Playing around a bit with DADGAD tuning and leaning a bit metalwards in sound.  Idiom in music, and how it is shaped by one's instruments and studio tools, is something that I find fascinating; this was an interesting exercise in that.  I'd originally intended to write some lyrics, and I ended up getting some written, but the directions my compositional self were being drawn to were really not going to work with those lyrics.  I may reuse them some other time, but I ended up wanting to follow this to its conclusion first.  Guitar is an Ibanez archtop that I got for free because it had a neck break, into a Blues Driver, into a DC-2W for the shimmer, direct into a USB preamp.
