Musically this is freaking awesome, but personally, I'd tone down the compression a little bit.

I think this is D Dorian or D minor no? Cool guitar either way :) ~Geas

From the root D, as the picked notes are D, F, G and B.... Sometimes interesting stuff occurs when you just plug in some numbers. For example, I sometimes play around with what I call the Rush Scale where the scale goes Tone - Semi - Semi - Tone - Semi - Semi - Tone So you get from C C - D - D# - E - F# - G - Ab - Bb Why Rush - well (Tone - semi - semi - tone = 2112) ;-)

that's damned interesting...thinking about riffs mathematically. Makes sense. As for the last part. I'm a bit rusty in that department lately too. root, minor third, fourth, and sixth for what? and what do u mean ON DFGB?

Well for a start I cocked up in the description ;-) the clean part is basically 0 5 3 0 0 0 Picked on the A,D,G,B strings. Simple motif, and one thats been bugging me for a while. So its basically on D,F,G,B.... I sometimes tend to think mathematically about riffs and occasionally something unusual comes out of it... Whats that root,minor third, fourth, sixth? My theory knowledge isn't awesome, I'm ashamed to say ;-)

Yeah, I was in an odd mood. I'm trying to back to the 'less is more' mentality but its hard going...!
