Gone electric

Hi,
here's a tune which started life as an acoustic number and just kind of got out of hand after I built a tele clone. It was (or is still)

fun doing it. I'm still messing with it but I thought I could get some tips on how to improve the mix.

I like your guitar playing on that one. The melody is nice.

The main thing that I noticed about the mix is that the drums seem to be all in mono which is kind of lackluster. It would've been nicer if the drums had been recorded in stereo or at least with stereo overheads. I think having drums in stereo really brings them to life.

Thanks for the input MrHope.
I am still trying to figure these Jamstix drums out but I've added some outputs and it seems a bit wider now. See what you think.

Cool guitar work!

The busy drums detract from it for me though.

Great guitar work, i loved the tones and runs, the drums are too far back and do not seem to fit the song well.

i kinda like the drums, but they're probably right they should be firmer & clearer; nice guitar
