I've done better than this; this recording was done sloppily, as usual. As always, try to bear with it.

Solo 4 Solo 4

This recording was made before I got a papercut on my right hand's index finger. Naturally, this would imply that this solo has fret tapping. It also has whammy bar wankage. I think I get a little too excited with those things.
