Hello everyone, it's me again, back with an all clean guitar instrumental for you.
 
https://soundcloud.com/fendicator/carry-on
 
Any and all feedback would be greatly appreciated.
I wanna make sure I got a decent mix before I put the video together for it.
You all had great advice for me last time, so I figured I would ask for more :).
 
Update: 1/23/2017, video done https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tQyonEc-VA .

Nice one! The mix is fairly good, guitars are well played. Everything sounds nice and tight. The only thing missing is a memorable melody played over the top of it all.

Yes, it's a brilliant backing track, but it sounds incomplete.

After putting in some work today on the track to make it feel more complete, I added an extra guitar part to go more along with the rhythm, 2 guitars 75% L and R. I added nothing to the very end of it.

However, now I feel it may be to busy? I am wondering if I should ditch the lead all together? Except at the very end I like that part. The subtle sadness to it sound good to me. I could be wrong though.

I just listened to the second version...  I kinda like the lead in there, though level-wise it doesn't necessarily come across that way because the clean L/R guitars are hotter.  I wonder what it would sound like with a synth lead trading with guitar...    But overall I do like the feel of the tune!

Thanks everyone for the advice and ideas thus far. I went ahead a made the video for it. Just another play-thru video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tQyonEc-VA 
 
stevec, A synth probably would be cool but all I have to work with is a guitar, bass and ezdrummer. My retail job limits me to what I can and can not buy lol. Took me a few years of saving up and clever spending to get what I have now lol.

You sound a very talented guitarist I do wonder if you need the drums as they sound a little staid and lifeless to my furry ears.  Enjoyed the guitar though thanks for sharing.

Hey Wookiee, I realized after you said something about the drums I had forgot to turn breverb on for them after I had multitracked them out of ezdrummer. I am glad you said something. Also thanks to everyone so far for the comments and suggestions. It has been very helpful and much appreciated.
