Holy Shit Flint, That is bad ass !

Nice idea, fine arrangement. Unfortunately the articulation isn't very clean and accuracy is questionable. It actually sounds like he gets lost a few times. Again, I like the arrangement but the execution definitely leaves something to be desired, especially because the bar has been set so high for Warr and Chapman type touch instruments.

i wish he walked when he played the walking part. Power to the bassists:P

:O (loose jaw)

Oh, crap. After 40 years, I guess I will just take my axes to curb. I thought I would be slick if I recorded an overdubbed version of this. Now this guy plays the shit live!

Is it a Warr guitar? I've been debating between saving up for one of those or a custom 8 string.

[robertheale]

Not a stick. A 14 string Bianco style guitar. Basically two 7 strings on the same neck built by luthier Bob Mason. Bianco was Flints' teacher and owns the original 14 string. Only two have ever been made.
