okay its too late to do this now, tomorrow ill try to do it, sorry for not PMing you and instead making a triple post.. Tomorrow is busy, but maybe in the morning i can fit time in to fill this. I must say, its VERY scatter brained but has potential. Either way, i will do my best, soudns like theres 80298 parts to it. O.o

Before you spruce it up. Tie it together. I think all the elements are there for a good song but i think it needs to be structured better. Maybe vocals would help tie it together in its current form.

i cant really think i can get lyrics to go with this song, i think its more like a "stream" type song, but maybe you think differently.

I hear ya. I wasn't looking at it that way since most songs have lyrics/vocals. In that case I would get some cool edit pro and add some extra tracks, solos/fills.

Plat around the fretboard. I have no clue where to start either but I mess around until I find something that sounds similar.
