Thanks, it was a lot of fun putting this together when I live in PA and he lives in OH!
Since EVH used a Steinberger, I had to play the intro part in standard, then pitch shift it up after the fact. Plus the drums are all programmed in EZ Drummer 3. I took a lot of listens to the song and went measure by measure hand programming the part. The solo was a serious pain in the ass, honestly. I'm not super good at recording and mixing and such yet, but like you said, for what it is, I'm pretty pleased with it.
