I think that sounds killer...I wouldn't change a thing.

One thing we as guitarists forget is how the tone of our particular guitar parts--rhythm, lead, harmony, whatever--fits in the song. We have the ideas of the "perfect" tone for a guitar part, but sometimes that "perfect" tone doesn't fit within the song after mixdown.

What you just recorded would be a great rhythm line to a song--you'd be able to put a fatter (or cleaner or wah-infected or...) lead line over it with ease...or a funky slide part...or a rippin' harmonica lead...

That's a great "in the pocket" rhythm line. Flesh it out and overdub some lead instruments over it, and you may be on to something.

Sounds good to me SK.
Hey, I thought you put him on your $#!t list.

Perfect examples of how something can sound weird (or downright bad) by itself, but sound great in the mix:

Just leave the track as-is and finish the song.

You're on to something good. As others have said, leave this be and add on to it. Nice work.

I loved it. I liked the almost crumbling rhythm with the elements of blues breaking through. I loved the drum beat, would almost work well with surf. (And I say almost because I can't really envision it, I'd have to hear it.) The one thing I'd tone down is the bass. I could pick the guitar and bass parts apart too easily. That's just my personal taste, but I really love it when they blend really well. If you did a whole album like this, I'd buy one.
