I hate commenting on my own stuff... but I have to say, I put down the lyrics wrong. I just checked the album and I got most of em right but I should really fix this... plus I'm pretty sure that the oscilation at the end is feedback from an amp not whammy dips but I put that in there anyway... I'm looking at that solo and something about it bugs me but oh well it still sounds okay. That's not important though. What is important... is... Sargentos...
In the intro, for the second guitar part, he's playing with a slide and some effects, instead of the rotor pick. I looked on a youtube video of them doing a live video and that's what he's playing it with. I don't have my electric around but aside from that it looks good.
Thanks; I wasn't quite sure about the effect and it did have a smooth transition in the slides. I'll be sure to fix that.
