Description
A brand new song, written and recorded between Christmas Day 2008 and the 10th January 2009. a number of things prompted this song. Firstly the brand new Ibanez GAX30 guitar I received, which has a wildly more interesting tone than the cheap Strat copy I had used 'til now. I've pushed it through Gearbox, using the awesome "Weavin' Tweed" preset.
Secondly I was also the recipient of a Korg NanoPAD - a usb midi controller with 12 touch and velocity sensitive pads. This meant that, for the first time ever I was freed of drum loops. Of course that sounds simple but in actual fact I found the creating of the drum track hard work as I'm not overly familiar with drums. I'm quite pleased with the results, however, which I was able to tailor directly to the song. It's nice not having to hunt for a drum pattern or fill, knowing you can just make it exactly as you want it, with aftertouch and subtlety where needed.
I hope you all enjoy this - I've worked hard at the structure, changing tempo and putting in a true bridge for once.

Your new guitars sounding great here.
Love the contrast between quieter moments and the full on rocking. Really works.
Catchy bridge too!
Nice one
