I'm starting to have the song ready. Only need to not screw up while recording it...

On the bright side, I learned something interesting today while testing a Peavey Tube Amp. Apparently, I can play a lot faster than I give myself credit for, as long as I don't think about playing fast. I tried playing a few different solos for the song, and most sounded pretty nice, until I started thinking about my speed, at which point things just went straight to hell. So when I start recording the solo, I should probably focus more on other things than my speed (like which chord is next, how long until I have to hit one of the Chord Notes, when does the solo end, and so on)... Apparently, it's true that the only limit is my mind... Just in a different way than normally...

As for the recording itself, it's going slowly... I doubt I'll manage to reach my deadline with a satisfying result... Or maybe I should just try to stop focusing on what I'm doing...
