Daves 1959 Les Paul reissue Composition to a backing track called Reflections

[sngncwby]

Sounds like Eric Johnson

[ebealienhead]

@sngncwby Thanks very much! Now thats a compliment!

[mysteryloser24]

Just awesome, like all your work, naturally. :) God, I'd sure love a Gibson... Maybe one day... Until then, I've got a B.C Rich Warlock. :)

[ebealienhead]

@mysteryloser24 Thanks very much! 

[mysteryloser24]

@ebealienhead You're more than welcome. :) Your Pink Floyd Style Jam is the best in my opinion, but this easily comes second. ^^

[ebealienhead]

@mysteryloser24 I love the tone in this one...

[TheStress61]

très beau morceau , merci :)

[ebealienhead]

@TheStress61 Thanks very much!

[DreidMusicalX2]

Hey man just had to stop by while I had some time Dave. I love the instrumentals you do man. You know I think instrumentals speak louder then words in the music and it makes it hard for bad someones bad written lyrics to mess them up? lol! One thing I have never asked you though. Where did you learn to play? Someone teach you or did you just pick up by ear?

[ebealienhead]

@DreidMusicalX2 Thanks very much Dave! I took lessons early on as a kid but got bored learning to read and later just asked my teacher toshow me songs. Soon after, I was able to pick them by ear, so I stopped lessonsand just learned from records and friends who also played...

[kingv911]

Do you like your 2120? I was thinking of picking up a used one locally. I've read they're pretty versatile. Any thoughts on its ease of use as well would be appreciated!

[ebealienhead]

@kingv911 I LOVE it...very easy to use, and has tons of presets that can also be customized,

[kingv911]

@ebealienhead Thanks for the response. I actually ended up buying a Digitech GSP1101 with the Control 2 switchboard - so far the thing is great. I started using it for direct PC recording last week with the USB Out on it, super easy. The digital amp and cabinet models it has are pretty accurate and genuine sounding.

[ebealienhead]

@kingv911 Very cool! i looked into the GSP1101 as well in case the 2120 ever went down. It looks easier to use than mine actually. Congrats and enjoy it!

[wogan1962]

Superbly conceived and executed - but maybe you need to think about some AirCon to go with all the kit?

[ebealienhead]

@wogan1962 Thanks very much! AC would awesome...

[firefighter5278]

Ahhh,a beautiful Sunday morning,jamming along with Daves wonderful music...Thanks for keeping me company all these years man!Five stars as always...

[ebealienhead]

@firefighter5278 Thanks very much! I appreciate it! Thanks for watching all these years! More to come!

[renagade12]

man that hit me man!

[ebealienhead]

@renagade12 Thank you!

[chuckbuntz]

[ebealienhead]

@chuckbuntz Thanks so much! This beautiful guitar just sings to me..

[dmedicFF]

Beautiful as usual Dave. The wah is awesome and adds just the right touch to the tone.

Gearhead question: whiich LP is this?....trying to see what is written on the truss rod cover.....

[ebealienhead]

@dmedicFF Thanks so much! I love the wah as well, just the right amount of spice!

This guitar is a 59 reissue (model year 2000) The truss cover is customized, named for a lady friend of mine.

[dmedicFF]

@ebealienhead Awesome!

[Goosey853]

Hey dave, is it bad that i wish you had another video up already ! I love listening dude, your melody's are so amazing i always walk away with them in my head ! And your solos are like you played them for years !!! If theres shit on the radio, (which there is a lot of now) i'll have you playing on my iphone haha.

Also, do you watch ufo hunters ? And on aug 28. 2010, they say that mars will be 1/3 the size of the moon .... not sure if its true but we'll find out . Take care dave !

[ebealienhead]

@Goosey853 Thanks very much! More to come soon!

And yes, I watch UFO Hunters! Love it!

[g4greg2u]

I've watched some covers you did a while ago, and I was impressed by your taste and skills back then.

But dude, you NEED to do more originals :) This sounded perfect in every way... You can sure make that bad boy wail and scream like there's no tomorrow!

Think about me if one day you leave some room for vocals ;)

[ebealienhead]

@g4greg2u Thanks very much! I need to get some kind of home recording unit so I can do more stuff on my own.

[ebealienhead]

@bryanoverturf1 Thanks very much man! I try!

[basicband]

Really cool beginning...and even cooler jammin'...our guitar has the Bad Horsie!! Love this.

[ebealienhead]

@basicband Thanks very much for watching!

[marywinmusic]

Dave I missed your tone! Listening to you play is like tasting peaches that grew in perfect conditions. You get the winds, rain and sun rays of guitar aligned to such excellence that your listener is left a little mystified ;) well I'm always mystified but you know what I mean =) what a morning treat. warm regards, Mary

[ebealienhead]

@marywinmusic Thanks so much Mary! You have such a way with words!

More peaches on the way!

Looking forward to your next post!

[ozzlayer]

I love it.

[ebealienhead]

@ozzlayer Thanks much!

[Danthehorse]

[popstotexas]

Came back for another listen - great playing Dave!

[ebealienhead]

Now that is true class.

[ebealienhead]

@ztbsk8er I'm very flatterd by the comments I get. I feel if people take the time to write than I must make the time to respond. Simple respect. Thanks for writing!

[ebealienhead]

[ebealienhead]

@OzzyGuy666 Thanks much Jon! Glad to have this one behind me, it was very hot trying to capture it, lol...

Great tune Dave, love your style full of feel like it should be. 

[ebealienhead]

@VelezBiH Thank you, glad you liked it!

[tepes22b]

The single dislike must have been a mis-click

[ebealienhead]

@tepes22b I'd like to think so, lol...

[RSdarkknigth13]

Dave, my friend, you have... just kicked Slash's ASS!

[ebealienhead]

Love your playing!

[ebealienhead]

@lonlonjp Thank you! I appreciate it!

[DreidMusicalX2]

I love it man! Great playing also! Did you create the backing track as well? I find that to be the hardest part in my music I write is those damn drum tracks to make! lol! Its would so much easier to just find a great drummer that can lay them down and record them while writing the songs.

[ebealienhead]

@DreidMusicalX2 Thanks man! the backing came from freshbt...

I would like to some create my own...

[ztbsk8er]

You are a great guitarist man... Always a pleasure to watch your videos.

[ebealienhead]

@ztbsk8er Thanks so much for watching! Glad yo liked it!

[DrumGuitarist1379]

Another awesome video! man I love your style of playing. Great tone too! Is the backing track from guitarBT?

[ebealienhead]

@DrumGuitarist1379 Thanks very much! I think it was freshbt.com

[MeltedProphet71]

Beautiful Dave. Tone for day.

[ebealienhead]

@MeltedProphet71 Thank you!

[PDXguitarfreak]

Wow Dave, tasty playing as always - your note choices and phrasing is impeccable. You know when to lay back and when to let it rip! Wooo!

[ebealienhead]

@PDXguitarfreak Thanks much Dave...Coming from a seasoned

burner like you that means alot!

[ghirapi]

I love it. GREAT Dave

[ebealienhead]

[mulleygraves]

ungodly amazing, how'd you learn to improv? did it just get better and better after years of dicking around?

[ebealienhead]

@mulleygraves thanks very much! Yes, years of noodling...

[kesx]

Dude! You're the first person Ive seen do a pick slide like I do...using the side of your hand instead of the pick(guess its not really called a pick slide then huh?), anyway awesome playing and feel dude!

[ebealienhead]

@kesx Actually its the ring on my little finger...very metalic sound on the strings...

better than a pick in my opinion.

[hungrysparrow]

Sweet playing! Yeah that last image is rather humbling indeed.

[ebealienhead]

@hungrysparrow Thank you..yes, puts things in perspective...

[stratocasterbob]

The LesPaul sounds sweet Dave ! Cool Jam !

[ebealienhead]

It was humid as hell and I made MANY mistakes before being satisfied with this take..thanks for watching!

[2usename]

[beano1eye]

very dreamy ambiance to that track, love the LP, I've been looking for one for about 3 months now I just can't seem to find one, used LP customs are not in abundance down under, fingers crossed!

[ebealienhead]

@beano1eye Thanks very much! I like how this turned out..Good luck on your Les Paul search. You'll know when the right one comes along. I searched Ebay for 6 months before laying eyes on this beauty!

[SIXSTRING63]

Skokin' Dave ! reminds me of Neal Schon meets Joe Satriani . I've been playing a new Les Paul I got recently a whole lot and digging the tone.

[ebealienhead]

@SIXSTRING63 Thanks dude! @ of my favorite players! I'm flattered as hell!

I'll be right over to check it out!

[RobinStrower]

[ebealienhead]

@moleman1961 Thanks very much! I tried to use my SG Special Faded but

[roytek444]
