Lesley Gore, anyone?

Ok, this is gonna be corny to the younger folks here.

I did an instrumental version of the Lesley Gore tune "you Don't Own Me".

Quincy Jones did the original studio production and IMO, his work was on par with any of Phil Spectre's masterpieces like "Be my Baby" by the Ronettes.

The middle solo section is my version of the cool string section solo that the original had.

I was trying to go for a pedal steel type feel in my playing.

Hey, It's My Party and I'll Play if I Want To. Nice work, I liked the more overdriven sound about three verses in. Very Gatton-esque, i.e. "In My Room". You might try adding descending bends in harmony to some of those upward string bends, and don't be afraid to alter some of those rythym chords by adding a 9th and some suspendeds here and there. Change the focus from the lead line to the rythym guitar and then back again with some impossible steel bends (impossible without multi-tracking, I mean).

Those are some cool ideas, thanks, I'll mess around with it some more.
