Pretty short to tell much. The guitar has a pretty cool tone to it. Heavy !! Need to hear a bit more. :cool:
 
Hey man. A few things jumped out at me when I was listening to this. Firstly, the guitar sounds pretty thin. I know you're recording direct, so try using an EQ plugin and boost around 160-240 Hz for more body, but don't go crazy. The second thing I noticed was the hi-hat sample you chose. The only way I can describe it is "airy". Try mixing it up a bit and use different, yet similar hi-hat samples so there is some variety in the hits. If used correctly, DKFH sounds amazing. This applies with the other drums and cymbals too (snare, kick, toms, and ride). Like the above poster said, it's too short for anyone to really critique your mix. Lastly, you should also upload to a site like nowhereradio.com or lightningmp3.com.

Keep them coming.
