That acoustic guitar and drum pattern work in tandem for a great basis for the song. That pulse in the top end sounds really cool for the arrangement with those pads providing the forward melody. I really dig the foray into the distorted guitar samples! Tasty chord at 02:29 too. Definitely going in my favourites.

this track has a lot of potential. the drums kinda spoil it for me, bc they sound very artificial.
1:12 great guitars and melody here. and yes, 2:29... nice.

I like how this track builds up, especially the section where the climbing chords are doubled with the guitar.

Thanks! In retrospect, I wish I hadn't leaned into the top line pulse for so much of the track, but hey, lesson learned. Glad parts of this still worked out okay!

Thanks for the feedback! Good points - I think in next year's off-season I might try to reevaluate the way I approach the beats in my tracks. But thanks for listening in the meantime!

oh my goodness this track is so good I am LOVING the guitar, I was like, "wait did I play on this?"

and then lol I come to the description and it says "UGH" whatever, I don't care about your opinion of your work!  I love this track!  I would probably just want an aggressive mix (u kno me) with super loud drums and guitars - maybe I can cover this track with acoustic guitar/electric guitar/trumpet/vocals/drums???????
