So I got my new Guitar World magazine in the mail and wanted to record something. I looked at the tablature for "Man on the Silver Mountain" by Rainbow and just started recording without listening to the song or following the tab or anything.

"The 'Ride of the Valkyries' refers to the beginning of act 3 of Die Walküre, the second of the four operas constituting Richard Wagner's Der Ring des Nibelungen. As a separate piece, the 'Ride' is often heard in a purely instrumental version…

Playing my 7-string guitar can be quite enjoyable at times.

found this on my computer, forgot i had it.

"One of few guitarists in the first wave of free jazz in the 1960s, Sharrock was known for his heavily chorded attack, his highly amplified bursts of feedback, and his use of saxophone-like lines played loudly on guitar." -Wikipedia

Heaviness with an unusual tuning.

with a few harmony lines here and there.

Parts of this track were based on patterns #11 and #225 from Slonimsky’s Thesaurus of Scales and Melodic Patterns.

Low C metal.

trying to play like yngwie and failing.

An exoplanet of burning ice.

Tried to record some counterpoint things but they all failed and then this stuff came out.

Some parts of this track were based on pattern No. 1319 from Slonimsky’s Thesaurus of Scales and Melodic Patterns, hope you like it.

Playing in and out of key, with a challenging Holdsworth lick in there too.

Recorded after listening to Coltrane's "Sun Ship" album.

Quite a bit different from the original.

The funk riff is from a Sly & the Family Stone song; and the 'Hungarian Gypsy' scale also makes a brief appearance. Thanks for listening.

Tried to make a track that had a little bit of Mahavishnu Orchestra flavor.
