Songman,

Very well written song! I am truly impressed with the song, itself. And I think your vocals fit well.

As to the guitar...
The problem with those Brent Mason solo parts is when you use a tempo that is very far away from the original intended temp for the Realtrack. Brent uses a lot of vibrato/bending - sounds really awesome when played at the right tempo. While Elastique does a great job of maintaining the tone and pitch when you alter a tempo, vibrato is one thing that doesn't translate well. Hence the problem. There is a Brent Mason solo intended for the 120 tempo that you used, and would probably have sounded much more natural, if used sparingly. The solo used in your song was intended for tempo 65, but played at about tempo 120.

Again, I really like the song! Sorry about the broken heart, but it does seem to have yielded some good music in the process.

Keep up the good work!

Steve
