muddy up the mix in the end and are likely unnecessary to this song. I think sometimes I include a new sound or instrument because it's new to me and maybe also I challenge myself to see how many instruments I can use and still get a good mix. Yes I'm sure the song is too long for most. Sometimes I just can't put my guitar down.
 
Nice sound, overall. Kind of reminded me of old George Benson stuff.
To equal off the guitar imbalance, move the mod guitar in just a little and put the lead guitar part closer to center. Not sure the keys really add to the song, I do think they tend to bury the left guitar part in indistinctness.

I prefer the LCR panning, please don't change it! great playing, arrangement and mix. The tune also isn't too long for normal people without ADD, we live in a weird age where people can't focus for long enough, it's not your problem.

I think it sounds real nice how it is. I don't think it's written for a song with words though.
 
Really nice song.. It made me want to listen to it. My opinion is i like it the way it is. Mix is really good, playing is great, as is the arrangement. It reminds me so many different players ! Great job !
 
Nice mix.
I like the bass guitar a lot. Lots of stuff going in both ears.

I'd go for a smoother fade-out.

Like old Benson, my head's spinning. I guess I'll take that as a compliment though. Not sure if I'll change the pans or keys but I'll mess with it. Thanks for your feedback.

Thanks Btyre, I listened to your songs, nice nylon string work. I studied classical guitar many moons ago but I haven't picked up a gut string in years mostly because my oldest son confiscated it. Makes me want another one.

Thanks foulphil, This song was never intended as anything but an instrumental. I attempted a play on words in the title but I know my sense of humor is lost on most people. Sometimes I think I'm the only one who understands what I'm trying to convey.

Well I figured as much :D
 
Snare sounds good and I think it's at a good level. It's pretty far forward, but it works in this mix.

I thought everything sounds pretty good. Good playing too.

Only one thing... there are lots of guitar parts and they're all pretty clean. I nice pad rhythm guitar that has some crunch might be a nice addition.

Thanks TripleM, More guitar, I love it. I think I'm ready to move on to something else though. I appreciate your encouragement.
 
Yes, indeed. Move on and post more of this fine jazz/blues guitarsy rock! :)
 
Keep it. find a hook. bridge it with maybe all instruments find a groove with all others but walk out of a bit at a time,,
sounds like lot, but thats not what I mean,,, just a short tight fall together, bridge, and back out separately,,,
Sometime space of nothing gives it more,,,

Good stuff man,,, :D
