alright tom!
appreciate the comments... yea, the rough stage, man, i actually did 15 versions of this song, experimenting with multiple guitar tracks, stereo tracks, different kits, different mix techniques... i used it as my 'laboratory' to try out stuff i hadn't done before.
all different, just trying to figure out how to get to where i wanted to be.
my guitar tones,
i used the absolutely lowest gain i could get away with for the rhythms,
and THAT was the magic.
i had to really work to get those parts to pop....
