Wayne,

I like your playing a lot. But I'd like to make one point that may or may not apply here... it's just a thought that occurred to me as I listened.

Have you ever gone into a jewelry store and browsed through a display of hundreds of beautiful diamond rings? For some reason a single ring always looks more dazzling than a whole room full of them... perhaps because one alone seems unique, but a hundred of anything makes all of them seem common.

Likewise an individual leaf is a wonder to behold, but one rarely notices it when looking at the forest.

I think the same thing applies to flashy musical passages. Any of the licks you played would sound more amazing if you confined it to a "teaser spot". If you leave people wanting more, it enhances the presentation.

The problem with jam songs is that you run the risk of going past the listener's attention threshold. A short passage leaves the listener thinking "WOW! That was awesome!" whereas a song that goes on for too long risks the possibility that the listener will click away from it.

What works in a live venue doesn't necessarily work in a recording...

Just a thought, not a criticism. Many of the people here in the user showcase have found that the software has made it so easy to make great recordings that we are free to focus on small details that enhance the final product.

I realize that your recording was a showcase for your guitar and amp's tone, and it really is awesome! But it is equally interesting to hear how various contributors spice up their songs with techniques to keep a song fresh for the song's duration.
