Always a bit reticent to offer advice here, it’s hard to know if people who post here are looking for genuine criticism or not…

But if you care to know…

One of the things that is the most difficult on keyboards is to articulate guitar sounds well. Recent developments with AI articulation with some keyboards have made it a bit easier, but you still need to voice and phrase exceptionally carefully, as the slightest slip up can ruin the illusion.

As far as I know, Ketron haven’t yet gone down that path, or if they have, the main guitar you used doesn’t do articulated phrasing, right? So, right out of the gate it’s easy to spot that it’s a guitar ‘sound’, but not really guitar ‘playing’.

I think as well that the choice to go with a really different drum beat may have worked against it, the original ( https://youtu.be/0WOWi_okrhg ) had a sort of soft pop ska or reggae kind of beat, and straight 8ths. But your style has an inside swing factor, and at the tempo you’re doing it at, the swing seems a little rushed. Not to mention it’s hard to get the self played guitar to match that swing value.

But, as always, the Ketron drum sound is nice and upfront, lovely dynamics on the fills (why oh why can’t MIDI styles get this right?!) and the tune is nice and easy on the ears.

Unfortunately, that’s the double edged sword of audio drum styles. If this were a MIDI style, it would have been fairly easy to get into the style’s editor and relax the swing factor a bit, but an audio style is what it is. So it’s doubly important to make sure what you play matches the style’s groove, and this beat don’t make that easy!

But it’s great you’re still posting. Don’t get discouraged! One of the things about an English language forum is, it’s hard to listen to a song when you have no emotional connection to the lyrics. They shape how you feel about a phrase so much, they help define the music, and vice versa the music helps define how you interpret the lyrics. But if you can’t understand them, that’s all gone. Which might be a part of why so few commented…

But in fairness, I put up a few demos on the Roland sub-forum if stuff, and didn’t get that much commentary on some of them, it’s just the nature of the beast… 😎🎹
