Scalloped Strat Shred - Theodore Ziras backing track

I bought this scalloped fender strat off ebay about 8 months ago and i love it! Got it from Smoove groove scallop services on ebay. The thing just screams and plays great =) Got the backing track from http://www.theodoreziras.com. His backing tracks are awesome and he covers a wide variety of styles!

I have been playing guitar for two and a half years so please excuse some mistakes.
Thanks for watching!

Gear used: mesa express 5 50 2x12, dod yjm 308 boosted the burn channel, boss me 70 for a little delay. sony handycam.

You mentioned you prefer 24 fret guitars to the strats 21 frets. How often do you need the extra 3 frets on a 24 fret guitar? I know this might sound like a stupid question but I'm fairly new to playing.

@NomadRonin

Hey Man, no problem. 24 frets just make it so you dont have to bend that 21st up a ton to get those high pitch sounds. I look at the fretboard in terms of patterns and what not, so the even number of frets three octave's of E notes i think.. I really dont know much theory.

[MrEllinaras]

Is the YJM stratocaster important to create a sound near the sound of malmsteen or it's matter of the pedals and amps that he uses?

[burnedoutgolfer]

@MrEllinaras

To finish, yes, pedals and amps are very important. But alot of His tone and identity as a player lies in his incredible control and vibrato with bends, etc,. And thats where scallops can help a little bit in my opinion. But i actually dont play this guitar much, i prefer 24 fret guitars. this has 21

TONE.FOR.DAYS.

period.

This really rocks! It sounds very Yngwie Malmsteen-esque! I've never played a guitar with a scalloped neck. Can you give a quick comparo as to advantages/disadvantages over a standard neck?

Great playing, as usual!

[kossolas]

Nice shred man! Keep it up! ...and the guitar is awesome!

[Canadianspunge]

I hate it when people who've played for so much less time than me are so much more impressive! =/

Keep rockin' man!
