    You got great taste in music, my friend. Post H, noise, alternative, grunge, Shoegaze, etc. I'm 35 so all this shit is dear to my heart. Even pulled some Shellac out your ass just to make my day even better. Glad we still got some of us around, we're becoming the Old Heads

    Dragonaut by Sleep, so many riffs from Modest Mouse - criminally underrated band in general(the opening riff of Teeth Like God's Shoeshine, all of Doin the Cockroach, the seagull guitars of Make Everyone Happy/Mechanical Birds), Virginia Reel Around the Mountain by the Halo Benders has wonderful licks in it. Appreciate the Shellac inclusion, another criminally underrated band.

    How is the let down one not in 5/4 all the way through?

      The underlying drum rhythm is in 4/4, so I decided to notate the guitar that way. I ended on a measure of 5/4 so that the riff would cut off at a natural place
