Here is a guitar track, let me know your thoughts.

My first thought was: this is a good flow with a sweet guitar tone, Then came: this is the melding I talked about. Making the track much more cohesive.
And at around 00:19 you sounded ready to break into a lead line. I liked that.
Maybe that phrasing can be developed more, starting earlier in the A section.
I meant on top of the melded rhythmic mix we have right now.
Great job Brother, matches the intent I envisioned, What are your thoughts?
If you want to hear more I can easily add to it, however I was trying to keep it open for others to add keys, vocals, horns, more guitar players, etc. if we are not getting much interest let me know and I can surely thicken it up!
We are in agreement Brother, keeping it open and waiting for @soushi888 and/or other jammers to respond is our best focus at this time. The SteemerGleener soundbed is wonderful. Thank you for your melding guitar while keeping your producer's mind on the big picture.
I am just super excited, my muse is active and prematurely going wide with possiblilties. :D
Cool, just let me know how we're making out. If we need more guitar work later I all in.
Received a reply from @soushi888. He was unable to access the track so I put it on soundcloud. And also added your reply track which I call Mix A in the description.
He may add piano first. Let's see where the track and discussion goes.
This is great fun and really exciting. Lots of first time(s) for me creating a song, on steemit and also the internet.
I'll be waiting patiently in the wings....
Greetings Brother. May I have your permission to upload your version of SteemerGleener to soundcloud? @soushi888 is unable to acess file.He sent a request link for dropbox,however I am unable to successfully upload to it. So soundcloud is my next option. If you have other solutions, dont hesitate to let me now. Thank you for your consideration.
Really nice work men ! I'll add my saxophone first I think ! I'll post my addition next week !
Cool.
Hello ! I'm sosorry I miss it ! My account was blocked when I saw your post !
I can't access to your track ! Can you post it back ?
You made a A and B part ? Nice !
Post it back and I add the piano ! (It take time, but we'll got it !)
Here is the file: https://www.reverbnation.com/control_room/artist/5841287/songs
No worries, no hurry, have fun with this SteemerGleener track!
Also @brimax is working on a guitar track.
I'm sorry, but there is nothing in the page taht you are linking. Can you send it with a direct link or with another hoster please ? I can't wait to hear your bass ideas !
I put the bass and drum track on Soundcloud.
After the long initial delay the first jamm is now proceeding;
@brimax played guitar and today (Friday) sent Mix A with Guitar.
Please share your thoughts and ideas on our first fun steem-jamm.
This project is really exciting for me. First time creating a song on steemit and on the internet. Wow. so Cool!
Collaborative music is so fun ! I love your bass track ! The mix of @brimax is removed. I guess I'll work with his mix. If the harmonic is enough clear with his guitar, I'll add the saxophone directly ! I'll play piano too for fun untill I find something cool to put on your work, but my specialisation still the sax !
The best I think is to work together like we do and use the tag #steem-jamm for every news. What I have in mind is making collaboratives projects, like others steem musicians do, but with a common tag ! It's my first online collaborative music project too ! It will be really nice !
Thank you for the kind words Brother. This collaboration is great fun and already has a life of its own. @brimax's track is a wonderful mix and a melded soundbed ready to add some spice. Maestro, sax as you please.
You're also encouraged to play piano on the bass and drum track too. I would like to hear your piano on the track for another perspective and more possibilities. If you do then naming the new track #STEEM-JAMM 1a-SteemerGleener will make it easier to locate if need be. #Steem-Jamm is the perfect home base for our collaborations as we continue having fun with our recordings and discussions.
Yeah totally ! I practice with the track today. I'll begin with the piano finally, I've got some ideas for complete the harmony. For the sax, I'll take only a part as solo and let the place for another soloist ! Can you send me the .mp3 (or .wav or whatever file) of the track ? Like that I'll be able to record on it with audacity.
I love the name SteemGleener ! It's an original first steem jamm !
I can send an mp3. Where shall I send it? I am new to this so unsure of best practices.
So I put the mp3 on dropbox, my box is: bilbop steemer.
Go to Dropbox and then Open Audacity select track /then new/audio track. Click on and hold and drag onto Audacity track. See if that works.
I got the @brimax version ! Really nice !! It will be groovy :')
Yeah, flow with it brother.
