Hi Everyone,
In lieu of playing LotRO today, I decided to work on my other hobby a little bit. It’s rough but I’d like to share it with you all. Let me know what you think in the comments.
I play all of the parts in the song using a multitracking program called Audacity. It’s optimized for headphones (due to the high gain/distortion). Please let me know any constructive criticisms you may have to improve my future recordings. I’m no Slash or Travis Stever but, hey, I can try right?

I think tomorrow I’m going to redo the last part. It’s a tad too slow compared to the start of the solo. Enjoy!

overall that's pretty good. I feel like it's got a lot of potential. I really liked the chord progression but the rhythm seemed a little off/ could've been better. It also sounded a little busy/messy at some points and it was difficult to hear the different parts. props to you for putting this together though. +1

Thanks for the comments. I definitely agree on the messiness and difficulty to hear. I'm going to go back through tomorrow and clean it up as best I can. When I get a "real" multitracker it should do away with some of the added noise. Thanks again!

You need to pan some of the sounds to the left or right so it doesn't sound as cluttered cause it's pretty much a mono recording right now.
A really common, simple trick is to make 2 copies of a rhythm guitar. Put one to the left and the other to the right and offset them a couple milliseconds in the track. This gives it a really thick, stereo sound and will make so it's not drowning out the leads in the center so much.
My advice is to just play around with that type of stuff a little bit and you'd be surprised how professional you can make something sound in your home.
