Lost River

Three tracks of PureSalem Mendiola in standard tuning, no pedals. (The both-pickups channel probably could have used some JHS Colourbox, but I didn't patch it in.) There's a touch of send to a convolution reverb and the usual multiband compression/eq effect rack on the stereo mix.
I started this one with the first melody you hear, around the 12th fret, thinking I could shake things up a bit, and then realized it's in E, and had a strong pull to being I-IV-V. Oh well. I'm pretty sure I've used that one three-note motif before. Too trite? It's what I had this week, so in it goes: probably better to go with a more insistent melody rather than something that avoids it.
The title comes from the 637ft. elevation of Lost River, IN.
