Just a quick bump back ...
Back in the studio this morning working on this piece ... I blended some of Mark Crumb's original guitar works (just a couple riffs) into it. The thing is, I had to use the full original mix to get at his guitar. Did I pull it off okay? Stu Gort provides the rest of the amazing guitar work.

Reading back, I probably should rephrase:
What I had to do in order to blend the git riffs into the piece, is sort of isolate the original guitar fills by employing an EQ that focused on the guitar frequencies ... akin to removing the vocal for karaoke. What's going on in those parts is that there is a whole other mix of the song coming up underneath ... different drums/bass/etc ... while allowing the guitar to poke through because of the EQ applied.
My question is, "Was I able to hide and blend the other mix well enough so that all it sounds like is a guitar playing in this one?"
The spot in question is right after the second chorus with the guitar fill that is panned hard right. Notice on the last "It's true" that the vocal becomes doubled ... because the fill played over the vocal ... and I couldn't remove it ...
Mark Crumb, my college band guitarist played on the original ... and I wanted to add his voice in tribute to his memory. He passed about 7 years back at the age of 48 from a massive stroke.

I see you in stacked heels when I listen to this. And cowbell. If you do the video, don't sit down. 
As for the arrangement, why not? I can see people listening to this and not consciously noticing the addition after the second chorus, but picking up on the fuller energy. Cool!

This is why I wouldn't hire you to produce my video.
Thanks for the comment, P ... I've got fairly good ears ... and I wasn't picking up much conflict with the addition of a second arrangement in behind the first for such a short insert ...

Very nice! As is everything I've heard from you. Another 250,000 trys and I may achieve something this cool.

Thanks! It's Stu Gort's guitar performance that really makes it work ... but truly appreciate the kind words!

So this guy, let's call him Wayne, says, "Hey, do you want me to do a bass part for "The Road to Nowhere?" to this other guy, call him "extremely sucky bass player", who replies "I'd be forever grateful."
So the party of the first part fulfills his pledge and sends the party of the second part an amazing bass performance so that the party of the second part can mix that part into the other parts and party on dudes!
Here's the new mix, now with more cowbell (serious!). It rocks. Please enjoy!

Sounds very slick and high professional. Had a Meatloaf type feel at first. I guess the verb you're using. @1:32 a little bass rumble on my system. Just a tad, see if others hear it.

Thanks David! When I get back into the studio, I'll throw it up on the monitors and listen for it!
I adore Wayne's contribution on this. I can't stop playing "air bass".

I think that might be the problem, little too much love. Maybe, we can see what others say.
