Here's the deal:

Intro to Beside Her

I want this intro to start out with just the guitar, which is how it is in this recording.. and then the rest of the instruments come in..

As soon as the bass, drums, rhythm guitar, and possibly piano come in.. I want it to be really powerful.. and then right before the vocals start it needs to drop back down to just drums, a light rhythm guitar, and bass.. or something like that.

But, hear this lead guitar I've got here? It sounds sort of weak and repetitive to me. Do you guitarists--or anyone that could help or give any tips--have any advice about that? What could I do to change that up, and make it catchy and a little less repetitive?

Or, do you like it how it is?

Thanks

Sounds like a nice start. If it were mine and I was shooting for the same target I would add to the lead by mirroring it on an acoustic guitar. Record the same intro on an acoustic and blend them together. But that's just me...... Good luck with the rest of your song.
 
I like it, what I would do, is have that riff, play it twice, than add another 2 bars with something diffrent but still on the same scale. and then repeat it, it should make it sound less loopy, I have the same problem when I write lead riffs.

hope this helps

Alright, I'll think about that as well!

Thank you guys so much. I REALLLLY appreciate ANY little piece of advice or any little suggestion that you guys offer. I'm all about learning and getting better. As they say, "To learn, surround yourself with people who are better than you." Thanks for taking time out to help!

Leave it as it is and start the vocals after 16 beats. Nice riff, I like it.
