VELVET VAMPS: "Losing Love"

The foundational tracks for this song were recorded quite a number of years ago. It wasn't until this weekend that I finally finished it with the help of my songwriting partner Amanda.
The electric guitar at the opening is a Douglas Gravity P90 with a Squier Strat neck.
I don't exactly remember what the acoustic is, though it's likely a Harley Benton CLD-41.
There's also a Gibson Les Paul throughout the rest of the track, mainly for the heavier bits, and also on the main solo near the end.

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. I really labored over the mix and arrangement of this track, and I have to admit I'm not one-hundred percent happy with it. But at some point you've just got to put it out there. I find hard rock tracks easier to mix, while ballads and pieces with more dynamics are a challenge. The later require the art of subtly, and at heart I'm really just a guy who likes loud, aggressive, rude guitar. :lol:
