Yeah, I *completely* agree with you about the sound.
I didn't bother adjusting the volumes at all, in this one actually.
For no other appearent reason than wanting to shoot myself in the foot,
I decided to just skip the mastering process... =\
Glad you didn't turn it off at the 4-minute mark. Hehe.
It's "kind of" unusal even for a solo, in the way that
it's not so much melodic, and instead just "almost-in-key"-tapping,
with a long bend at the end.
As with 90% of my solos, it was improvised rather than
written down note-by-note in advance, and
it was an interesting approach to it - or at least I thought so,
at the time I played it.
The chord progression/melody at large was
the result of two insirational sources.
The first being the band "Manic Street Preachers (which I don't
even particularly like myself), and the second one was - and this
is going to sound ridiculous - Kathrina and the Waves with "Love Shine a Light".
Of course, their infuence was only inspirational and you
can't really tell since the song sounds very little like any of them.
Anyways, thanks alot for the review.
I deeply appreciate it.
