Vic, Floyd, Scott, Derochette, Noel, Ezekiel, Guitarhacker, bluage, Hans, Peter, jpt3 and J&B:

Thank you all for the listen; the gracious feedback and support. It’s so very much appreciated.

Vic: Good suggestions. I actually focused on the space at 1:52, and wondered whether I should delete a bar. I didn’t, because I didn’t want to move to quickly into the bridge. Adding a riff is an good idea, although I didn’t want to “show” the lead guitar before the solo, and I’d have to think about what else I could put there. On the whole, I’m inclined to leave it as is, but you’ve got me thinking. Might do something yet. Thanks.

Noel and bluage (and really all of you): Gosh darn, you are far too kind. But you have my endless thanks for the kind words!

Peter F (and others): I’m sure I can improve that guitar solo yet, but I’m content enough with it as it stands—and I’m not sure what more I can do with it than I’ve done. But a little space from it might give me some new perspective—so I’ll definitely revisit this and that solo at some point to see if a better alternative presents itself. Thanks much for the feedback—greatly appreciated.

My best to you all,

Deej
