  Jim's take on "Running On Faith"

This is not a solo that's meant to bear resemblence to the original "Running On Faith", but rather just my try at playing something from my heart that is inspired by the backing track (as if it were not already a well known song). So please don't judge this by whether it sounds like versions you already know, but as original material.

I also wanted very much to continue to experiment with recording using the SM57 mic I got, and different tones I could get. This is a try at getting a cleaner, yet still full, tone that befits the song. Let me know how I did. I may also post this over in the main booth just to get feedback on the tone issue from people that usually don't come over here to the Backing Tracks area.

I haven't tried "Wonder Tonight" - partly because that has such a well known melody that's so ingrained in people's memories that it would be hard to get away with playing it without getting the real melody down correctly, and I haven't done that yet. I also hope Krissovo gives it a try as he mentioned.

Here's my attempt:
