<insert general statement of "long-time listener, first-time caller"-type sentiment>

This is a very rough first attempt at a piece for these vaunted halls. It is an arrangement of race music from Slalom for acoustic guitar, and the portion here (0:59 in length) is the main theme for the piece. Please forgive the amateurish editing and processing, as I'm still feeling these bits out.

I apologize for the lack of updates on this. Transcription is a bitch. There is still a bit of polish to put on, and I may do a few more takes based on initial reaction.

Herewith is the first draft of the completed work. It may be found at: http://www.savefile.com/files/1687748

A few liner notes for the (dis)interested:

Running Time: 4:10

Original Piece (Race Music) by Dave Wise

Arrangement by Derek Deren

Any and all critique is welcome. Again, I'm new at this, so anything I can get to improve recording/mixing technique would be greatly appreciated.

The intro is a lot slower now and not a lot happens in it. A slow intro is excusable when you've got a nice chord or beat to listen to, this one's a little boring. It lasts two minutes before the song starts going and doesn't add anything.

I like everything after the intro. Again, beautiful chords.
