It's very difficult to transition from un-related keys, and this track pulls it off on several levels.

This guitar instrumental is built on a solid guitar hook, that's actually played two ways throughout the track. The riff itself is 11/16 time, and it flows into a bridge that's 4/4 time. Taking a lesson from the legendary Rush on that one for sure.. The track's solo (about mid-track) was played twice, one version in each speaker. This gives it an almost early Ozzy effect and tone.
