Found Treasures VI

Here's an old neoclassical style guitar solo I recorded over a year ago that I wanted to add to so I put some small orchestral accents in there to embellish the movements. Played around a lot with harmonic minor and some phrygian. Recorded the solo on my schecter custom guitar.

I'm working on an instrumental album at the moment and re-amping this was a tone test of sorts for my lead for the album. This solo pays homage to one of my favorite guitar players, Yngwie J Malmsteen. In the same way that Jimi Hendrix and Eddie Van Halen changed the guitar scene when they came out in the 60s and 70s respectively, Yngwie changed it again in '83. I consider those guys the BIG 3. If I name all of the players that influenced me though this paragraph will go on forever so I'll stop it here lol.

Cat Nip

'Harry The Hedgehog' is a my tribute to a little hedgehog who wanders peacefully around my garden and whom I have named Harry. He always brings a smile to my face and goes about his business around the garden quietly. reminding me to do the same. 
He isn't without threat though, with the odd cat or dog challenging his right to be in the garden, however in his own quiet way, when threatened, he simply curls up in a spiky ball and awaits their departure.

"Woah, ah, mercy, mercy me
Ah, things ain't what they used to be (ain't what they used to be)
Where did all the blue skies go?
Poison is the wind that blows
From the north and south and east...."
