[Mr4000killer]

love the Satriani moves:) greetings from Roskilde Denmark

[lauriemonk]

Just checking this one again. I like the end solo alot.

[guitarnoize]

@lauriemonk thanks Laurie!

[voltaspeeder17]

Your playing is just amazing. I can't stop listening to this! :)

[AlexArnoldsson]

This is just amazing , really like your tone , great work man !

[MrShkiperov]

So nice. Really like it.

[TURQTELE]

As usual great playing and great tone, really great whammy moves! Did you just start using Amplitube? I remember reading a post where you were thinking about selling all your gear! One suggestion...pimp out those headphones with some bling or something!

[guitarnoize]

@TURQTELE I've been using Amplitube 3 since it was released, love it but would never sell my gear I think I was tempted to switch to Axe-FX but its just too expensive. I've had these Sennheiser HD 25 SP headphones for over 10 years now, they're amazing maybe I'll put a little sticker on them for you :)

[Arthuur20]

I passed a magic moment to listening this. Really fantastic entry, good luck ;)

[guitarnoize]

@Arthuur20 thank you, you're very kind

[ikmultimedia]

Well done! Thanks for using AmpliTube 3. Great tone and playing.

[guitarnoize]

@ikmultimedia thanks, hard to get a bad tone from Amplitube 3 it's awesome

[leercha]

Awesome mate!!! very melodic. really good work!!!

[guitarguy974]

sweet whammy and lagatos man sounded a bit like satchs flying in a blue dream

[albooher1]

That was very impressive....loved the attitude in the phrasing, and the whammy technique is very well versed....

Great entry!!! This is the kind of inspiriation I wake up in the mornings for!!

[tertnesen]

Very nice entry :) You certainly do no shame to satriani and vai here, with your own touch off course :) Good luck!

[lauriemonk]

Man really cool solo! Well done!!

[METALHQ]

dude that was amazing, really nice work

[guitarnoize]

@METALHQ and thank you too, jeez all this praise is going to go to my head lol!

[The201273]

Awesome Jon! Love the intro and all the Vai/Satch stuff! Great to listen to!

[guitarnoize]

@The201273 thank you :)

[neo69hk]

Could you please tell me how do you solve the nosie gate problems when use high gain ~?could you please check out my video and give me some suggestion?thank you very much

[guitarnoize]

@neo69hk I didn't really have the gain set too high, I had Amplitube 3 set up with the input level halfway and the master about 2/3, an Overscream pedal with drive almost 0, level at 3 o'clock, tone 1 o'clock, Metal Lead W amp gain on 6, vol 5

[ledzepplingood]

Awesome harmonics, tone, and use of the whammy bar! You've got soul sir. Also, thanks for the strings! :) Good luck brotha. Check my entry if you get a chance...

[312chicagoadam]

Phenomenal approach and execution...I hear Vai in there! Brilliant use of the trem bar, without going overboard,,,not easy to do, but you did it masterfully!

[guitarnoize]

@312chicagoadam thank you very much :)

[guitarnoize]

@MasterGuitarKid I didn't realise but I have updated it now :)

[11thPassenger]

What an awesome entry!

There goes my hope for the moment haha better start practicing for the next couple years, well done, I really liked this.

[guitarnoize]

@baseballnolie34 How could it be in a bad way? I'd love to sound like Vai haha, thanks :)

[baseballnolie34]

Actually sounded very Vai-ish to me, but in a good way! Not so much Satriani...

[infernalgr]

nice one mate!

[NailedSolo]

Satriani's soul was inside of you for 2 minutes 

[guitarnoize]

@NailedSolo Satch has always been my biggest influence so I'm chuffed to get a comment like that thank you

[MilanPolak]

beautiful entry, I especially like the Jeff Beck like phrase in the beginning! Thanks a lot for joining Jon!

[guitarnoize]

@MilanPolak thanks Milan, I don't have speed so I turned to the almighty whammy for guidance :D

[MilanPolak]
