Ok... I listened to this 2wice.
Yep, there's some passion in the playing which is good.
To me this is a 4 minute & 30 second run-on sentance. I suggest you re-cut it. Find a few of the motif's/melody lines and arrange some phrases.
Now that you got the initial angst out of your system, I feel you could REALLY arrange a rockin' piece of music from this.

Kelly,
Sorry for the delayed response. Your kind encouragement is very much appreciated. This was one of those magic 3-4am sessions alone in the studio. I love it when I can play back through the monitors at a good volume rather than having to rely on headphones all the time. Nothing like moving air. You sort of float around with the sound. Anyway, than you for the inspiration. I believe a new set of strings is in order. Much Respect,
Voltage

Sorry about the heart, but thanks for the tune and hangin it all out there. Great playing.

A women can gouge out a piece of your heart, but the empty space is capable of holding more it would seem. Great emotion.

Hey Wookie. I appreciate your compassion. No need to be sorry though. Without the experience, there would be no expression and thus no song. By the way, here is an example of a single drum loop throughout. Had planned to have my drummer replace the track, though we never got round to it. So you see, the single drum loop can indeed work in many situations. Keep hammering and thanks again for the compliments.

Neil,
Thanks for the review. Cause for big smile and a chuckle or two. Yes there is something about those Shauna girls that just rips your heart out. I am thankful we have music to express the emotion. Otherwise I would probably end up doing time in some correctional facility or mental institution. Jail House Rock....

Mandarosa,
Thanks for taking the time to listen and making the effort to comment. Each time I hear this track, I remember every moment of working all night to make it happen. There's a lot of tears in there, but I find now that I am happy to have worked so hard to express the moment. Happy to find so many musicians understand. I am inspired. Thanks so much. Voltage

Great playing Mr Voltage! It's always a pleasure to listen to a emotion being expressed through an instrument, and you did a first class job. Production and arrangement are top, as is the mix...

Cheers Slap...

Slap,
Thanks for listening and commenting. Though I have been making music most all of my life, I find that I am still learning. About music and myself. Struggling with some health issues right now, but when I get through this latest challenge, I hope to collaborate with you and Bilbozo on something special. It's a goal of mine. Thanks again Slap, you are one of the best musicians I have encountered. Much Respect. Voltage

Always wished I could play electric guitar. Can't even plays chords on one and make it sound right. Hard to believe there's such a difference between electric and acoustic.
Another great job on the guitar.

B,
Thanks again for your kindness. The Shauna track means more to me than most. It was accomplished at a moment in my life when the guitar strings were directly attached to my heart strings. Thanks for the encouragement. It means a lot to me. Voltage

Gizz,
Never got round to sending a very grateful thank you for your kindness. This one does have special meaning to me. I recorded this during an all night session. Alone in my studio in tears. If I have ever expressed true emotion in a recording this is it. This is truly the sound of my heart breaking. On the mend thanks to my LooperFriends. Thanks Gizz.

I grabbed my volume quick as well but I just wanted to crank this up!!! Almost pulls at the heart strings how you can make your guitar cry. It reminds me a bit of Satriani's "What Breaks A Heart" with a touch of 80's power ballads. Beautiful, man.
