    Just finishing mine now too. I haven't entered one of these challenges for a couple of years and have been enjoying getting back into recording music again with this one. It'll also be my first ever time recording myself singing (well attempting to anyway).

    I must admit at 43 I didn't think my first time hearing my voice on a recording would involve hearing me pleading for a warm blooded lover. I played it for my daughters who were suitably horrified at hearing their Dad singing these lyrics, which I quite enjoyed.

    Anyway off to try to apply some finishing touches.

    @Lev if it’s any help I’ve been recording myself singing (badly) for years and I still couldn’t quite picture myself singing that either

    Can't believe I missed this comment! Did your cousin bring the pig (Bubba?) over with him, or did you have to go out pig shopping before you recorded?

    @stratman3142 - Your solo is epic, like a lost Van Halen take for Beat It!

    That's because I wanted it to sound a bit like EVH and ripped off ideas from that solo, which I used to play in a covers band.
    It's not a competition.

    Just submitted mine . I'm looking forward to listening to the other entries now as I've been resisting the urge to go through the playlist in case I subconsciously steal ideas. Really enjoyed putting this together especially as it was my first time recording vocals. I'm a very limited singer but I found there are plenty of VST's out there to polish up a dodgy vocal to make it at least passable.

    Subconsciously? Wouldn’t worry, me and @poopot managed unconscious cloning :-)
    Looking forward to hearing yours. I might have to bend your ear about vocal fixing VSTs too :-)

    Cheers guys. Mr Morello is one of my guitar heroes so I tried to pay homage with this track.

    I now regret selling my Whammy pedal a couple of years ago as the Boss GT sweep is rubbish and limited what was possible

    What VSTs did you use? Vocals sound great on yours!

    Thanks @Luttis Sorry, my wife has taken my music making laptop for a college project so I can't check which plugins I used. But I'm pretty sure I used this list of VSTs and did some trial and error to see which worked best. https://blog.landr.com/every-free-plugin-need-mixing-perfect-vocals/
