Lead guitar track.
Process
Was toying with urmymuse's guitar stems. Managed to record a decent sounding lead guitar part for the chorus (which is what you hear in the track) but after that I couldn't work out an opening guitar melody. So I headed over to Freesound.org for ideas. Found hanstimm's "This is a strange town" spoken Japanese recording and things just fell into place from there.
Other Notes
Spent 3 hours getting the lead guitar track right. It was worth it.
