It’s hard to do as most people have been taught to keep stuff inside most of their life. That’s why when you did that you felt some sort of jolt or rush in your body. It was thinking I just messed up and let something go.

Yeah, I just checked the tabs for the riff I was talking about in that thread, and my version wasn't identical to that, but it was still close enough to sound similar (I believe this is what they call "making a riff your own"). I've already done this once before with a solo, that also only sounds similar enough to the song it's from, without being an exact copy.

I'm not 100% sure if this is the best way to proceed with my experiment, but I'm thinking of recording the rhythm-parts I have and then try to make some Lead Guitar lines to go with it.

I should probably also consider writing down the tabs for this, just so I can learn to play it again, should I forget how to play it... Or so I can teach other people how to play it, when I become a better guitarist.
