Carl Roa, definitely added to my TOP 10 guitar heros !!!!!!! Of course it's a Les Paul, but who cares, put anything into this guys hands, Suhr, Gibson, anything, and he makes MAGIC!!!!
@HrachGHovsepyan - Yes, big time - You can hear a LOT of Steve Morse in his compositions, and even his tone sounds a lot like Morse too... Not that that's a bad thing, but sometimes, it's almost a bit TOO Morse!
I really love this guy's playing. I myself am quite a good player and have been playing for nearly 30 years and I still find a ton of stuff I can learn from this guy. Just bought the bundle at his website. Can't wait.
Man, every time I try to play like that, I just end up flipping myself off in rapid succession!! Real nice playing and I agree with madchemist5926, "beautiful and nasty at the same time".
this is pretty close to what I'm trying to do with guitar but the tone isn't what i want on the shred parts only on the long bends and vibrato. if you took away the backing would it sound as jazzy though?
When the key changed, it looks like he wanted to change modes, going from a major scale (over a I to VI) to a minor pentatonic blues scale. That and the key change combined kinda catches your attention.
When the key change came in, I was like 'Wrong Note?', but then I was like, 'Nah, shame on me for thinking this guy would hit a wrong note like that'.
More info about the release of the DVD will be posted soon on my website! The DVD focuses in on lead guitar playing including: phrasing, playing over the primary chord types, voice leading and more ... Thanks for the interest! -Carl
Wow, extremely musical solo! Great sound! Nice! You guys should check out Carl's band, MAGIC ELF, killer progressive rock fusion! Very cool stuff! Thanks Carl, keep it coming!
What an awesome tone!!!!
