    The Fade to Black solo made me really smile since I practice that all the time. :0) A lot of the rhythm parts sound distinctly Metallica regardless of what notes you play, so cool to separate out the rhythm from the tone ans see what sounds Metallica, and what doesn't. Finally the Call of Ktulu was epic. You could play that in a different context and most people would have no idea.
