JARG

That guitar part always sounds like it would be difficult to play to me. Maybe I'm wrong. I think you're right, if you're talking about the high-pitched looping thing he does. It kind of sounds like the same hammer-on pull-off type thing that Alex does in The Spirit of Radio intro. I'm sure an experienced guitarist could do that part quite easily. But it sounds awesome. I wish I was an experienced guitarist. No amateurs sound like you. I sound like me, and I'm an amateur!

How long have you been playing, JARG? About 35 years. I know, I know -- I should be much better than I am.

I bet there are Garth Brooks fans who thank their lucky stars they're Garth Brooks fans.

I like the song quite a bit and (bonus!) it has an excellent solo.

Is he that guy from Rush? I loved that song of their's...Mark Twain, I think it was called...are they still together?

Shit, it wouldn't surprise me if that was one of his main influences for this :D Alex who?

Aw thanks man! That means a lot to me!

Finally getting caught up with these, and this is the first one I listened to. A good example of an 8-minute song that doesn't sound like it was stretched to fill 8 minutes -- the song just naturally took that long to tell the story. Very well done and my attention never wavered. Great pinch harmonics on the first solo! Thanks...that first solo was mostly improvised...the others have more thought put into them. Actually, the short little solo at the end was pretty much off-the-cuff as well. I wish I could improvise that effectively. I really need to set up some backing tracks and practice the hell out of that. And I wish I was better at composing solos! I tend to overthink the feel right out of my playing if I try.

Really great work there. You're an excellent player.

she says it ain't him. I say lorraine is f*ckin with us THAT'S HIM!!!! He was already mentioned, or people wouldn't have kept posting. I posted that picture of Jack because Lorraine didn't rule him out when his name was mentioned.

It's pretty epic. This one has a combination of Mike's and my guitar parts.
