Created drums and bass in my DAW, then played the intro solo about seven or eight times. This is the best of those seven or eight takes. I was having trouble keeping string noise down (not so much muting, but “creaks” during sustained bends, etc). Maybe too much gain.
The guitar is my new ES-339 on its bridge pickup through a Boss GT-1000 Core (using a slightly tweaked “Brit Stack 57” patch). Went straight into the interface from the GT-1000 Core.
