I had written this 2 yrs ago and decided to mix it. I believe it came out very crisp and the instruments sit well in it. Sounds absolutely killer to me at volume with headphones or nice car stereo cranked. I could do better on the second solo. I think the first solo at the break is near perfect for the song, and it was written in originally.
I threw in my "kitchen sink" of effects on the guitar that I really gravitate to. So, it may not be a "modern" sound (if I even know what that is). My goal for a while had been to use one profile for clean and dirty, rhythm and solos, then set it and leave it, and then only use guitar volume knob, and neck to mid to bridge pickups for tonal changes. I feel much closer to achieving that.
My trigger finger came back so it's caused me to kind of take it easy on practice for a while. Totally sucks!
Thanks for listening!
