I sort of thought that at the time but I just got lost in the feedback . I've done another version with something more like I'd normally play and I'm just sitting with it for a day to see if I like it better. I've also, on someone else's suggestion, put a little lead guitar motif in between the phrases in the chorus, so I'm a bit unsure on that at this stage, so I'll leave it all for 24 hours and stick it up tomorrow if I keep them.
You don't need to go mental with it... just something that sounds like your playing.
Between the phrases in the chorus you could just go for just a couple of notes, just something that adds a bit of tension and resolves... you don't need to do a Van Halen.
That's what I've done, basically. I'm just getting used to it. The start bit is just a bit more me. And the in between bit is just a short 4 note descending figure - same one each time. Quite simple. I'll stick it up in the morning if I don't hate it.
The vocal is better in mix 3/4. But it still bites a little. You might get away with a little more MB compression in that high-mid range. If you have to for sake of vocal clarity, I wonder if you could compensate with a small boost in the 10K range (or so). But only if you had to - that kind of thing can get nasty.
