Love this groove, nice funky keys Frank! Guitar work is flawless as usual, maybe a bit too loud in the mix though. Cool sh*t! cool
RIP Prince: thank U 4 a funky Time...

Dont know what ya call it...
(that scale work towards the end...) mmmmm... I like biggrin



And your probably gonna hate me Frank....
but I have to say it...
as just a mere listener...
the santana sound really
takes away from your skill
and ability...
I hear that sound before
I hear you... or is that purposeful at this point...?

loved the beat and keys too.... biggrin

The guitar sounds NOTHING like Santana, neither tonally or musically similar in the slightest.

fair dinkum... I'm just going off first impressions...
as a listener...I dont own any Santana and am just going
on the vibe stored away in the memory banks.... I didnt pay
to much attention to Zappa either.... does it sound
more like him.... ? lol lol lol

No! It sounds like Frank Axtell with overdive. Something in the phrasing just reminded me of those beautiful lead guitar albums like Shut up 'n'play yer guitar (1-30 and guitar.
