I recorded this track not too long ago, right after I got my Squire Stratocaster. The maple neck, single coil pickups and tremolo really combined to give a guitar sound that I could not achieve before with my Epiphone, and I felt really inspired.

The lead guitar was carefully written along with the backing track, not using my usual approach of improvising over and over again until I hit something I like. I even saved the project as Study in G minor, as it felt like I was taking a much more methodical approach than usual, like I was studying the key of G minor - just as someone with actual musical knowledge, unlike myself, might do. The synth chord progression was chosen from a part of the keyboard track from Shine on you crazy diamond by Pink Floyd, which is one of my all time favorite songs (so much so that I even have a tattoo with part of the guitar solo score on my leg).
The synth plugin blew me away, it sounds awesome, and it has named parameters such as 'Butter', which I really thought was great. The user interface is really friendly, the included presets sound cool, I can only repeat myself by saying how pleased I was by this little chunk of software. Here is a link to the VST [link] - it is free, which is a really valuable attribute for anything these days.
