Hey, Rik,
 
You've got a very classy rock instrumental here with beautiful playing and a really tasty guitar lead tone!
 
I don't remember Roy Buchanan's version, but I always liked Gary Moore's version in the late 80's, and I'd say you really did this justice.
 
Excellent work, Rik!

Hi Bob, thanks for listening. Glad you like the lead tone, not bad for an Ovation ; )  I love Gary Moore's version too.
 
Hi thepogue, so glad you think it's cool : )

I'm not familiar with the original either, but this is lovely!  excellent playing.  well balanced mix.  nice all around.
 
I wasn't fond of the chromatic runs.  that's probably the way the song was intended, but it wasn't my favorite part.  and there were a few places they sounded out of time.  mind you - that's some fast playing!  not many people could pull that off!  
 
just my 2cents.  I may be completely off as well!

Hi Makke, thanks for listening, glad you like the sound.
 
Hi Beagle , thanks for listening, glad you like it. The chromatic parts are indeed part of the original and my timing is lousy ;)  Due to medical reasons  i have troubles moving my left arm in a smooth motion and you can certainly hear it ; )

Riiiiiight.....    
 
Just listened to the final final version.   I liked it.  The arrangement and mix work nicely but for me it's the guitar performance that makes it.   Yeah, I can hear a little bit of what you described in the top of that chromatic run, but for having a physical issue and still pulling this off all I can say is well done.
