I wrote the main riff intending to use it for a more complex rock instrumental. Actually it was going to be a theme song for an animation project that hopefully someday will come into existence. While tinkering with guitar effects, I found a Blues setting on my effects board and decided that I could capture the tune of the theme in a really cool way and decided to make it into a guitar duo. There are only two places where more than two guitars are layered, and the drums at the end just went into to give it closure.
