I like the theme/melody. Reminds me of late 80's /early 90's instrumental rock ala Vinnie Moore or Joey Tafolla type melodies. I think for the vibe and melody, the tone is a bit too harsh. Almost sounds fuzzy at some points. Needs to sound smoother. Other than that really good!

Thank you very much, I really appreciate!Can you help me with the lead guitar tone?Thank you again!

You can scoop the lead guitar because sounds a bit harsh. Search between 800hz and 2khz and make a cut.

I tried a same kind of sound a few time ago just to test a sound for solos.

As you can hear, the solo in the clean section is scooped in order to become more smoother.

Awesome mix Nuno!I'll see what can I do.I'm terrible at EQ'ing ((

Thanks dude. But your mix doesnt sounds bad but needs some work. I like the drums, sounds natural. Add a bass and work the lead tone a little more and you will have a good mix.

I think turn down the gain and presence and you're set!

Thank you guys for your help!I've changed the impulse and EQ a little and also I turned down the gain and presence.Anyone interested to record or to program bass guitar for the tune?(for those who will try to record or program from 00:04 to 00:24 I want full notes and from 00:43 to the beginning of the fast solo I want bass solo on the high strings,something to blend with the guitar soln the second section of the song, from 00:21 to 00:43 and on the fast solo section of the song you can do whatever you want but to be in feel and style of the song)I hope you'll understand.Tempo is 100!Thanks!
