My band suggested I try to create something that can be played with two guitars, bass, drums & vocal. In other words, what we have, not what we wished we had. No dulcimers, funky horns, fat strings, female choruses,  grand piano or zither.  None of that. Okay. Here's what I came up with.  The only synth is Addictive Drums 2. I played all the rest.

I like it.  The drums are a bit stiff but nothing that couldn’t be tweaked a bit.?

I mean, it's not as if any decent music was ever made with two guitars, a bass, drums and some vocals. ?

I like this, it has a live feel and I imagine it sounds really good live - my only very minor crits are that I would consider adding some slightly more complex harmonies on the vocals and I would definitely open up that lead guitar a touch and really let that thing rock!

I like it, sometimes less is more. the only thing I would say is this would have been a great opportunity to do an old school LCR mix.

I like this -- creative lyrics and an interesting arrangement.  While this demo needs a bunch of tweaking you have something good to work with here.   I'd like to hear this again when you tighten it up.  Good work... ~~Allan

I liked this... clever lyrics and has a lot of potential.
I agree with the comment on LCR mix.

Nice job.

Fine tune, as has been mentioned drums could be "dressed" up a bit.
My two cents worth; I'd put an acoustic "rhythm" guitar on it.
Keep it simple, open chords, something to "glue" the whole thing together.
I know that ups the count to three guitars, but that's what I'm hearing...
