I found this awesome backing track by Gilad Perry on youtube. For some reason it just 'clicked' for me so well. Which is why this video is so damn long :D

Lyrics:

Got my ass in debts
On the bloody roulettes
Everybody's on my case

Wanna have it all
But I just can't get a hold
Telling all my friends I'm a king

Living like a star
Drinking Crown Royal
Happy until you see the bill

Play the guitar
Break the whammy bar
Try to play it cool in the end

Call for help it ain't my thing
Crash and burn still on the way
Hope to see the light of day again

Be a hero one more night
Run your mouth and lose a fight
Back to the grind

Take a chance for one last time
Slip away the English style
Back to the grind

Telling all the ladies
About my Mercedes
They'll never know it's a Lada

Blame it on the weather
Be a pain pill consumer
Take my brain on a ride

Take big doses
Of the latest news stories
Did you ever give it a try

Put on a dress
Have a chat with the press
Time for another good lie

Day and night its on my mind
The end is still nowhere in sight
Hope to see another day again

Be a hero one more night
Run your mouth and lose a fight
Back to the grind

Take a chance for one last time
Slip away the English style
Back to the grind

Back to the grind, leaving behind
Back to the grind, the sensible mind
Back to the grind, don't ask me why
Back to the grind, nothing matters now

Back to the grind, leaving behind
Back to the grind, the sensible mind
Don't ask me why, don't ask me why
Never abide, never abide

My cover of the solo from the Dream Theater song, Lines In The Sand.
This took me a few hours to record! It's been my favourite solo for a while, and finally I got around to learn it. I hope I made it justice (somewhat). Obviously cannot come close to the Master but I'm trying :D 🤘
