Nice guitar solo, hits some  of the changes perfectly. The mix sounds good.<\/p>\n<p><b>Constructive Comments: <\/b>Sounds like backing tracks to a vocal song but then the solo happens around 1:30 so it&#8217;s probably an instrumental. No strong hook element, mostly the first part of the song in chord changes with the first guitar solo at :38 leading into the keyboard B section, then another solo. Your solos are probably to hook eigh? Maybe explore some guitar theme ideas. Simple melody could be just holding a few notes and make a pattern of when you change rhythmically and you will add  =contrast and depth. Little something more for the listeners. You may like it just the way it is, all good. For me it is missing a hook. But then if it&#8217;s backingtracks but idt it is then it would be fine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Broadjam Artist: FRED GROSSSong: Along For The RideReviewer: Dave Haddad (CenterPeace)Positive Comments: Great intro, it had me wondering where 1 was for a sec which I always likeNice groove reminiscent of early CSN or many classic roots rock bands.
