Make that better and you've really got something.DeanThanks Dean!Yes, one of the issues I was having in a long, essentially all soloing piece was getting lost in a bunch of different motifs... that, and trying to just record through the entire thing in one shot... I'm planning on a new session already to plot it out and use my head before just going for it. But you have to start somewhere!

hi zoomster,just listened and wrote down "just a bit fuller/sonic sound in the opening and solo guitars throughout" but that would be my preference, as it does blend nicely as is. then i read similar thoughts above, but better said, as usual...anyway, i like it allot, and is the title (my spanish 1-2 class didn't take me far in high school...) new/old, young/old? just curious.nice job, oh, and on your site there's a very promising other tune i also listened to in one of it's drafts--still holds up...all the best,warren

I'll be in touch with you about that lurking draft.... hopefully very soon!
