05Ric - Touch Guitars® U8 Demo

My first go at recording the U8. The piece is a GH05 one that I am working on (so yes that is Gavin driving the groove). There is not very much touchstyle playing in this one as that is a work in progress :) .... Just getting used to the new tuning (in 5th's)/scale length/string spacing (that of a guitar, makes slapping a challenge), but I am very much digging the sound. Kudos to Markus, Ed and Renee for making such a beautiful, versatile instrument. For more information about the Touch Guitars® U8 goto:

Hey, just wondered if you ever check your youtube inbox and reply to those messages? I sent you a message months ago and never heard back...

Thanks

@robdrums69 Hello Rob,

admittedly, I don't spend lot's of time here (I check about once a month). The best place to write to me is my facebook page.

At the moment I am spending much of my time completing the next album with Gavin. Once that is done I will breath :) and then decide what's next.

Cheers

Oh my god, this is amazing! Is this part of a recording that is being released?

[05ric]

@NostalgicProcrast Thanks for the kind words :) Parts of this will be on the new album with Gavin.

Cheers

05- I am having the good fortune of studying with Trey Gunn here in Seattle.... he encouraged me to tune the melody side of the STICK in 5ths... I did, and I have not looked back! Your playing is really fine!

This video sounds a HELL of a lot better than it looks.

somebody likes holdsworth :) great playing!

[psychopsylopato]

I just love Your musical sensivity. Thank you

[musicman9901]

the song reminds me a lot of meshuggah, during fredriks solo's but with even more holdsworth influence.
