Aw... It's so rare I hear a rain stick these days.
Sounds like a slight balance issue here... In the intro, the center of the image seems a might below the outside. (except for that snare. That's fine.)
I think the rest of this works pretty well. Sounds good too.

Is it just me or are most of the elements sounding quite distant in this approach?
I also thought it's a bit mid-rangey, isn't it?
Apart from that I also think that the ideas on this one are very good.

As I did not use a lot a buss compression in the mix I like to think my mix is a bit more dynamic. However, this is not the only time I have heard the opening guitar being too low in the mix. I set my playback level based on the opening guitar level, but I think I should have brought it up in the over-all balance. Thanks for your input.

Do you think my effects make the individual tracks sound distance? It maybe my desire to give each instrument their own space and not create a bed for the voice. I like the funk instrumentation to be heard in all of the parts. I do not feel it is mid-rangy when I compared it to other artist on my playback system.
I wonder if it might be a good idea for contributors to describe their playback system(s) used for their mixes. Primarily, my mix was don on Dell desktop speakers with a sub and auditioned on an older ROR G System monitors.
Thanks for your comments.

Hey Adam, after listening to all 3 versions of your mix, I'm liking version 3 the most. It sounds the most full of all of the mixes and doesn't seem as harsh as the first 2 versions in the high end. Nice work.
I did notice in all 3 versions there seems to be some weird clipping happening in the right channel when the second guitar kicks in in the intro. Also the kick needs some more bottom end and a low pass filter at around 10 kHz to take out some excess click so that it fits in better to the mix.
The guitar delay works better in the second solo than in the first solo, especially in the funky rhythm articulations. I would either not use the delay until the second solo or turn it off during the articulated bit before the solo.
Overall good mix
