I don't think it's embarrassing at all, actually. Really reminds me of Richard Wright's keyboard work with Pink Floyd, and would not have been out of place on "Wish You Were Here". Could have used a thicker sound, like the one he used on "Run Like Hell" or something similar.
Hei I've seen this post only today (THIS is embarrassing LOL :)

andreas_mercury: no it's not MIDI. I play synthesizers. The whole thing (the string part and the solo) has been performed by me by "ear" (I don't know the correct term in english... I didn't read the score or the chords).

inu-liger: thank you for your comment! Richard Wright, wow LOL :) This make me really happy :D
