Gents,
 
Great work, really like it.   There are a couple spots where the lead guitar noticeably drops in volume.  Was listening through headphones.  Otherwise, sounds great and awesome mix.
 
Regards


I'll take a second look at that lead guitar noticeably dropping in volume on the next remix.
 

 
Ed,
 
The two spots I noticed was the bit between :42-:49 when the guitar harmony ends in the right channel and the guitar in the left channel doesn't seem loud enough on its' own as the lead instrument.   That one is purely subjective/opinion of course.  You could pan that guitar more center for that little bit or boost is a Db or so if you choose to do anything with it.  
 
The next spot I heard was around 2:29.  It sounds like a very short volume envelope reducing the lead guitar volume.  The actual volume is OK but maybe you could stretch the volume change out longer so it isn't as noticeable, or start reducing the lead guitar part just ahead of that point so it isn't obvious.  
 
Super minor nits, they aren't even really noticeable unless listening through headphones.   Cool song though, have listened a few times now.   Love it...
 
Regards

Oooh... I like that.   Nice groove anchored by a great bass line and the guitar melodies/harmonies are very cool and well executed.  Everything just sounds as it should.     Oh, and the keyboard parts happening in the background really fill out space nicely.

James and Ed, YUP!! Just don't get any better than this for live instrumentation of the guitar and bass. Even the drums sounded real, but I'm sure you worked them in fro the virtual world, but did a great job with them. Souned great and the mix is perfect. Nice one.
 
Peace and Blessings, John
