I enjoyed your rendition Julian- some really nice tongue blocking technique on display. Great flutters, especially @ 113 and 129 and I also like the tone of your 6 draw . For me, a bit more attack on the 4 draw would improve the chorus starting @ 97. Great job all round!

Thanks Rob, your comments

Thanks Dave, my son made the same observations with regards sound quality. Not too sure why I played this unplugged other than I liked way it sounded....... so will file this, try a plugged version next, and embrace your comments on settings too.

Cheers Julian

Your playing is right on.  Nice bend control.  Great tone.

Why didn't you use any reverb and/or delay?  That would have really put you into the song nicely. 

Right now, it sounds like you are too "up front" sonically.  That means you sound like you are not in the same room as the other musicians.  It even sounds like you might need to take the gain down a couple of decibels too.

Could you add a little reverb and/or delay to your track and post again?  You can do that with whatever program you are using.

I can't wait to hear the results.
