    Hey Tom, 🙂

    Killer take! 😎 You seem as if you’ve played “…Bumblebee” so many times that you barely need to concentrate on it at all while you play it?!? (…Either that or it’s your way of relaxing, which I would imagine is important to alternate-picking so efficiently/effectively – I wouldn’t know anything about that personally – LOL! 😮 🙁 )

    Great job man! 😎

    Good stuff man!
    I actually just remembered that I have a video somewhere of me
    doing my an 8-finger rendition of the bumblebee back when I first started out
    (I think I was 18 when the video was shot or something). Haven’t seen that video
    in ages, have too see if I can find it, and upload it (even though it is pretty embarrassing
    with me in shoulder length hair, Metalica shirt and all that hehe). 😎

    Hi Richard.

    I remember seeing that video a couple of years ago:-) Mighty impressive. I couldn’t play anything like that when I was 18.

    Hi Tom 🙂

    Wow, that was great! You really have great alternate picking technique. I loved those clean runs, very impressive. IS that a DiMarzio D-Sonic or Crunch Lab I see in the bridge there? Great video and tone, congrats!

    Hi Eric.

    Thanks for the compliment;-) Besides alot of jazz lately I spend most of my practicetime on Alternate picking:-)
    And it is the D-sonic in the bridge and Air Norton in the neck. Killer combo. I have tried the Crunch Lab but prefere the D-sonic. And the amp is the Randall RM80 loaded with the Ultra XL modul.
