Cool blues Mr. Scar! I like the blues feeling and the crescendo-like approach. Pretty good recording as well.

Good work  :)

Thanks man, any tips for improvement? Maybe: Should it have vocals? Does it need a hook? Less mayhem more licks? Intro and ending definition?

I don't think it needs vocals, the lead guitar is a good replace. Maybe it would benefit from a hook in the middle, a simple melody with a different not-blues like chord progression before you break to mayhem. But if you did that it wouldn't be the matchbox blues anymore.

I like the mayhem, in fact I like the contrast from the second part to the first.

A solid ending and intro is always good, the intro helps people wanting to listen to your song, the ending helps people wanting to listen to it again.

But overall is a nice blues and not very common.
