I was jamming over the solo at the end and came up with something I rather liked, so I found a backing track with no solo and recorded the fucker. It was done on my Jackson through GearBox (amp sim was a JCM800 with a Tube Screamer in front).
Includes a little sprinkling of my favourite new thing I've learned from the technique classes at ICMP - dominant 7th arpeggios. These can be slipped quite nicely into lots of minor pentatonic-based solos, where the major 3rd gives a pretty cool sound. Also has a slidey 5ths-based lick that I rather like, which starts off from the weird b5-based part in the actual solo. I tried to keep it relatively fitting to the song, hopefully it is.
The recording isn't perfect (it skips a teensy bit right near the end, for some reason I don't know) and some of the playing is a little messy in places, but I wanted to get it out there!
