Empty Spaces/What Shall We Do Now (Pink Floyd) - Guitars101

I've been toying with the idea of doing a cover of Pink Floyd's "Young Lust," from The Wall. There are some excellent, very similar MIDI versions around, including one I've played along with for years, but I wanted to do some other things with it, so I started rearranging it from scratch with the "Empty Spaces" intro. While I was at it, I added the "What Shall We Do Now," part too.

I've always loved this track, which does not appear on the US version of The Wall album. It was either written specifically for the movie, or only appears on UK versions, I can't remember. Anyway, I got kinda sidetracked from recording "Young Lust" by rearranging this piece.

I tried to sorta emulate that "Roger Waters Live in Berlin" kind of arrangement, but add my own touches to it. Recording the factory-kinda sounds at the fade-in was pretty interesting.

Anyway, I'm pretty happy with it. As always, though, your comments, criticisms, suggestions, etc., are more than welcome. I'm just an amateur, after all.

Sounds awesome! Great arrangement and very well executed.
This has to have been quite a bit of work ey?
It'd be great if you did young lust and added that one to this as well!
