i played all of the solo guitar only.
this one is interesting for guitarists, because i used my custom Williams Special, thru my Mesa Mark 2B into a Demeter Isolation Cabinet to record all of the solo guitar parts.

ward,
you got it.

Big,  ominous, and powerful sound!  The old Blues guys used to say that they wanted their guitars to talk for them.  Man, you made 'em talk especially in the beginning.
Nice one!!!
 

nice freddy,
glad you dig it.....
 
 

As new descriptive phrases come into our lanquage I sometimes resist embracing them, however today I begin.
 
This is sick!
 
(Great Job)

Although not the style of guitar music I usually listen to, the mix sounds spot on to me. Good job!

thanks tbosco!
that's cool that you checked it out,
i didn't have anything to do with the mix,
but i'll pass the compliment on!

Yeah, liking this. Very free-form and affected but still anchored.

The lead guitar parts remind a little of Satriani.

Oh, and love the extended squeal after the 6:00 mark.

ha, the extended squeal, yes, sometimes those little unexpected things just happen,
i try to just roll with them.
thanks for listening!

As always, your guitar playing is stellar.  But, I love the drums in this, and if you played or programmed them, then you hit a home run.  There's always a lot to learn from listening to you.

THANKS LYNN!
 
this was a collab, as was explained in the OP....
 
but, here's a bit more info:
 
False Haruspex (core group) wrote and arranged the basic tracks, i created solo guitar tracks on the basic 3-piece, some of the rhythms, and some melodies.

solo guitar
Gear used:
1984 Carvin DC200K electric guitar, with Duncan Custom Custom in bridge, stock carvin neck pickup. Kahler bridge.
2006 custom Strat-style guitar, the 'cream machine', with bill lawrence pickups. Hipshot bridge.
1986 Stan Williams Hybrid guitar, w/bill lawrence pickups in the neck and middle, duncan lil 59'r in the bridge. Kahler bridge.
1981 Mesa Boogie Mark IIb 60 watt tube head, w/graphic eq. This head was modified for some of the tracks with a Groovetubes Substitube Tube adapter (takes 6L6 tubes down to EL84's).
Some guitar delay and reverb effects were printed, being added at the effects loop of the boogie. effects unit is a Yamaha DG stomp.
Pedals used: Barber Direct Drive SS overdrive, Barber Tone Press compressor, Ibanez Weeping Demon wah pedal. boss NS-2 noise suppressor pedal.
Cabinets: (2) cabinets were used. The first, a Demeter Isolation cabinet, was internally miced with a combination of a Shure SM57, and a Audio Technica AT4033. Speakers in the Demeter were either an Eminence Legend 112, or a Celestion Vintage 30.
The 2nd, a Roland Closed back 1x12 cabinet with a Celestion Greenback, was typically miced with a ADK Hamburg at about a foot away, and slightly off axis. Some tracks are just the Demeter, some are just the Roland, and some were Summed together, for dry iso cab sound mixed with big room sound.
recording chain: from the mic(s), the signal ran to a A Designs Audio MP-1 class A tube mic preamp, out of that into a DBX MC-6 compressor for light compression, out of that into a ART DPS preamp/convertor, that was used for digital conversion only, and into a Roland VS-1880 digital recorder. These tracks were output from the roland into Sonar via a digital coax cable into a MAudio Delta Audiophile 24/96 sound card.
