Sounds great. To what extent is the backing track derived from sampled instruments?
And I like your reasoning for doing 'note for note' covers very much.
The picked electric bass is real. The tremelo electric guitar, and the accent electric guitar that plays along with the piano line at the end of each phrase is also real. The ride cymbal, cello, piano, organ, violin, and viola, are all virtual instruments. The strings and "glockenspiel" are from Miroslav Philharmonik, the piano is Akoustik Piano, the organ is a Sampletank instrument, and the cymbal comes from BFD lite.
