Hello everyone.

Six months ago, my trusty iMac died and I've been unable to record anything until I got a new one around Xmas.Needless to say I got a bit rusty.
I've had to get used to Garage Band in the meantime, a neat recording and composing software that comes with the iLife suite of sw for Mac OSX.
Garage Band comes with a truckload of MIDI and real instrument loops + sound effects that really help in making cool backing tracks.

I posted a couple of these backing tracks in the BT forums a while ago, and GuitarWizard had stab at them... :thumb: That was neat to have others play to my BT.

I finally decided it was time to submit some of my work to the scrutiny of my fellow guitarted friends at Guitars 101, so here it is. It's not so much a song as it's a clip to showcase a solo idea I developed around the BT.

I hope you like it.

Well, I had to catch up after six month off the recording. But I promise you'll hear more noise from me from now on.

Thanks for listening.

Thank you very much. I appreciate the feedback.
I really had to compose this solo so it would sound like a song onto itself. I hope I managed to get the thing accross.

I took the wahwah approach: 972 takes for some of the solo sections. One of these had to be in the ballpark! :lol:

The more I listen to it and the more I want to yank the post out. I drives me crazy! :lol:

Thanks for the encouragments. I'll stick to it...

Hey Sweeps!
I have not bothered with GB's built-in amp emulation yet. I'm so happy with my Pod that I don't see the need for that.

Thanks, wahwah! I did go for a Zakk Wylde feel. I can't touch him but he influences me a great deal.
