Broadjam Artist: Donovan Tucker
Song: If Lovin You Is Wrong ( instrumental)
Reviewer: Rich Goldin
Positive Comments: The guitar tone is quite nice as is the general phrasing of the guitar melody. The utilization of the organ backing (pad) track is very effective. The piece’s mood and utilization of a minor key is intriguing and holds the listener through the entire track. I like the low volume guitar chords in the background. They offer a nice touch.
Constructive Comments: I have several suggestions and they are mostly technical. The drum track is not mixed in proportion to the composition. The kick drum is up much too loud in the mix and distracts from the nicely constructed lead guitar figures. I would recommend widening the stereo image a bit more. Perhaps pan the lead guitar slightly to the left and move the rhythm guitar over to the right. Sometimes these instrumental tracks often do not develop drama, i.e., build the guitar solo in intensity mid piece so that the composition sounds more constructed vs. jam oriented. That’s just my taste showing and in no way a negative. Keep up the fine work.
