Great development of intensity in the beginning of the song with drums, then panned guitars, then bass. Nice work!

Review:

What went well:
- Really enjoyed playing this one, got into the zone just jamming this one out.
- Had to practice this a bit to be able to play this sufficiently well at speed, so improved my playing.
- Again, having a bounce to listen to at each step. I like working in this way of iterations of a track and think it works well for me to move a project forward.
- It's cool incorporating ideas from music I've been enjoying recently as influences to my tracks. Opening drums from Chubby and the drop down to lower guitars from recent Ty Segall on KEXP.

Better next time?
- Lead line/solo. This is an area I'd definitely like to improve on with my writing and creativity.
- Vocals. Melody is another area I'd like to improve in, and then finding the time and space to be able to jam and play around with different vocal ideas will be key in the future.

Additional notes
- Still really appreciating weekly beats to get me playing more and egenerating more ideas and riffs. It's really cool to think how many ideas and projects I've started or advanced since starting this thing. Very cool.

that song title gave me a chuckle
captured the energy of that vibe but put yer own twist on it - that was fun!
