[777RAD777]

MOTHER OF BALLS.  clean shredding mate!

[TheDanceofjoy]

[fluffypig44]

will u marry me? i love u

[flowerdrop1]

Have you tried Suhr's? which do you like better?

[steviesspankin]

@flowerdrop1, I haven't tried a Suhr but from what I've read they are a fine instrument. The Tom Anderson has the fastest neck of any guitar I've ever played. They are an incredibly well made instrument - I highly recommend one.

Mine was made 12-8-89.

[flowerdrop1]

@steviesspankin you're smoking fast, thats for sure. what makes it so fast?

[99voltsdotcom]

damn! superb ripping. kotzen stuff? takes some serious playing to back up the video title...you actually understated it.

[MrAxetom]

Holy Shitttttt! Say man, can you repost and slow down the tap runs you were doing? It would be a great tutorial for the rest of us!!!! Love your playin', please post more!

[EPO65]

Shredding as it should be. me like.

[katseazzz]

great playing great guitar!!!

[adisharr]

That's it, I quit ;)

[jemesp]

I just bought a hollow Cobra and a solid body cobra. Thes guitars are a step above all others. The tone is insane. I have a bid on a drop top KOA top as well.  CAN'T WAIT!

[martinlutherkingIII]

just bought a hollow t and it is by far the best guitar I've ever owned. Very smooth necks and looks killer. The tone is awesome as well, and man you shredded the shit out of it hahaha very clean and outstanding playing.

[daveisgr81]

I've had my Tom Anderson half a year now and it is by far the most awesome piece of kit i own. What amp do you use with it? Awesome vid btw.

[steviesspankin]

In this vid I was using a little Fender practise amp on lead channel. My main rig back then was a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier 100 watt head to a Marshall quad box loaded with Celestion G1275's.

These days I'm using a Marshall Vintage Modern combo 2x12.

[daveisgr81]

What's your thoughts on Mesa Boogie 5 50's with tom anderson's?

[steviesspankin]

Mesa/Tom combination = awesome clean sounds.

Mesa make great amps there is no doubt... and I'm really favouring 50 watt amps these days because they can be driven harder getting power tube 'tone' happening.

I've owned a Studio 22 in the past with same power tubes as the Express 550 - EL84s - and it was great.

[jemesp]

Holy Shizznit!! NICE! Very clean shredding

Dude. can i ask of you a huge favor, Can you tutour me? i'm a fast learner, and your skills are amazing, i want to be able to shred like you. I need to learn more shapes, good finger excersises. ANd all around diversity in my technique. Just msg me back, or comment me. If you want to or not ( if so, i can imagine we would chat via msn ) your an inspiration. thanks. bye

[diegopedrette13]

very cool

[johnjohnjohn222]

you got a tab to the tapping section? that was awesome

[steviesspankin]

i'm kind of improvising...

About the tapping section: think of your tapping finger as an extra finger you have on your fretting hand... use your tapping finger like an extra finger stretching to a higher note in the scale... it will only ever be a whole tone or half tone away from the last note fretted... does that make sense?

Also: when i tap i also pull off at the same time... so its not tap, tap, tap... it's tap, pull-off, tap, pull-off, tap pull-off.

I hope that helps you

cheers steve

[DelightfulSpleen]

"trying to cover as much of the fretboard as possible ... "

[steviesspankin]

the opening lick is a 'major 7' arpeggio... all the runs are modal.... and a few 'major' sweeps:)

[Klastek]

Yeahn the beginning lick is great, sounds like a Michael Angelo one ^^

[steviesspankin]
