Description

An instrumental setting of a tune that's been rattling around my brain for 8 years. My first MacJams submission (since deleted) had this melody. Recorded this to use as a soundtrack for a video project for my Teacher's Union. shinyheadmusic.com

Tones by Variax
The guitar tones - including the acoustic one - we're all played on my Variax 600, a strat-body style modeling guitar. My favorite model, the Gretch, is the rhythm guitar, and I'm playing a Les Paul model for the electric solo. It's so cool to be able to flip a switch and get so many different useful sounds. It's amazing for my cover bands as well as silent recording after my kids have gone to bed. Check one out, the older models like mine go doe $250-500 on Craigslist.

	KF umm yes this is so clear, great mix. Your playing is funky and excellent. The different array of guitars is also rather effective.
