that is awesome! any chance you can do a follow up with some narration of the kinds of scales/arps that you used. I'm trying really hard to get into this style of playing.

Thanks again!

ha, you got it, cool as hell

great! i love hearing those lines played on that tele....you've got that hip message juxtaposed with that snotty (in a good way) fender tone and i'm saying that you are a complete success. School? What school? Play that for your teacher, whoever he is, and he'll think that HE'S the genius.

I'm totally new to the diminished scale and it's kinda nice to find a vid that uses the entire scale instead of just the partial/arpeggio thingy...plus you sound great

This is almost a direct copy of Robben Ford's video.

Nice playing. Copied Robben's video well. Check out my funky fungerstyle video too.

thank you so much!

I will steel some of your ideas here! Please do not report me to the music police - after all we all learn from other people...with the exception of very few...

Very Nice, but iam guessing you have ripped it off Robben Ford's DvD. on "The diminished usage" section.
