(((PLEASE WATCH IN HIGH-QUALITY!)))
That's the only way the video will look nice and the sound will be greatly improved as well.

Ahhh...Where to start?

So if you like the heavy parts lean left, and if you like clean guitar lean right...TOWARDS YOUR SPEAKERS! :)

I also worked real hard on the music to make it a piece of music and not just unbridled guitar-man-ship going off the cuff. I am a writer, not an improviser...like Angus Young with his well-written solos. Joe Satriani of course prefers a strong melody too. I knew there was a good reason why I love his playing.
I seldom just wank exercises in preference to making music and that's why by the time I record a song, I can tab the solo note for note. Not that I want to sit there with a guitar in my hand and be writing on paper for 4 hours straight. lol
My playing style is hopefully original and I strive for a balance between melodic and moody and showing off technical prowess where tasteful...personally I need more of both. ;)

Original backing track created by Dan Morgan and performed by Anthony McLeod.

GEAR USED:

Line 6 PODxt Amp Modeler.
Zenabi Custom Guitar (wood) with Seymour Duncan Blackouts active pickups.
Ibanez RG470L (blue) with EMG 81 active pickups and fixed bridge.
The Lo-TRS bridge sucks though and won't hold a tune, so I cut a piece of hard wood to block the trem from floating and now it is essentially a fixed bridge with fine tuners.

Sony Vegas Movie Studio (video editing software)
The software can do some cool things, but the video max is 3 layers.
Anyway, the PC drags and can't play all that stuff in real-time, so I work "bit by bit" and make sure sound and video lines up and then add the FX...after that I can't play the video without the computer going into a convulsion and not playing the sound and video in time and quite disturbingly choppy. So it's always a gamble hoping the finished project rendering is perfect until it is done. Scary! lol
Well, I painted a wall in my room green for green screening, but my lighting is terrible and I don't have money to spend on lights. For this reason my wall is not evenly lit and doesn't disappear properly with the Chroma-keying feature. Sorry about that!

If I missed anything just ask!
Take care,
Aaron Gray

Well I lived in Niagara Falls Canada my whole life until I relocated to Southern California for music. Of course I'm still a big nobody, but if I ever return I'll take you up on that offer. Call the band South Paw Curse! lol
