Sketch for a song from a guitar oriented ambient project I'm working on

The idea for this tune is a bit old, but reviving it as I'm in the midst of starting a project with a fantastic female singer, drummer, and the bassist from my previous band. We are putting together sounds like this - ambient/droney feel with lots of space but some nice changes.
Working to get the vocals in soon.

Some rough spots - but please let me know what you think of the vibe.

• play
• pause
• min volume
• max volume

found the break at 2 min or so vaguely annoying. also felt that the second guitar towards the end detracted from it's ambient nature by filling up the sound.

I disagree with lester, the break at 2 min was tasteful, although the execution could be more precise. I do agree that the second third fifth(?) guitar at the end took away more than it added.

And great use of delay.

thanks for the input - appreciated

the break was kind of an "accident" that I got kind of liked/got used to -
and yeah, it is the fifth guitar at the end,
I was trying to add a different part to mix it up,
but as your comments indicate,
maybe something not so overbearing would be more appropriate

thanks again!

Just saying I really liked the guitar at the end. It really made the track for me.
