Recording and GarageBand project data available

I've just uploaded a link to my 3-part recording of this tune, as well as the GarageBand project file in case anyone is interested in how this recording was made.

Because of the way I play this song, sort of a marathon through the head and all three solos in one track, it kind of simplifies the other two tracks in a way that is not at all faithful to the original recording. Even in these simplified harmony tracks I'm able to find plenty of new ways to clam them up. I find the sections where counting nearly three bars of rests without a drummer to be quite a challenge. This is why there are a few trainwrecks and lots of fender benders. I need to get better at counting!

No editing was done, just the guitar, straight into GarageBand, and no effects. The effects are fun to play with, and I'm sure that it is possible to make the recording sound much better, but I haven't learned how to do this. I'm too busy trying to learn how to play the electric guitar!
