This rules hard. You have some GREAT vibrato, which a LOT of people overlook. It sings.

[by0nd]

Nice job as always Chris! You have smoke rolling of the fret board lol. I love the Glisadi/Sliding mixed with the tapping at 47 sec. You synched it up with the rhythem of the backingtrack very nicely.

[Chrisleftyguitar]

Nice Chris, great tone! I like the tapping stuff, wish I could do that! Are you tapping pentatonic shapes here? Thanks, Kirk

[Chrisleftyguitar]

@tulsa9999 hey man thanks! yes, 99% of all my tapping is pentatonic shapes hehe. there's no science on my playing at all LOL if i can do it you can do it too man nothing is impossible or too hard if you put your mind to it :)

[zombiegreencard]

@Chrisleftyguitar you just inspired me to pick my guitar up ( i just finished using it) :)

[Chrisleftyguitar]

@zombiegreencard awesome man!! :)

[kbone921]

Dude, if you dont mind me asking, what kind of guitar is that? Awesome entry! Love your style. Good luck.

[Chrisleftyguitar]

@kbone921 hey thanks a lot! my guitar is a Douglas Spad, very cheap but really cool guitar lol :)

[SoftShredding]

Hey man thanks for your entry! Goodluck!

[Chrisleftyguitar]

@SoftShredding thanks

[CoreThrasherGLB]

I admit this isn't the best backing track in the world they provided us, i like your tone!

[Chrisleftyguitar]

@CoreThrasherGLB thanks! it was hard to make something out of it without being too much and without any melody, i would've gone more melodic and with more sense but the backing track was not like that, still, it's a cool track so it was fun to jam with it

[CoreThrasherGLB]

@Chrisleftyguitar True :) But yea i'd have to agree the chord progression doesn't seem very special for expanding musical theory on.

[DsantineLdylan]

fuck yeah it's very nice !

greetings from France ;)

[Chrisleftyguitar]

@DsantineLdylan hey thanks man!!

[eversonmaggot]

cool man, great job, good luck
