"Interesting..."

Very warm tone. It has a very solemn mood and timbre as well. Only problem is, it doesn't go anywhere.
Like the guy who reviewed before me, I think this sounds like a jam tape. Just you getting some ideas out of your head and into the guitar. Which is not bad, but typically jam tapes don't really give much aesthetically as a listener. It does to the writer, but unless you are looking for a good tunes to sit back and get high to, jam tapes really don't do much.
I do love the overall sound however. Simply beautiful. The sound and tonal qualities are very rich and warm. This has such a wonderful texture to it. I would love to hear a real song come out of this. With or without vocals, I think this could turn into something very wonderful.
I'm giving you a 2/5 and 5/10 because there is potential here. And like I said, I love the sound. But there really doesn't seem to be much in the way of writing. Just kinda go along with the flow, and that is ok sometimes. But a little variety is necessary in everything. So I hope you expand on this. If you do please send me a pm. Cause like I said, I would love to hear it.

Author's Response:
Thanks and I guess I agree. Might remark that I never intended it to sound like a jam tape - it is a pretty simple experiment with three guitars playing the same basic progression in canon. While that results in some interesting harmonies, I share the feeling that it lacks any actual direction or variety.
I do plan to expand on this, I just don't know how yet. Your comments were once again welcome! Thanks a lot.
