@ Boomin36Beatz - Thanks for taking the time to listen and respond. I saw your idea of ping ponging some MIDI parts, which I liked. I did ping pong the lead guitar at the beginning and end of this song.
@ Chandler - I remixed this song, and maybe it'll be closer to your liking. I notices those issue, too. Good ears and good catch.
@ Rikki - Thanks for your kind compliments. I don't know if the remix is better or not, but I appreciate your comments and suggestion. The song is as open as can be, so changes can easily be made.
Thank you all for your time and ideas. This song is so new that I'm still getting a handle on it, but you all are helping me see the big picture more clearly.
