every hero comes with a choice
I got my Guild hollow body electric back from Owen Davidson’s lutherie and it sounds great again; he fixed the intonation, the pickup, and the pearl inlays that had worn off years ago. Thanks, Owen. I was so happy to get it back that I used it to record this mellow little looped harmonics piece here:

(Evan says everything I compose with guitar sounds like a Volkswagen ad, and while I’m not entirely sure it’s a complement, it is a fair observation; let me just state for the record that it’s not a quality in my music that I purposefully strive for. Having said that, this track sounds totally great in a Passat or a Golf.)

Sounds great. My coworker thinks he hears a thumb piano in there as well?

Nope, it’s all lightly picked guitar harmonics — my thumb piano is badly out of tune, and I’ve been putting off fixing it.

Awesome, as usual.
It feels a little more like a depressing Volkswagon commercial now. :p

BTW. I’m preparing a huge “Worst of the Interweb” article for ldopa.net. After 1 month of research I think I’ve found more crap than folds in Rosanne’s thigh meat.
I think you’ll enjoy it mightily.
