Very nice! :)

Thanks man. I've read through the posts, but haven't listened to anyone else yet (the night's not over, so you never know, lol).

It was a real bear playing the classical, as I was just getting used to it, and man, you have no idea how I had to really hammer the strings to get the sound out. I really didn't know where I was going to go with your BT, but the classical guitar just kinda made me want to get kind of a "Spanish" feel to the solo- I don't know if it came out or not. The drum part kind of hung me up at first; I was tempted to pull out my Tele and wail, but I have enough trouble recording, being a noob at it. So I just played through it- it was only drums, so there couldn't be any "wrong" notes, right? I know I wasn't on the beat in many places, and I didn't go to the lower registers much because my fretting hand was soooo fatigued by then. I kinda stayed "in the box" because there aren't fret markers on the fretboard, and I'm not used to looking at the dot markers on the edge of the neck. That, and getting used to the wider neck. Anyway, I like discussing the creative process. I wanted to come up with something dramatic. When I solo, I usually visualize pictures or an emotion. I like minor keys because they really lend themselves to emotional stuff, imo. Anyway, I'll try to give everyone else's tracks by tomorrow; if I feel I have anything worthwhile to say, I will. I'm still obsessing over the missed notes I wanted to play...but didn't. Another great BT. Glad I stopped in when I did.
