This is a performance of the opening tune from my debut CD "The Master Plan" which came out in 2002. It only took 5 years but after a bajillion requests I recorded a video to the album tracks. Lots of legato here - I guess I just like to contrast the chunky rhythm with some smoothness

The song actually won a poll here a few years ago to be used as menu music on a Jemfest DVD but I never heard if it was done or not. Hope you like!

For this it was dead simple my friend: PRS > Vamp Pro > Pro Tools. The V-amp would sound bad for most other applications but this was always gonna get the **** compressed out of it on on youtube anyway and it's a quick way to capture something resembling my real tone.

Well played.

How long have you been playing? You are excellent.

Well, thank you! I think this is my 18th year. In there though was a downtime of about 4 years where I didn't play much (read: more than 10-20 mins a day depending on the pain) due to severe tendonitis in my right arm. Probably explains why I lean so much on the smooth legato stuff (besides the fact that i LOVE the sound of it).
