Listening on headphones...

Chord progression is kinda weird in the beginning, but sounds cool when the other instruments come in.

The song sounds pretty cool, nice lead work. I'd bring up the lead guitar just a little (although maybe it sounds fine on speakers). Other than that I don't really have anything else to say, I like it.

I think it could have been longer though. Right now it sounds like it ended as soon as it was starting to get good. Sounded like a pretty long guitar solo and then, the end!

I think it could have used an interlude after the first lead guitar, and maybe a change-up in chord progression. Then another solo afterwards before ending, so it sounds more like an actual song than just a (nice) guitar solo. ;)
 
While I generally don't like instrumental shred songs. I found your playing to be pretty tasteful and melodic. There were some nice chord change ups paired up with tasty notes. Was the lead guitar recorded direct? My only complaint would be that it sounds a little boxy and doesn't seem to breathe as much as the other guitars. Maybe give it just a little more space.
 
Cool! Thanks for the comments!

Both guitars are recorded with the new Jimi Hendrix Amplitube..
 
Very cool. The structure of the song and the progression is a little odd but at the same time it's very attractive. So, it's unique! I like that it has a positive feel. The mix is good, I like the guitar sound. Very Schenkerish! I agree with whomever said it was short, I think you could break it down and come around one more time.
