Great solo too. What I've done here is that I've put all the stuff played by one guitar by itself. For instance, first is the acoustic 12-string (slightly effected), then there's the overdriven electric, and, finally the solo which has some serious delay on it that is set to the pulse of the song. Very cool. However, I am a bit hesitant about Rhy. Fig 5. I seem to hear this when I really concentrate but I can't say for sure. Same thing with the arpeggitaion in Rhy. Fig 4. Perhaps a bit off but it works.
