[decafmeplease]

Love the 'wailing' sound - so mystical!

[velcrofiend]

fantastic!!

am practicing using the ebow, but every time i try, it sounds like my cat is in labor....

[klaywomen]

Hi infiltrater8. Rosli is using an ebow (electronic bow) to get the sound you hear in the video.

[MamanTeachersPet]

[MitchTenderness]

[logic2face]

[333baxter333]

Pure class!! Fantastic performance

[SJMProductions101116]

what is that thing??? is it like a pick?

[klaywomen]

Hi there. Rosli used an ebow to produce the unique sound on the fretless guitar.

[ibanezmk1]

that is straight up sick. i've been looking for a vid with somebody playing a fretless like a stringed instrument rather than a guitar. i'm building a fnder strat(i'll post a vid) and i wanted to see what a fretless guitar would do. i wondered if it would lose its attack but it sounds wicked. your bands tight peace.

[mulderxyz]

he made a guitar sound just like an ehru. Cool.

[akhridin]

its not just the fretless, most of it's from ebow

[AdrenalineArmy]

Sounds dark and has that middle eastern feel... way cool! More FRETLESS!

[dcvredesbyrd]

Great work. very unique stuff and great song to boot.

[seith]

yeah! fretless music that tickles you in the mind where others cant

[XBreD]

FRETLESS!!! its very interesting in the way you wrote this song! first we have that ancient eastern feel, to the upbeat heavy rock feel!! amazing!!!!but so much control you have!i can imagine that its pretty hard to gain alot of control from a fretless! kinda tempting for me to pick it up!!! wooo!!!! looking forward to the next album !!! MORE!

[ironf]

Powerpack la!

[odcan69]

well done!rock on!

[myipodispink]

[9oh9x]

[9oh9x]

[nahbest]

smooth as velvet man yet full of sophistication and energy at the same time man

[polnareff13]

Man.. Steve Vai's "Whispering A Prayer" came to mind when I first heard this. I think this is gonna be one of my favourite songs in your next album. Way to go Rosli!

Rosli the man! You sure can work some magic producing very mystical wah with really catchy rhythm. Then there are elements of a 70s disco twang in between, very interesting, and all with your custom fretless with The Beatles motif! When is your next album coming out?
