Electric Guitar completed

Recording began around 7:09 this morning, with the help of the following co-conspirators:
The first takes started by using the neck pick-up which yielded a beautiful tone, which was not used simply because it disappeared when played with the other tracks. I used both pick-ups in combination and the sound stood out without being aggressive.

The part was subtly modified also. Most of the original part is still present, but some chords have been dropped to avoid clutter. In the chorus I double the bass part, which sounds much better to my ears. The flat wound strings of the guitar and bass give another identity to this part of the piece.

The next step is to try once more to get the vocals down and maybe add a harmony line in places. We'll see.
