Mario my friend,

You are generous beyond belief. This is not your typical guitar player's tune and, as I've mentioned, along with other balls-and-chains around my ankles, I've been agonizing over the instrument, looking for a completely different way of approaching the fretboard. Been playing around with the circle of fifths (clockwise, fourths counterclockwise), trying to find a "distance metric" between the scales, figuring that not-so-distant scales are the avenue to getting new, "outside" ideas. Been working the chops to death, so I hope some of these new things came across in the performance.

In any case, your kind remarks make my day.

Dean
