Hey Rick,
Thanks for the comments and glad you like it
I'll definitely have to work on the whole guitar thing. It is a real guitar, I'm just not that proficient . I played the solo in via a direct input and then used a plug-in for distortion. I was lazy though, and pitch shifted the octave harmonies instead of playing them, so that might be what makes it sound fake?
I'll be using electric guitar in future remixes, so your comments are valuble! Next time, I'll work on the musicality and getting the distortion to mix with the synths better.
