Description
Just a little tune I threw together. There is a couple mistakes in the solo, but I played it from the beginning to the end of the tune, so I could not escape em. Hope you enjoy it anyway.

Man this is kind of introspective but in a "against the wall" kind of way. Great solo work! So glad to be able to hear your work. Nice acoustic work as well!

Thanks Andy
I kinda re-wrote an old tune so I could lay a solo over it. I liked the one constant string stab, so I just had to do it. Thanks again for the listen and comment Andy. I can't wait to jam with ya in a couple months. It will be fun!!!!

LOL
Really, I was trying to play a bit slower than usual, but I always just end up going wild. I probably would not be a good candidate to test drive a Ferrari. I would just end up wrapping it around a tree or something. lol Thanks again for the listen. I appreciate it.

The strings
Atmospheric starts sets an interesting mood. Great tone to the guitar - love the sustain - sounds a bit Gary Moore to me. Excellent playing - speed and clarity are not always easy to attain but you get them. Good variety in the arrangement. Impressive!

Thanks Philip
I had a song similar to this using the same string stabs and i just loved it so much I wanted to make a song that I can solo over them, so kinda in a way, it's a revamp, but I am glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for the listen and comment.

Thanks Graham!
I am a huge fan of Satriani, have been since the first time I heard him in the 80's, so I am not surprised I am sounding like him more and more the older I get. I am blown away that your getting the goose bumps...that is something that I always wish I could achieve. Just sticking every emotion I can muster into my playing these days. I am glad you enjoyed it so much. I am flattered. Thank you.

LOL
I wouldn't go as far as calling myself a "master", more like a master of "What the hell am I doing?" lol I guess if I knew I was as good as your saying I am, I would get off my ass and pursue this with a little more intensity. Maybe someday soon. Thanks so much Jack for your kind words. You made my day! Will be seeing you soon my friend!

Whoo,.........the tone is
so spot on and I am desperately trying to get that sort of sound....it is like Oldfield but not so "overdone" as he tends to do....I love the way that the lead directly contrasts with the backing, smouldering silky steel over a punchy pizzicato backing..............nice......now tell me how you get that tone or I will turn up at the Texas jam ,then you'll all be sooooooooooooorry............80)

Thanks Chris.
Ok, I will tell you what I am using and then try to explain how I set it up. First thing is I am using is a Ibanez JS 1200 guitar, so I think that is really where the foundation of the tone I am getting is starting, then i use a user preset on my BOSS GT-8 for my sound. Over the years, I found that if I set up all my other guitar tones the complete opposite of my lead tone, it helps it stand out in the mix more. When it comes to my lead tone, I like to cut out most of the highs and beef up the mid ranges a bit, but not too much. So like I said before, I eliminate most of the mids from my other guitars. If you would like...I can send you the settings to my preset, and maybe that can help you get the sound your looking for? Here is my hotmail if you would like to contact me. I am pretty busy today, so if you can give me a few days, I will take a look and writ it down for you.....my e-mail is.......pickquickrecords@hotmail.com.

Hey Chris, this is a might fine instrumental. Your playing is just stellar. Really. Quick, yes, but tasty all the way, not just quick for quick's sake. Excellent tone, too. Much enjoyed. Thanks, Peter.

I am still to this day trying to play with more feeling and less technique, but I still fall into my old shredding ways no matter how hard I try. lol Thanks again for the compliment and listen. I am glad you enjoyed it.

Flying high
The lead soars. I dig the contrast to the light and almost dreamy repeating accompaniment. Soars. With a few tweaks, this could be a great instrumental track, worthy of past CDs. The joy sparks from your fingers. Thanks for sharing this.
