Can shred guitarists play with feel and emotion?
Just sharing a few thoughts on a subject I have had several conversations about over the years; Can shredders play with or do they play with feel? This is a subjective issue so I thought I would add my dogmatic two cents. We will address the subject head on and then play a little bit with an emphasis on feel and perhaps shockingly, even a little taste. Yikes.
A special shout out to YT Jam Tracks for providing the backing track. He is doing a wonderful service for musicians everywhere. Be sure to follow his channel. Here is the link to the track:

Please enjoy and feel free to comment.
I am playing a Leo Jaymes Monsoon through a Headrush MX-5 modeler. I am using the Plexi model and for a little different flavor I added some doubling which fattens up the tone a little bit.
Also, any critical sentiments that I share are subjective and they are not meant to be hurtful.

Firefly FFLX Explorer Guitar: Review and Shred Test
มุมมอง 7452 หลายเดือนก่อน
Let's check out the Firefly FFLX. This incredibly affordable guitar is equally impressive with it's style, build quality, appointments, and sound. Of course I will talk too much, play too much, and probably play the same licks that I always do. I might have a new one or two. Anyway, let me know what you think in the comment section.

57 dollar kit guitar meets SHRED!!
มุมมอง 7207 หลายเดือนก่อน
Hello all. It has been a long time. Today we look at a $57.00 kit guitar that I assembled. Let's put it through the shred test. A little catch up chat, some playing, some more playing and a very strange guest stops by unexpectedly. A special thanks to YT Jamtracks for the use of the backing track. I hope that somebody enjoys this slop fest of shred on a hyper budget.
Why I never "made it" as a professional guitar player.

Just taking a few moments to share some personal thoughts about why I think I never "made it" as a professional guitarist. This video is a bit introspective and hopefully interesting. Of course there is some obligatory guitar playing or else it would be completely boring. Thanks to YT Jam Tracks for the backing track. He does great work.
