[gamezonex2]

@jemdave13 i think you like jazz, maybe im wrong, but a lot of phrases sound like a little bit of jazz

[1killahead]

My god....That's some tasty phrasing dude...Kickass !!

[DistortedV12]

Sounds like an epic outro.

[Vassy97]

@WillXS01 Thank you very much :)

[epicvsfvror]

u are the winner, in my personal opinion....

[jemdave13]

@epicvsfvror You will have me attacked by lots of angry guitar fans ;) I think Martin and Leonardo deserved to beat me, they are much more technical I think, whereas I just do a little bit here and there but mainly just straight ahead rock solo. Thank you though, It is really nice to know some people liked this solo :)

[epicvsfvror]

@jemdave13 more technical? And who said that technical sounds better? ;-)

[epicvsfvror]

Simply unbelieveable! You're such a fantastic player and your tone is AMAZING!!!

[jemdave13]

@epicvsfvror Cheers man, glad you liked it! Thanks for commenting too, I really appreciate it :)

[KabukiGallery]

[RapIsDeadly]

OK..this just proves that a person CAN play the guitar with fat fingers. No excuses!

[jemdave13]

@RapIsDeadly Thanks ;) I think ;)

[RapIsDeadly]

@jemdave13

Lol...no I play the keyboards. I bought a electric guitar just to learn how to play. I have thick fingers myself. I gave up trying. I couldn't bend my fingers into the proper chord position w/o hitting two strings. I guess my comment was to myself! lol

[strawyalan]

What a sound!

It makes me feel like i want to buy a strato

Veeery colourfull solo.

i simply loved it
