Thank you for giving it a listen, Frank. Glad you liked it. I honestly wasn't trying to emulate anyone, just playing what I felt at the moment. I appreciate the references. I guess you can tell who I listen to. :laughing7:
The guitar is a mahogany Warmoth Soloist with a bloodwood top. The neck is a mystery. It was one of two "one-offs" Warmoth sold back in 2009 made of "an unknown Bolivian Hard Wood that doesn't require a finish." :dontknow: The pickup is a DiMarzio Steve's Special. I think I could have cut back on the presence a bit. I had just finished playing on "Bungle," which is a fairly warm guitar.

Nice! You hear how it has more of a "message" to it now? A good melody line is sorta conversant, for lack of a better term. Some parts run together, some are drawn out, sometimes you pause for effect, stuff like that. If you don't have those timing dynamics in there, it tends to sound monotonous.
For your next trick, you might add some diads and triads here and there for emphasis, which will improve the dynamics even more. Even with timing changes, a series of single notes still sounds like a series of single notes.

There are such good mood in your playing and tone is basic nice for style.
(for my personal taste, back off a bit distortion and kill every hint of chorus which I think I hear)
You come around low and high notes well.
Still what could improve your playing is not only only holding long notes for variation.
There are more to do. Also provide your playing with actual not playing at all, so we are kept excited
for the next phrase coming.

Thanks for giving it a listen, Kevin, and thanks for the kind words. Yeah, it's a lot easier to be melodic and breathe some space in the power ballad type of tracks. The more upbeat ones tend to make me zone. :laughing7:
@Uffe Steen: Thank you for listening and the feedback. Your playing is awesome, and to receive positive feedback from you is an honor. You have a fantastic ear if you heard the chorus in the effects chain. I usually like just a touch of it.
