Excellent innovative technique. Thanks for slowing it down and and demonstrating so well. Do you have lessons or tutorials available in any guitar publications that can be purchased?

[joelpaulsero]

very cool trick. but just sounds like exercises to me. I hear the 1000's clones all ready doing this, just like Yngwie with sweeping in the 80's and Eddie with tapping in the 70's-80's; I appreciate his work, but I'll take Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page, Randy Rhoads, or George Lynch any day over this very skillful dude. Personality always beats techinique in my book.
