Made few changes with synth sounds and added distorted guitar and orchestral part:)
Pleasure to ears and mood!
I like the oom-pah bass pattern and the fun melodies towards the beginning. The mix is super loud, clear, and clean, and I like the sound design too. The piece could use a bit more harmonic variety at times, and I think some of the transitions were a bit abrupt (like at :54). The energy level is pretty similar for a lot of the piece, although I like the moments where the mix is a bit more spacious (like at 2:18). The orchestral elements at 2:18 were nice, although I wish they came through the mix a bit louder. I like how you finished the piece off with a more climactic, bass-heavy section, although the arrangement of the piece still feels a bit formulaic and square, with major changes almost exclusively occurring at even 8-bar intervals. It’s just not a recipe for a very dynamic-sounding composition. Still, the mood, instrumentation, and mixing are all top-notch here. Keep at it, Depard! ^_^

I not a geata persim my self but dam you made me in to one
Oh man, this is some good stuff right here, great job on the song
Oh yes, get some. I kind of wish you would have kept that lead guitar instead of the cartoon-y lead. It kind of diminishes the rest of the song. But every time that guitar comes back in then I'm all in. The gypsy caravan would be proud. It doesn't go on for too long and it changes just enough to hold my attention, and it definitely holds my attention. I really like this. I love the end too.
Thanks! This was one of the biggest questions for me while creating this track - keep solo guitar with only "guitar sound" as main instruments or add some synth sounds. I just wasnt able to find right guitar tone and option with synth sounded more interesting :D
Please contact me if you would like to use this in a project. We can discuss the details.
