wanted to say. I loved that sound and I knew if I just got the right distortion on the 7-string, I could play these big, thick, rich chords. Because on the 7th string you can do these voicings that you just can?t do [on a 6-string.] And I heard just this wall of rich, dense, distorted guitars with these tension-filled chords that resolve and have little melodies in them and stuff. I love long melody and I wanted the melody in the song to not sound anything like the guitar solo. So I worked very carefully on it and sometimes phrase by phrase. Every phrase that I did I told myself, ?What are you gonna do in this phrase that?s differt than anything you?ve ever done before?? There?s so many nuances and it?s so much fun for me. Do you think that even the most ardent listener ever hears how much work you put into a song like this? I don?t think anybody gets it. I?m finding out people do respond to those little tiny nuances ?cause they build up and create an atmosphere. I doubled it so it?s almost like a mechanical melody. I loved it and I heard the whole thing in my head?not the notes but the concept: I?m gonna do these phrases and they?re gonna be all different. Really what the whole second half of the song is is the chord changes from the first half sprinkled out on the piano for space with this melody
