That's a cool China-like cymbal he's using as well as some other techniques and is equally as interesting as the traditional Fender sounds you got going. More of narrative arc on the solo pushing toward the last vocal, which would be easier to manage if the solo was shorter. After the solo, how about a slightly different texture from the band? Backing vocals and less fill gtr? Dial the bassiness of the bass back. I think there's a good bass sound there but can't be sure. Vocal's great and the mic suits it well. i'da ended it at the chord at 4:42 but that's just me. That last last part doesn't help and feels weird stylistically.

Reaaly great song.
Thank you garageband for your input. But did you listen to the first mix or the latest one I put up only there is no 4.42 in the second mix, because i shortened the intro. Good point about the vocal harmonies and i will be exploring that sometime very soon.
Regards
Neil
