Hey man thanks for listening!
My wife had the exact same comment, needed more percussion! This was

an artificially short piece, as I created it to be performed at a

special concert so had to limit it at about 4 minutes. I think that

center section needs to be a LOT longer, and I may re-do the piece

with that in mind. The guitar sound is thin, I admit, and not as thick

and heavy as the other piece. When I redo it, I would likely make it a

bit heavier and thicker. Less harmonies here, too, since it's not

something used much in Persian or Arabic music.
I got a fretless guitar this week, going to start working on

incorporating that sound into my music soon!
