the intro is great. Brings interest to the listener instantly!

and the feedback! wow!! great job for still being able to play in such a controlled manner at such high gain. What noise suppression do you use? Or it is just a set of really good pickup ? (sorry for asking, I'm a gear-idiot).

The jazz gtr tone in the middle came in just-in-time when the pattern got a little predictable. Nice touch !

Thanks so much...the intro was tricky in that I had to get all the delays and limiters set right and that took some effort. There was no noise reduction done at all and I used an old strat. The pickups are excellent imho....they were pulled from a 1968 Fender strat. I love those things! The jazz guitar was my 1990's Gibson ES-775 through a Fender Deluxe silver face.

very nice played, the guitar sound is amazing and the playing is great (obviously).
I think there is too much reverb on the drums and I am not too crazy of the bass line.
I think the general tone of the song is not spread out it seems to be all medium and treeble.
But frankly it's just to be picky :D

You are the only other guy I know of around here that uses a Triaxis with 2:90 combo. Great piece of gear - my problem with it is getting the right environment to keep electrical noise down. Beautiful composition, nice emotive theme with great subtle technique. Good job again!

I studied Jazz for a year (2004-05). I love this. I have since gone back to my metal roots and am leaning towards a very progressive edge like Dream Theatre or something like Winger's Pull and IV CD's. Very very cool tune. I could listen to it all day.
