Hey guys, thanks for the feedback. I haven't had as much time as I'd hoped to really work on this the past week or so, but found some time today to redo some stuff. Still, I have been doing some research on home recording/mixing basics and I think I'm starting to get a grasp on it all.
I've added some reverb to the the drums as well as recorded some background guitar tracks. I changed up the rhythm guitar just a bit and have been messing with the rhythm guitar sound, trying to get it a bit fatter and less scratchy. I'm still not satisfied with it but I think it has a lot to do with the guitar processor I'm running through (using the built in processor from a Boss drum machine).
I also added a short guitar solo for the outro, but the more i think about it, the more I think it might sound better being somewhere in the middle of the song.
Anyway, I've got a lot more to do before even considering calling it finished, but wanted to post an update to see if you guys think it's heading in the right direction or not.
