Very good man. It is not very complex, but it has a great feel to it. Do you have any experience with dimarzio pickups? I need to replace the stock pickups in my ibanez S5EX1 and am thinking about putting in either a crunch lab (petrucci signature pup) or a tone zone (supposedly used by Buckethead from 04-08). Im also thinking about a Gibson 500t which is in the buckethead signature guitar. BTW your prs pickups sound great. Im just not sure how they would sound in an ibanez.. Thanks, im subing.

[hamerac]

@partlyshady PS,

Try the Tone Zone & the Petrucci P/ups. Both are great. I am more of fan of Seymour Duncans. My HAMER, (Not PRS) has Duncans. A JB in the bridge one of the best bridge p/ups ever, & 59 int he neck. The magic combo in many guitars. Satch P/ups are very clean & hot & deliver great tone.Thanks for the comment. This music is almost 4 years old. My new stuff is really diverse. It promises to be my best work yet. It's still availbale for purchase online. Good luck with your p/ups.TC

[lordkalma]

Well you've definitely caught my ears Troy... over a year since i heard it 1st and im still here =]

[hamerac]

@lordkalma Thanks for coming back by & giving me a listen. Maybe I'll have some new stuff before too long. Rock on bro!

[SilverHamer]

Had to stop by and get me another dose of this cool anthem of yours, Troy! Awesome stuff, man! Keep on a gittin' it, bro! I wish Madisonville, KY and Houston, TX were closer together! If I ever get the chance to visit my daughter up in Louisville I will have to see if I can find that road to Madisonville while I'm up in that part of the country. :D

LC

[hamerac]

Amen to that LC. I'm sure your daughter would love to see you. Of course Louisville a good distance from M'Ville.

TC

[Hijinx59]

[hamerac]

Thanks friend. Someday, i'll get some new stuff up. But only when I feel it's what God puts on my heart! Rock on!

Troy

[olivier94austin]

Hahahah I love how you make the wha sound with your mouth just like me!!! I really can't help it. No matter what I just go whaaaa with my mouth! Hehe nice song and nice playing!! Rock on!

[hamerac]

Thanks man! The wah is definetly a part of the voice in this song, & in me as well quite often!

[westpoint64]

Troy, as I watch you, I marvel at your Gary Moore-like ability to express so much in a fast pentatonic/chromatic jumble of notes, then express so much with just one note. (What a player 'said' with just one note was what always impressed Leslie West). You have a formidable command of the fretboard and a good sense of melody- I notice these on everything of yours I've seen so far. You're a truly awesome player, and I enjoy your work, it's great.

[hamerac]

Wow, GARY MOORE is a name I have'nt heard in a while, but he is an early influence. from the 80s! "The Loner" is one of my fave by him. Thank you for listening & appreciating my music.

[brasilballer]

I love this. Great playing!

[hamerac]

Thanks for comment! Rock on!

[KillOrBeKilled66]

Seriously good stuff 5/5 :)

[hamerac]

Thanks for the support, & the cool comments!

Rock on!

[Rawk4Life]

You've been playing guitar for 20 years eh, did you ever play with any bands during that time? I don't see how you couldn't with all the experience you have.

[hamerac]

20 years next August. Yes, I've played with a couple! But not many! 2 Christian rock bands, & made a demo with one! Also played with a local band, & made a demo with them as well. Been teaching "Professionally" full time for 10 years now. And about 3 years ago I started this record, & released it last summer. Now I'm going to do my next one, & I know it will be better. Hopefully next one will be made with a real set of musicians instead of me doing all the work. Thanks for asking!

[Rawk4Life]

"Been teaching Professionally full time for 10 years now."

That leads me to another question. Are there guitarists in any well known Christian or secular bands today whom you personally taught how to play guitar?

[hamerac]

Not that I am aware of, but you never know! I have allot og great young player/prodigys coming up with me!

[StopBSing]

Amazing,hey MrJackGrayson is the one the introduced me to your talent,many thanks to him.

[MrJackGrayson]

Thanks for sharing this w/me Troy. I hadn't heard this one yet. Sometimes w/the many subscriptions that I have I do not always get a chance to hear all of the videos by each artists. I actually prefer when an artist will share w/me because I normally have a better chance at hearing more from an artist when they share than if I were to get around to returning to a channel frequently. Great video my friend...awesome skills...5 stars!!

Peace!!

[hamerac]

Thanks Jack! I'm glad I sent it out again then. I know that we can't watch all the videos we get sent or we would have to take weeks off of work to do so. So your support is truly appreciated! Thanks Troy

Hey Tony!! First I want to say that it is really great to see someone with such impeccable taste in guitars posting videos here! HAMERS RULE! I am still in the XT mode but I am looking to cross over to the USA mode in the near future. But anyways...this tune kicks serious buttocks! You have great chops and you make it look so easy, dude! I'm subscribing, buddy! Great work! LC
