Very nice Dude, it almost sounds like the Scorpions Love of my Life... Very moody and
melodic...!!!

The slap-back reverb is a little overwhelming though, you might wanna turn it down just
a little... At times it gets confusing and it distracts from the melody...

Nicely done...!!!

Very pretty, nice when things fall into place isn't it? Sounds like you have some major effects going on.

Glad your able to put P.T. to practical use so fast. A little more polishing and you will have something there.

i dont have PT yet i just read a couple of kirks introduction on chord tones and about what he said about the chords all over the neck and i used those notes to create the melody for example for C major which consist of triads C E G i used those notes all over the fretboard to create the melody and mixed them like GCE, CGE, GEC etc tahts what i understood and it seems to work

Hey Jason, the practical use of PT is basically that you can see at a glance how to play any type of chord or group of notes you can think of, and can as a result improvise very melodically over anything, no matter how difficult the chord progression. Because of the way guitar is traditionally taught, this skill is very difficult for most guitarists and usually takes a long time to develop. Luckily, PT makes it much easier and simpler and more enjoyable.

If you're having trouble, I really suggest posting some questions over at the PT forum, Kirk and I and everyone else will be happy to help you out.

Sounded pretty damned good to me. But then again my only qualification is the love of music.

Well done buddy...
