Song by Richard John-Riley. This in response to Richard's request for lead break interpretations. Here's my take on it.
Pumice (Soft Rock)

TDPRI Backing Track Challenge; I used one of my 2009 PRS Custom 22s on this. Other equipment was a POD HD through a USB interface to Garage Band on an iPad.

Sick Spack (six different vignettes in one track)
Sick Spack (six different vignettes in one track)
This track contains six sections--forcing me to change horses in mid-stream and come up with something that fits each musical context. More of an experiment with six separate little songs rather than a single composition. PRS C22 on this track.
Batman!
Batman!
My take on the classic theme song written by Neil Hefti for the 1960s TV series Batman.
Walk Don't Run. Aloha.
Walk Don't Run. Aloha.
My take on jazz great Johnny Smith's classic surf tune by The Ventures. I used a custom Jazzmaster on this track. Book 'em, Danno!
Sticky Wicked (Tribute to Jimmy)
Sticky Wicked (Tribute to Jimmy)
Custom Stratocaster through a Princeton with plenty of drippy reverb and a sprinkling of delay.
Lounge LiZZard
Lounge LiZZard
Loungey-sounding groove with a Dano baritone and A PRS Custom 22. Since this sounds like a sleazy band from a film noir bar scene or a David Lynch flick, it needed an appropriate ending.
Hairway to Steven

A quick take on my version of the solo for Stairway, clams and all.
Stairway: play the solo yourself!

Tiptoe Though the Eye V
What sort of crazy person plays a pointy Gibson Flying V on a super chilly tune like this? Me!
The Planets and the Stars
The Planets and the Stars
Re-work of the previous tune that has the heavy distorto guitar section in the middle. I mellowed out the middle section here with some harmony guitar lines to create more of a 'floaty' feeling than the harder-edged sound in the previous version.
The Ballad of Big Clive
The Ballad of Big Clive
Every folk hero needs a song about them. This is about Big Clive, a Youtube personality that has a very interesting channel. Celebrity Voice NOT Impersonated!
The Ballad of AvE
The Ballad of AvE
Every folk hero needs a song about them. This is about AvE, a Youtube personality that has a very interesting channel. There is some adultish language in this recording. Celebrity Voice NOT Impersonated!
