I guess I`m a hick. I dont know what a Yamaha silent guitar is..
pretty theme you developed. if you break off and use a ride cymbal in the 2nd movement with brushes, or drop a crash occasionaly it would take away from that repetitive drum machine sound. You have very tasteful fingering on that guitar, and the tuning is impeccable. There is a very short woodwind glitch at 2:20 I`d take a look at. Again very nice man, and the levels werent banging the ceiling..
 
I can't really judge the silent guitar as the synth is leading most of the time.

How'bout doing a song with the guitar as the lead, would love to hear how it sounds. :)
 
I can't hear the YAMAHA?!?!?!

(very VERY small joke there).

Okay, that guitar sounds direct - You need to mic an acoustic (see, that's another tiny joke...lol). Sounds really great. How do those things play? You got the nylon string version...very very nice.

(Toki - it's like a really light, hollow bodied acoustic, but w/o the soundhole or a resonating top...and very good electronics - I think...I didn't google it or anything, so I'm sure I'm off on stuff, :D)

Super nice git work. Admittedly not my first choice of listening material (genre), but I looped it a few times, and that's usually a good sign to me. I'd like to hear the guitar up just a bit in the mix...not screaming, but comparable in levels (at times) to the (pan?) flute sounds.

Toki articulated what was bugging me, I think...especially with that reverb tail kinda' ONLY on the stick, you get sorta' hammered with the repetitiveness of the percussion after a bit.

Anyway, if this post sounds negative, I'm being pretty nitpicky...the horse-clops alone make this an entertaining piece.

(Oh, and I'm listening on headphones...sorry...it's temporary).
 
Thanks for all the comments guys, I'll get to work on that drum track and reverb.

The silent guitar plays/feels incredible and the B-band pickup makes it sound wonderful through an amplifier. I played it through an acoustic amplifier in the store and fell in love. Unfortunately, my amplifer at home is generating too much noise so I went direct on this recording - good ears Chris.
