Positive Comments: The guitar playing is superb. The adding of layer upon layer is super captivating…as soon as you think you have the motif figured out, the Marshall stacks come in and throw the song on it’s side. I can see a lot of possible marketability for this in TV/Film. The intro is super bizarre and cool, and the ending is epic!
Constructive Comments: There are two things really holding this performance back that I think, if improved, could really increase the potential usage for this song. The first on is that the drum track sounds a bit too much like a drum machine (I do not know if it is). The reason this is problematic is because as the lead guitar swells and pushes and pulls against the pocket, the drums stay static and the groove gets lost in the din of guitar. The other issue is that the mix is a little off – the main guitar that comes in is just too hot against the rest of the instruments – it could be significantly lower in the mix without losing presence.Good work!
