[juanchoplazas]

[jasonlee221]

I have to agree with a previous comment, very nice taste in that it's not just shredding to be shredding, it's got a purpose and musical idea to it. Very nicely done.

[JANO66]

A jaja no es que según un amigo te conoce y pss pensé que eras de acá... Conoces a Manuel Gonzales Frau???

[pollin]

@JANO66 Jajajaja,el frau,si lo conoci aca en el DF

[JANO66]

Oye eres de celaya verdad? Donde estudiaste guitarra???

[pollin]

@JANO66 Jaja no no soy de celaya,por que crees eso?

Estudie todo por mi cuenta

[pollin]

Wow a year of this already!!!!!

[PVPlaya1392]

@pollin you're only getting better, man!

[DreamEclipse]

Which pickup do you use for leads? 81 (neck) or 89 (bridge)? Any coil tapping?

[pollin]

@DreamEclipse Exactly,think i use those i dont remember,but they are the stock ones of the Schecter,I Use Coil tapping a lot,it al depeds on the context of the playing!!

Thanks!! Rock on!

[monicasmix]

You´re the best!!!!

:-)

Monica

[elunicoprofeta]

[alittlelostRed]

Very impressive. Not only your great technique, but also an fascinating idea for the music - it's not just mindless shredding, but playing with feeling. It's very catchy too. Keep up rocking!

Hey Alex te queria preguntar si esa guitarra que estas usando es bastante liviana pq pienso comprarme una schecter c-1 FR ya que no soy muy amantes a las ibanez por favor tan pronto puedas me dejas saber

[pollin]

Hey que hay,pues la guitarra si es Pesada,Aunqu es una guitarra mas que excelente,lo trae todo,Todo lo que viene compensa su peso,comprala!!

Estamos en contacto

Alex

[volcomkid2591]

jajajaj ps dale grax por eso :)

[jdmimport13]

Dude you should have won the Backing track contest dude. I saw that alot of other people thought so as well. I saw your video and immediatly thought that you did the perfect arrangement but couldn't beleive what #2 and #1 sounded like. You were the only one that actually made a song out of the backing track instead of playing a long ass solo. Great job dude. Ive been playing guitar for almost as many years you are old. Take the right path in life and it will pay off for you I promise dude.

[pollin]

Wow thanks a lot!! Im really glad you liked it!! I dont like to make just shredding ultra complex solos,i Actually like to Make Smalls songs,songs that someone can listen again and again without getting too bored,thats what i like about music!! Stay in contact My Friend!!

Best Regards

Alex B
