From another guitar forums, I found a new backing track to play with. I decided to give it a try and here is what I came up with:

Be patient through the first half...I was feeling things out at this point and it ain't pretty at a few points. In the second half, things come together. This was my first take on this...warts and all :-).
I decided to keep this take because there were some things I really like toward the end. Fact is, even if I did 10 takes, I'm sure I wouldn't be 100% happy with any of them.
If anybody is interested in the backing track itself, I can make it available.
Enjoy!
