Hey guys, Finally got a chance to post a video playing my newly acquired flaxwood. :p

There is alot of issues going on with my playing, but whatever. :)

Wow! There's some real passion going on in that solo! Lovely phrasing - just right for this track. You have a nice vibrato here too coupled with some great legato runs!

I really enjoyed it. Post some more videos - I've subscribed to your channel!

Agree with everything Tom said man, really great passionate playing which shows you have a lot of control and also that you have something to say with your creativity. Very impressive.

Great stuff!

Tasty, tasty man!!! You have a lot of talent, BTW how old are you and how long have you been playing?
So you prefer the .10s then, I use .10s too. I was never really comfortable with .9s as the strings just felt too loose and when I changed to .10s it was such an improvement for me.

Again, great playing man!

[tjchep]

Hey thanks man!! I'm 16, and have been playing a few months shy of 2 years now. But man, 10's are just way better I think. Much more controll with them, I've found. What brand are you using?

[Rick Graham]

Less than two years? Wow man, very mature playing for such a short time.

I am currently using Ernie Ball strings but only because they are the only brand the local music shop stocks lol. I need to scour the net and try to get my hands on some different brands to test the water.

[tjchep]

Yeah, that's what I'm using now as they are cheap, but I'm like you and want to try some other brands too, and see if there is anything worth the extra money.

[Rick Graham]

Let me know if you come across anything of note ;)

Awesome playing TJ. And beautiful new guitar! Do you have any pics by chance?
