"Choices" - overall eq question

Good song!
I wouldn't increase the drums.  A round EQ boost on the lower end would be about the only thing I'd change.  If you're getting rid of the harmony vocals, i'd recommend a quick delay or doubling of the main vocals (Lennon-esque) to keep them from getting too thin.
Other than that, the guitars, vocals, and drums are sitting well.  The bass is pretty good, but i think the EQ could fill it and the kick drum out a little.

HEY SLUGBABY!
thanks for checking it out, i agree with you, about the eq filling out the low end,
but i'm now thinking about re-tracking the bass guitar with a tone that would be closer to geddy lee's tone,
and that would change my entire eq approach!
if i leave the tracks like they are, i'll be focusing on that kick and bass

gonzo, I'm just going to quit listening to you - you make me want to hang it up. ;-D  This is another great one - what can I say - you've got to be one of my favorite guitar players - anywhere.

hey mark!
please, never quit!
even in jest......
 
i appreciate your support.

This sounds great to me. I wouldn't change anything.

You have a cool voice, Gonzo. Bring it forward for sure.
I would think about adding some room to the drums as they are too dry for my tastes
The distorted guitar at 2:39 or so during the acoustic interlude is rubbing my ears wrong. 
And a touch of reverb on the whole thing to add just a wee bit of cohesion.

Yeah, this is awesome as is.  Reminds me a bit of Ronnie Montrose in the electric portion, and Steve Howe with acoustic.  Great high energy drums.   Love the fork in the road photo too.  
 
If i was going to change anything, I would put the vocals in the bridge (2:00 or 2:20 mark or so) through more echo -- but i probably overuse that effect so just ignore me.  
 
Great rocker.  Nice stuff.
 
 

thanks cwestmont, for listening and commenting.....
 
ronnie montrose, i did dig that dude, RIP....
 
vocals in bridge with fx......
that's a good idea, i'll play with that one a bit

hi james, 
thanks for listening.....
i think the drums were actually recorded in a booth...
so they ARE dry,
i really wanted dry, as i think it's a more honest capture, unless you have a great big room to actually record in,
i hate adding it fake.
 
that said,
i think you are right, that a bit of room would help them blend....
 
that distorted guitar, yes, i'm gonna fade that out a bit ahead of the acoustics..the idea is that the heavy would fade into the acoustic.....
