Rip it to shreds guys. Everything from me strumming the e-power chord on was just winged, not sure how I feel about going on the 2nd half.

Very nice Spase. Lots of energy coming from this take and really cool tone. I think I know part of the reason, where you using the profiler? What profile? =)

Solo construction wise - you are well on your way and with some tweaks this will sound awesome.

You do a very good job until 00:25. The only minor exception would be the short phrase at 00:12-00:14 . I think the idea is good but it sounds a little tame after your cool intro. See if you can add some more expression to it (slide, bend vibrato) - alternatively think of another lick.

At 00:25 it feels like you ran out of ideas, since you end in the middle of what would be the chorus/climax. To me this feels like the wrong place to have a pause. You should give your everything here and intensify the super cool, high-pitched chorus melody you cam up with for the chorus. I think that all you need to do is give it some more time and you will figure this part out.

Playing wise the most important fix you can do relates to timing. You are almost consistently slightly ahead of the beat, rushing things (the slow section starting at 00:18 feels better though). I assume your take is correctly aligned with the backing track?

Good news is - since you are consistently ahead of the beat - you probably have pretty good timing. But for some reason you stressed things. I tend to do this when I record something without being prepared enough, simply because I get nervous.

Since this is quite an issue for me, I try to do some mental exercises where I tell myself:

* try to play behind the beat, chances are you will land in between (spot on in other words). If you do end up playing behind the beat, it usually sounds much better than playing ahead of it (and many times actually better than playing on the beat).

* Try to relax and not care about the outcome of your recording, just play for fun. This sure is harder than it sounds. But after all - you can just delete your take if you didn't like it.

* Finally the safest method, is probably to practice the whole thing until you know it in and out. You will then relax because you're comfortable with your ability.

Let me know if this makes sense? I am really excited to hear the final version!
