Great write-up on Cheap Guitars!

Some notes:

Eschaton was done by EPOCH6 (a member here) and he graciously offered the track for me to play over. I thought it came out rather splendidly, so I included it in the album. It also fit the flow really well.

Bad Guitar Blues was a BT used to have a bit of fun with a singer friend of mine, and yes that's me singing in the intro, then after the solo my good friend Tina Marie takes the mic.

Purdie Plank Shuffle was made from an instructional drum track that Freebase had posted and used in one of his works. I decided to give it a little love too.

Left Alone was a BT I came across and liked the sad quality of it. One day after my best friend died, I took my pain out on it.

The drum tracks used on the rest are either Hydrogen, or some sample drum track I'd found. As the title suggests, this album was created mostly with a cheap Squier Strat I had purchased over the summer. I wanted to show what could be done even if a person doesn't have access to expensive equipment. To produce something at least listenable with minimal overhead. I play that Strat everyday while my 1k+ guitars sit in their cases. It's not that I don't like my PRS, or my Carvin, but this Strat has a character all it's own, and it brings out the defiant nature in me.

A thousand thank you's to you Trollheart for the listen, the review, and the great rating. I would only suggest that you possibly include a link to the albums you reviewed, so anyone who's interest has been piqued can have access right here, instead of fruitlessly searching for it.
