No backing track, rhythm got mildly off in some places but I generally kept it together. The intro chords are a little intense to play, really require a big stretch of the left hand, so theres a little bit of messiness.

i don't really like the tone of the chords with the dist...but that's subjective

I like it man, sounds really good. I wish I could just improv progressions and stuff like that, I'm stuck in a rut of playing all the same stuff over and over. I'm gonna try and figure out those chords you used in here, I like the sound of them. Almost forgot to mention, the tone sounded good as well.

Thanks alot. It's all about the extensions I learned.

I'll tell you the first one, it's a tricky one -The first chord is a C root, with a 10th, 12th, and 13th above it. So it's the C on the E string with your middle finger, the E on the G string with your pinky, G on the B string with your ring finger, and A on the high e with your index.

It's an awkward stretch, but I would highly suggest you start training your hand to make large stretches like that.

Beyond, in the second part it was mostly major chords, which switched over to add9 chords after a little bit. Feel free to PM me if you just looked at everything I said and went.. "what?"

Thanks Timmy! That is a tough stretch at first, but I think I got the hang of it, it's a nice sounding chord! I've been trying to figure out how to play more chords with the different chromatics added in, so far I have 9ths and 13ths down kind of well, but now I'm trying to figure out different ways to finger those other than the barre-chord-ish way I do them now. Thanks for the help!
