Positive Comments: Maybe Richie Havens influence with the open tuning, sounded like a mandolin at the start, but became a guitar after a bit. Intro was catchy, got ones attention right off the bat! The feel was a real mix of folkish, bluesy, rock all rolled into one. The transition /addition of the piano 1/2 way through was very nice…a cool breath calming the fast passe of the main drive.
Constructive Comments: Really not much to complain about if at all. Maybe a change from the open tuning guitar sound to standard tuning/mandolin/classical guitar at some point to mix it up a bit. Maybe in addition to it…a ‘duet” of sorts? The “hook” to me wasn’t there, or I missed it…except the coda of “never knows”, repeated…a LOT, maybe a few times more than needed? BUT…actually these comments are all minor, you did a fine job, keep it coming!
