Nice guitar work!
 
Mix-wise the drums seem overly centered IMO and could use more width, as could some of the supporting guitar parts.  I'm only listening on PC headphones but the bass seems a bit light too.

the guitar playing is hot for sure .. 
 
rough mix / demo ? some of the other parts like the drums , and bass need more meat to the sound ..
the guitar playing is pretty powerful and I feel the backing instruments need to be on the same type of level tone wise 
there is a lot of potential here

Kenny... yes rough mix... and so true.  Lots of gtr stuff going on, just have to work on the overall tone, level wise, to bring up to par with the gits, more bottom too.  Very good points.  Thx much for listening and helpful comments!

Added more bottom, did some widening, added some compression.  Take a listen, tell me what you think.  Thx.

Pluto, great guitar work & musicianship!! The mix is too contrasting (when chord changes/verse/chorus changes) and very obvious. I do hear the changes you've made (more bottom end, widening, and compression etc...), but it's almost like listening to two seperate mixes and doesn't have a flow (mix-wise). The song has really great potential and I think more subtle changes might help the whole mix.
Very good stuff though!!

Scorching is right!  Your guitar playing is red-hot.  Overall, the mix sounds like a live recording done with two room mics.  The drums are distant sounding and don't quite mesh with the rest of the band.  The bass could also use a little treatment.  With a little care, this could have an in-your-face intimacy that would knock the socks off your listeners.  Playing this good calls for attention.

Funny it does sound like that probably cause I was messing with the width plugin to give both a center and width effect in certain parts of the song.  Actually all the instruments were recorded/plugged in direct into my CW home studio.  Each instrument was physically played one at a time, beginning with the rhythm guitars first (using a metronome to stay in beat), then drums, then bass, then lead guitars.
 
Thanks again for taking the time to comment.
