I tried a different piano part. I couldn’t feel anything to play behind the guitar solos so I just tried to stay out of the way. I think this one is better.

Thanks man. Gladly accepted. Merry Christmas my friends. Hope you guys have a great one.

Spent a little time today mixing all our tracks and trying to blend what we did so far. Its growing on me for sure. Thanks again my friends.

Great mix, Tes. And the new tracks fit very nicely. I meant to post last week about the piano and bass tracks but I was a little under the weather and not doing much. Anyway, great work fellas.

Yes, Tes I think some of what I was playing was too much and git in the way of the guitar, on the “right on baby” part I was playing CM9 which is basically the same as Am9 and going to the A with B in the bass quite a bit throughout the song. I will do it over with fewer notes and more just comping the chords, thanks for you kind words and suggestions,

Tes I put down a piano track. Not sure yet if it's "the one", see what you think. I'd like to wait and see what things sound like if/when other tracks are added..

Thanks Mike. Much appreciated. I don't know how long before or even if any other 'things' are going to show up in here but I went ahead and published what you did so far in hopes it inspires you to keep working on it. I like the general vibe you were going after in the track you submitted. There were some good ideas in it for sure. I think less is more on this one, bro. Hope you decide to develop it a bit more. If it helps, during the 'right on baby' sections, I'm going back and forth between two chords; A minor 9 and A major with B in the bass. Hope that helps you out a little. Thanks again for taking this on my man.
