Raphael Fraser: the doc fires away.

This is a piece I wrote a few years back to be the opener for my set at a meeting of the Guitar Association of New Zealand; I wanted something up-tempo and rocky, but not heavy. I ended up with this lydian thing, which reminded me a bit of Andy Timmons, and to a lesser extent, Joe Satriani - so I was quite happy, really.

I'm not too happy with the solo in this recording, but the rest went down quite well, so I kept it. I hope you like it. 8)

I used my beautiful Ash Customworks custom guitar ( http://www.ashcustomworks.com ), into my old ProCo Rat2, direct into my iMac, running GarageBand, with LAConvolver to apply an impulse response of a Marshall JCM2000.
