And to celebrate here's a cover of a section of Hergest Ridge Part 1. I'm growing fonder of Hergest Ridge all the time. Specifically this theme. I decided to cover it. I thought about doing the rest of it or even maybe the whole of Part 1 but I haven't gotten around to it yet. And the ending is unfinished as there's no big orchestra building up like in the original. I also don't have an acoustic guitar so I had to play the finger picking part on electric and it's not the best...but it's a pretty cool rendition of the original, I think.

The french horn is also from my pedal. Actually the only sound that isn't from my guitar is the drumloop. -------------- BrandonBlume.com "The beauty in life is in the embracing of the variety of things.
