@OwdTimer Thanks for stopping by and checking my video out. I'm glad you enjoyed it. How do you know my mom? Did she coach you or something? Anyway, have a great day and thanks for the support. I appreciate it. Cheers....
@Soupatmendys Wow. What a great comment. I only wish I had the chops that Paul and Joe have. Thanks for the support and for stopping by to watch my video. Have a great day and a Happy New Year. Cheers and SHRED ON!!!!
@benitheg Hey thanks.... There's a few spots in the song that I still need to practice. I tend to write stuff that's very difficult so I have something to practice and improve on. I don't want to disappoint anyone, so I'm going to take my time and keep practicing before I do the whole song. I want to make sure it's perfect. :) Anyway, have a great day and a Happy New Year. Shred on!!! Cheers...
@shmaltz Hey... thanks for watching and for posting a comment. Anyway, there isn't really any secret to becoming good at something. Just practice practice practice. I like to tell my students that practice doesn't make perfect, but perfect practice makes perfect. If you practice mistakes all the time you get good at mistakes. Focus on your technique and executing the licks flawlessly at a slower tempo and speed will follow. I've been sweeping for a long time, so...
@shmaltz it's become easier for me to do well. I still need to improve as I'd love to record a cd someday, but still feel I have to improve more and more to pull off the stuff I write. :) Don't just practice without paying attention to what you are doing. 1 hour of focused practice is better than 5 hours of noodling with no focus. Anyway, hope this helps. Have a great day and Happy New Year. Shred on!!! Cheers....
Great looking guitar. Very tasty playing. I like the song, very melodic. I would really like to know more about the guitar. Body wood? Neck wood? Bolt on? Fret board wood? Fret size? Scalloped? Bridge? PUs?
@Soupatmendys This guitar is killer. Anyway, the body is alder with a flamed maple top. The entire neck is flamed maple including fingerboard and it is a bolt on. Jumbo frets and fully scalloped. As for the bridge it's a Schaller Hannes bridge which is a fixed brige and the pickups are Guitarheads mini rails similar to the Seymour Duncan hotrails but better in my opinion. Anyway, I came up with the design of the guitar and Dean Cascione of DC Custom Guitars built it for me.
@Soupatmendys Dean does amazing work. I have 4 DC Custom Guitars now. They are World class guitars. Anyway, thanks for the kind words about my playing. I appreciate the support a lot. It's great to know that there are a lot of people out there still that love good old fashion Neo-Classical shredding. Have a great day and a Happy New Year. Shred on!!! Cheers....
@megaluisdeth Thanks. I'm loving the support. You guys ROCK!!! I'm glad you like the guitar. It's the most amazing shred machine ever. Dean Cascione builds the best guitars around and he's an awesome player himself. You should check him out. The video doesn't do that guitar justice as the lighting isn't very good in my basement. I'll try to get some videos of me with that guitar with much better lighting. Anyway, Happy Holidays. Have a great day. Cheers...

@Jdufore19 Thanks for the support. I appreciate it. I'm working hard on it, so once I get it mastered I'll do a full length video. Happy Holidays. Have a great day. CHEERS!!!

Wow, amazing as usual, any advice on learning that flawless sweeping and alternate picking technique you have going on there?
