I just made this 5 minutes ago, I started working bits of it out yesterday so thought id record a bit down its only the bits Ive worked out, I'll record the whole thing soon.

Theres actually a funny story about this, just as I was in the middle of recording it the sound went crazy like super mad feedback and screeching.It almost blew my ears off, I thought it must be the cable, so I tryed another, same thing. I was thinking what the heck is it. I plugged my guitar into my crappy marshall amp, same thing. I decided then to open up the jack input on my guitar, inside one of the wires had completely come off and the other was barely touching. I thought darn it, I'm in the middle of a recording here.

So I got some scissors snipped back the plastic sheath and did a temp bodge job on it and simply wrapped whatever of the wire I could around the terminals. They were barely hanging on but this recording was the result directly after this temporary bodge.

For the love of god

I've never listened to any of Steve Vai's solo work, but this reminds me of Frank Zappa! It's like he took a small part of a Zappa tune and repeated it, and omitted anything crazy.

One of my favourite Vai tracks, tho I'm not a Passion & Warfare fan.
Great stab at that song!!! :)

Thanks for listening, thats just the practise recording as i call it, to fine tune the tone and work out the proper bits ready for the real recording of it. I'm gonna record the whole thing for real pretty soon, just as soon as i have worked out and got the chops down at the end of the song, which is not too far away.

Exactly, and any Vai fans should definitely check out some Zappa!
