I welcome all comments and your suggestion is valid we had a booking that was cancelled for this month, it would have provided needed video for promotional use and under the circumstances I had to edit this video with limited footage in two different programs as best as my knowledge and experience could provide hopefully I will find something like your suggestion in the near future thanks! smile

Interesting introduction. If  do not mind a suggestion and hope you are not offended by it, , if you know someone with a stage that would look like a live event you could do one clearer with the same introductions. That way you would look like you were working when it was made.

I edited this short video for a blatant attempt to entice interested individuals in a position to move things along for my band for future projects.

Just noticed you are finger picking this one, so I went on your page and watched a few and see you alternate between fingerpicking and flatpicking. How do you choose which technique you use?

Good question BGD  smile  I can fingerpick just about any song it really comes down to what sounds best to me it has nothing to do with speed more to do with tone smile

The experiment went well played 6 songs with the trio and 3 without.Great set and a fantastic response.

Great to hear Graham that trio is a handy little effect I like the new ones with the loop effect but now that I am in a band I don't need it but I still use it for practice at home. smile

Thanks and I agree the Strat is a very unique sound. Our drummer has a lot of guitars he also plays but he is left handed and my new guitar only comes in right handed models he really wants one for all the reasons I did lol funny I never really wanted to be a drummer smile

The new Trio's have a loop feature, I still use mine one thing I learned is do not use any effects when putting on the 1st  loop or track on the trio it confuses the synchronization of the beats if you have any problems with it let me know maybe I can help.

Nice playing Russell

I like the growl as well.

Also noticed the really nice chess board in background and the BEAUTIFUL GUITARS HANGING AROUND !! big_smile

  smile

That growl is me it defines the sound I gravitate to and I find more and more channeling my song selections to suit this sound, I made the chessboard and have wooden chessmen looks cool when setup and I still play but not as strong as I used to be due to my not playing in tournaments anymore music has my attention thanks for giving a look and for the nice comments as well smile

She's a beauty alright, Russell ... congratulations!

I'm a big fan of the larger 70's style head stock. Gorgeous girl, she is! "Fang" isn't going to be jealous, is she? wink

That shade of blue is identical to an Epiphone Les Paul "Prophecy" I've been drooling over lately. First thing I'd have to do is get rid of those screeching EMG pickups, and put something warmer in it. You got me thinkin', man!

That is a gorgeous color Fang is asleep not to worry the sound is the thing and that Atomic has them all

I can't wait to hear your rendition of the Scorps!

"Yeah that song is a vocal challenge to be sure the chord changes are not to difficult but we thought we would at least give it a shot and now with the addition of the keyboard player Zep's Kashmir is very possible, he is a top notch musician. keep ya posted smile

What a great photo. I think you guys are going to take over where Sabbath left off. Have fun.

Glad ya liked the photo we are moving in some direction not sure yet but the important thing is movement. I do not think Sabbath is our genre we are more blues rock orientated but we do sneak off the beaten path every now and then smile

Great poster. Looks like you " Fab Four" will be having a great time!

Thanks for sharing

Jim I remember Rick Flair, the keyboard player Gary is a 180 degree turn personality wise very quite and extremely talented, I have been rehearsing the Scorpions "send me an angel" (love the arrangement) should sound nice with keyboards and backing harmonies smile
