The guitar sounds awesome man, but sometimes it seem as though you hit it too hard and the strings start rattling. But that's probably not the guitar, but due to your way of recording...

two negative aspects
bad recording quality (I know you probably can't do anything about it

)
no vocals: Listening to an instrumental is half as interesting as to a tune with vocals.

Turn down the guitar for one thing. Its too loud. Plus work on playing the verse more smoothly, its a little choppy. Same with the chorus.

yea the muting sounds perfect...how do you do it haha

it gets pretty choppy at the end of the first chorus, it sounds like you forgot where to go from there

other than that it sounds good

The way i put the mutews in is, I listen to dave play the song hear what he does. Pat pretty much taught me how to put rythm in my guitar playing, so i just play the song let my wrist move non stop and add the mutes every once in a while, put rythm in it and it will sound great.
