Video of me shreddin' on my Charvel

Dude, great job! Your playing was clean and you have good intonation with your vibrato. The Line 6 sounded great here. This video was also a great example of how you don't need a Floyd to do whammy work.

Props on writing an instrumental that is actually a song and not the usual four minute guitar solo over a backing track that some try to pass off as a song.

Thanks dude. I know what you mean. Youtube is full of guys just shredding mindlessly from beginning to end. I can only take about ten seconds of that. One reason I like Paul Gilbert's latest cd so much is that there is a ton of melody in the songs. It's the perfect balance of melody and shred, IMO.

hey bro it is great to hear you are not into just the "speed" side of playing
this will seperate you from the "boring" players like so many on youtube.

The guitar in the video is a made in Japan model. The model name is "standard." They first came out in 2002 and were made for a couple of years ??? I believe the pickups are a JB and a Jazz (both Duncans). I was so thrilled when they released this model. It was everything I wanted in a guitar: 24 frets, maple board, 2 hums, dinky body shape, strathead (sort of), and a floating trem that wasn't a Floyd, and it stays in tune!

Watch me shred on acoustic guitar and vocals!

I was listening to Hysteria in my car today and thought I'd take a stab at singing it. So there it is, warts and all.
I had a bit of a hard time picking the individual notes and singing at the same time. Oh well.
