Thanks a lot for the feedback, and also the help on Discord fine tuning the tremolo.
I tried to address all your points.
I decided to try without the whistling, to also get away from the original further
Adjusted the tremolo and some additional programming on the guitars.
Changed the middle section to half time feel.
A few edits to the melody lines to make them more unique and distinct from the original
