Good job man. Nice tone and good phrasing. I would only add that a little more space (silent) will cause the listener to enguage more. One thing I do is never play a phrase longer than you can physically yalk with out taking a breath. Let your axe breath a little. Not being critical here. I liked it and your good. One other thing that would enhance your sense of stride is to play both in front and behind a little bit to add tension/resolve. Wish we lived close to each other so we could jam :)

i love this, dude! So smooth. I just bought this guitar also! Can't wait to fully break it in - the intonation needs tweaked a bit first, but other than that it sounded great right out of the box.
hey awesome playing, great improv skills and that sound :O. I just recently recorded a cover of this song in the studio, would be great if you could check it out and give me some feedback, cheers.
So how bout those tabs man?...Or a how to video?? This was the best damn cover ever, i swear! I have to learn it. I kind of got some of it. But most the of the time your fingers are out of view =/
little help? =) Thanks bro, your a badass guitarist!!!!!!
Hey buddy - great work. I just ordered that guitar I'll be getting it this week and can't wait. Coupla questions if u got the time.. What equipment r u using to get the most out of that tone you have? Also, I'm not a bad player, but I really wanna advance in that same style u excel in. So what advice can you offer if I'm looking to develop the kind of improv technique u have. I realise that question is broad, but I'd be grateful for your direction! What to study, how to model it etc...Cheers
@chaos4316 Thanks, I was playing through a hot rod deluxe amp using a boss looping pedal. I set the reverb to about 3. the bass at about 6/7 and treble/mid to 5. i use the rhythm pickup and put the tone to about 6/7 gives it a smoother tone. basically just listen to artists that you like and learn their songs/licks. for example listen to this song on where the light is and learn all the solo parts that john plays and use that when you play other songs. a good ear will help. good luck
you should have just taken this and called it your own song, man its good ! I love that tone... Man what you can get from a strat .. It's crazy :P Reverb and a bit of gain right?
DUDE!! WOW great tone, but more than anything great feel!! Ur a monster. Real subtle, but perfectly places notes. The phrasing is good too... If u want to hear a guy that really knows how to build a solo listen to Derek Trucks. Or old Allman Brothers with Duane Allman.
When I started watching this, it was by mere accident.
I was just about to go back when I actually started to listen and realized that what you were playing sounded beautiful. With my deepest sincerity I wish to say: Bravo! Great job.
i'll say it again... totally awesome dude. I swear to god if i heard this in just audio... i'd bet it was John Mayer lol the tone's on point and so are the licks. very fucking awesome.
Very John Mayer-esque. I was hoping that you would drop into the actual riff at some point and jammed with it for a good while, but I really like your improv.
Wow, you are absolutely terrific, you almost have a Stevie Ray Vaughn type of style.
