Thanks Dennis!
Couple of dead notes- but I'm happy with where it's at so far.

Solid!
That is sounding very cool Al, very nice job. Looks like a good workout for the fingers up and down the neck... difficult?

Willem- I agree on the slide/bend/pulloff. Very tough, and I can't do it on my Martin. GS Mini is easier for some reason.

Chris- You might remember I was noodling with this at your sister's house. Yes, a big workout up the neck- but fun (after you're done with the frustration of doing it 1,000 times!)

Nice job Al! I really enjoyed that. It looks pretty tough to hit cleanly. Well done.

Hey Al,

Sounds good.Looks like it coming along just fine.Watch your count on the note placement, and when doing bends, got to know what the pitch your going to.Half bend, whole bend.All ways helps me to be able to sing the notes as I play them.

keep kicking'em

Good job Al. This song is a mind bender as well. LOTS of stuff running through your brain as you try and get your hands on auto pilot. Keep at it and I can't wait to see the progress. With that Boss device you use so well have you tried laying down a rythem track and then doing the lead over that? I'd be interested in seeing how that sounds as well.

Sounds really good, Al. Nice to see you tackle something like this. Guitar was sounding good too - are you recording by the mic or is your guitar plugged in? I can't remember if it has electronics. Has this been added to your "off pat" list yet? Seems to me it should.

Have you thought of maybe whistling next time? :)

Nicely done.
