I sound like an idiot!

Thats all good really.

Enough information to gather roughly where you were and what you were thinking as you were playing.

I am just trying to build up a few ideas that expand on what I was doing already, I didn't think of going all bluesy over it like you did in the first take.

I was playing something similar to the second take, but I am not a very good lead guitarist so not quite as good as yours was.

You know sometimes you just feel stagnated, like you stuck in a rut and everything you play sounds exactly the same, that is where I am right now in my lead playing, just hoping this sparks a few ideas for other people that i can work off of, send me in a new direction, that sort of thing.
