(Folk rock jazz, elements of) Class Debate

[Pete B]

I wanted the acoustic guitar to lead this song, so that I could go more naturally with the flow of the emotions rather than follow a strict tempo. What a pain! It took a long time fitting everything to the fluctuating tempo - the tail wagging the dog. I'd do it again though, but not just yet.

It's a song about class war. Yes, that's still a thing!

All criticism/feedback welcome.

Vocals aren't my cup of tea but I like the music a lot. This must have been quite the process if guitar was your lead without tempo. I tried doing the same on an acoustic piece I started working on a few months back. Once I went to add drums I realized it just wouldn't work and had to scrap the entire thing. Haven't gone back to re-record any of it yet. So, congrats to you for pulling it off and getting it done even with the headaches.

Thanks for the feedback. Yeah it was a real slog adding the drums to the less than strict rhythm of the acoustic guitar. I had to move MIDI drum notes (if they were too far off) to be in line with the slice markers in the guitar's audio track -- loads of alternately opening and closing of the two tracks. Got any better way? Think I'll ask for opinions in the 'tutorials and techniques' part of the forum.

Interesting piece!

Thanks for listening and the feedback!
