I re-did the solo on this, however it is really shreddy and being at 200 bpm, not the best idea I had. Still i think it sounds better than the old one.
ya I'll say. BIG improvement, it gives this song more life, and it sounds less and less generic which I assume might have been your worry at the beginning
a couple things
1) the solo should def be less shreddy. It is a very melodic song and the solo should reflect that. just keep playing with it.
2) the key change I like but this would prob sound better in a higher key. since the chorus is more on the happier side I'd say raise the key up 4 half steps instead of 2.
