wow Sean, killer solo bro! YOu sure have kept your chops up! =)

Overthinker: Nah, it’s been at least 10 years since I even tried to play this style of music,
and thusly the “fusion-vein” shines through in places. You entry kicked major hiney too mate!!

Very cool indeed!
I just posted a vid of my solo as well, one of my lamps broke though, so the pic is pretty dark and muddy… :/

Hey thanks Sean! You also surprised me man, I guess we’re use to hearing you play rhythm that didn’t think you played lead.
Shame on us. 😉 Real nice solo though man!!

Thanks James! Yeah I definitely consider myself a rhythm guitarist much more than a lead guitarist. I used to play tons of lead in my younger days, but I gradually merged from lead-focused to rhythm-focused when tendonitis started creeping in my left hand. So I had to start backing off from constantly playing lead stuff. I still enjoy playing lead now though! Just less frequently than I used to. 🙂
