I like it!
The guitars are excellent, but drums need rearranging :-)

Love the guitar sound!

The synths on the intro reminded me of the background pad music in the Star Trek:Armada PC game. :lol: Not that it's bad, just reminded me of it. But then you took it in a very cool direction.

Very cool!

thanks for the listen!

I'm a Line6 fan too. Been begging my wife to let me set aside money for an X3-Live one of these days.

You make me wish I had more time to practice my guitar. I've always loved EVH, Satch, Vai, Petrruci, Reb Beach type of shredders and I love prog.

Sadly my own skills never advanced very far beyond a bad C.C.Deville impression. :D

I appreciate the compliments, Im flattered. I have to admit.. I probably used up all my favorite riffs.. I thought I'd get it out of my system on this tune and go for a more melodic stylish stuff going forward..
I spent ages on sweep picking and arpeggios and got pretty decent with them.. but all in all I think players that are putting super tasty melodies together got more going on than me at this point in time.. I think theres more musical value in tasty phrasing than shredding.. Unless your John Petruccie where both qualities are busting at the seems
Thanks again!

This is great! Enjoyed it immensely.Lead could be a tad louder in spots though.
