Live and studio footage of new tune "Hope" from upcoming album

[KevinDguitar]

Here's a live performance of a tune titled "Hope" from an album I've been working on.. the album should've been done, but I had to have surgery back in the winter that resulted in two more plates being put in my neck (for a total of three now lol).. we're shooting to have it finished an out by Oct/Nov of this year.. anyway.. here's a performance of the tune from two weeks ago.. its changed a bit since the demoing process.. in this live performance I brain cramped and skipped 4 bars and went to the bridge early.. but its live and you just got to let it happen and roll with it.. the violin isn't on the original demo and the melody was slide based.. but to pull it off live with only one guitar, I ditched the slide and added a violin player for a different texture.. here's the live performance..

Very nice. Need a rhythm guitarist on stage with you, because the demo sounds thicker, but both are really cool. Nice to see you on here again.

I wondered what happened, hope all goes well going forward.
Great work!

THANKS guys! I've been kinda digging eschewing live rhythm overdub for the violin/keyboard player.. just to open up a different perspective.. the demo should sound thicker.. I old school double tracked everything..lol.. sometimes.. triple tracking.. just b/c I'm so OCD.. we are making decent progress again on getting the album finished.. so hoping to get it out there for everyone October/November-ish.

Weren't you working on a video/DVD?
I'm still goofing around with Intellishred, not close to being ready for "Arpeggio" yet.

I'm working on some more instructional videos and have been discussing doing some web content for Guitar Aficionado Magazine.. it only talk until a check shows up in the mailbox..lol.

Looking forward to it Kevin.
I'd love to come over to GA and try for some private lessons but even you cannot solve me!

Lord willing!
