<r>Hey Ian,<br/>
<br/>
Great playing as always, I really like the smooth legato endings, reminds me of Gary Moore. My only comment would be to bring less speed in it, and really intersperse it with passages that have a theme and then build upon it. <br/>

Think of the solo as having a starting ...

Well I've heard your playing Chain, and I know it can have it's place, but in most cases Ive seen it as a replacement for musicality. And held as a standard of being "good".
