    The two rhythm backing tracks beginning at 2:23 and 3:18 are just outstanding songwriting sooo celestial. I mean, people forget that as good a shredder as Jeff is, his rhythm riffage is as good if not better! Outstanding!

    I would guess it's the one starting around 2:28, due to the reduced "diminishedness" =), but then again he seems to pretty much hold back on that in this song overall. Damn, I can't wait for this Album to hit the stores. This will be a good year for guitar with a new Jeff Loomis, Paul Wardingham and most probably a Steve Vai album, too.
