This is a kind of Chet Atkins type tune. I've made some changes to it since I originally asked for feedback.

Thanks,
Stu

Nice piece
A bit too loose for my ears
I'm not hearing/seeing any edit points, which without, will diminish your chances of placement greatly

Thank you, Robert. Question: When you say loose do you mean that you hear some timing issues or are you referring to the feel?
one of the listing specs is "bouncy feel". I was aiming for that.

Hi Stu

The basic idea for the listing works, but here are some critical points IMHO:

- the timing is way off, it's basically not grooving
- the drums sound a bit cheap (keep in mind libraries need stems with only drums and bs, so the drums need to sound decent)
- the track is too busy to be under a dialog (listen to the refs) Maybe a more boom-chack accompaniment from the guitar would clear it up.
- there are basically no edit points (at least every 8 bars an editor should be able to cut)
- sorry, the violin is a cool idea but on top of an already busy track an element that stands too much in the way of future dialog.
- The track is maybe too long? (the listing asks for about 2 min, 2.39 is definitely over the limit IMO)

Good Luck and Happy New Year

Thank you, Chris. This is very useful feedback. Much appreciated.

Anytime

I've shortened it and cleaned it up. Any feedback on the new version would be much appreciated.
