yeah, this is probably coming to a close without those guitar theatrics, after all.
i'm torn between stopping and noodling over the end part and leaning very heavily towards stopping.
it's just that i want to maintain the sombre, reflective quality of the section as an end to the piece, and ultimately a transition into the next track. it does get a little more busy at the end as it fades out, but all i'm going to accomplish by putting an electric guitar in there is to saturate the track.
i haven't decided entirely. i'm going to make some spaghetti and come back. but i think this version is done...
what i did instead is run a guitar through a synthesizer, and then shift it over a few octaves. that makes it sound a little like a trumpet.
