Hello Sir, nice effort.
I agree with the timing issues, I'm wondering if you are experiencing RTL. Do you record with effects on?
A nice song. I like the guitar @ 2:35 and @ 4:40, the bass is great, timing aside, and it is good to hear a real bass player playing a real bass.
Depending on how much you want to spend on this, you could really take it to another level. The Rush reference is interesting.
I think you should post your "You turned my world around tune."
