Hah I like how you did the "vocals" on Paranoid... somehow the lead tone is good altogether, I'd bass up the rythm a bit though... just imo of course

Okay. Those are both really, really cool. I love how you're turned them both into instrumentals and you're doing the vocals with the guitar. Is that a wah you're using?

As for "bassing up" the rhythm I don't know if I agree. If anything I thought the opening riffs to Rainbow were getting a little mushy and were losing some definition and character. I guess the only suggestion I might have is that while you do a great job simulating the vocals and the tone is good, it's no Dio. After a bit the "vocals" get a little monotonous and repetitive. I'd be tempted to use the vocals as a base and mix it up a bit. Don't stray too far from the original but toss in some fills, effects, slides, bends, or divebombs to compensate for the fact Dio's not there. And I might ease up on the wah a tad as overall it begins to simulate a whiny voice instead of Dio's authoritative voice.

But overall very enjoyable, especially Rainbow in the Dark. In fact I may just download those and add them to my iTunes library. Nicely done!

Yeah, your covers are always great stuff. But you could improve your use of vibratos, slides, and bends when doing the vocal lines. And don't use the wah so dramatically all the time.
