This is a brand new 'band demo' I recorded to take to practice this week for a new song I've just written. Basically it's midi drums and two guitars, all recorded through a $15 computer microphone so it's VERY ordinary quality. All I really want to know is what you think of the song. Please try to ignore the lack of bass and uninteresting drum beat. Also there's some crazy stereo thingos going on because I did each guitar in it's own speaker. As I said it's just something to take to practice to show the guys.
Anyway, right click, download: http://home.iprimus.com.au/grills24/sosweet64.mp3 (~2.3 meg)

It sounds fine... it sounded a little boring to my ears, but only one of my speakers is working now, so maybe I was listening to the rhythm guitar? Anyways, once you add vocals, bass and interesting drums, it should liven it up. But not too shabs overall.

Singing is absolutely none of my business ;)

At about 1.05 the two guitars sound slightly out of time with each other. Not to bad for a first song

Oh it's not my first song - and certainly not my best either - it's just a 1-take crapola job

I agree. After awhile, it's like - what next? Adding other elements will definitely make it more interesting.

I really liked it. I didn't think the drums were all that bad. I thought it was a very nice instrumental track.
The only things i didn't like were the sudden guitar tone change in the very beginning of the song and a the one part where the guitars werent really on time somewhere a littel after the minute mark I'd say.
If you were going to keep it an instrumental I would have liked it to be a little more progressive than it was. Maybe add some lead lines the main rythm riff.
I didn't care for the guitar tone too much. It souned a bit too fuzzy and gainy with not enough reverb for me. This is just personal preference though.
Nice work.

Oh, it's not instrumental at all - there's bass and vocals and all sorts of stuff that just hasn't been recorded. It even swaps between 3/4 and 4/4 in a couple of bits. The words are all corny which is crap and I'm trying to fix them up.
