Hi Guys,

Well, I have not been playing much recently....been doing a lot of stuff with my family and being a Dad. But I found this very nice little ballad backer which I had not heard before (wonder if anybody here has ?) so had a go at playing over it. The BT really lends itself to being a proper song so tried to come up with a little melody idea to bounce off of...I was a bit shakey on this one as whilst I was recording it, my two son's were beating the Sh*t out of each other with lightsabre's so was a bit distracted....let me know what you guys think cause I think I'm beginning to sound samey....time for some more practicing problably....:thumb:

Great stuff mate, sounds kind of Vai style with some other mixtures, it works brilliantly :thumb:
As for thinking you sound samey, in all honestly your one of the most well rounded guitarists i know, i've heard you play Satch, Vai, Malm, Moore, Johnson, and sound completely original on all of them.
I think one of the biggest traps for guitarists to avoid is only playing one style, and your as far away from that as anyone i can name.
Excellent work here mate, and we'll have to get GB3 on the road again soon :)

Lovely piece m8:thumb: :thumb:
Nah i must admit i really admire your style and technique, one of my favourite guitarists on here for sure:thumb:
Well i never get sick of hearing you:)

hey Ava & Bah,

Thanks bro's for listening and your kind words, really appreciate it. I must admit at the moment I'm feeling a little trapped with certain things that I find I'm always playing when improvising and stuff. I'm sure its just a silly stage I'm goin through.Lol. Guys, look forward to the next time we team up.

Catch U2 later.:thumb:

This was beautiful. Damn I wish I had an ounce of what you got talent wise. Love that tone, the sustain and vibrato is very Vai'ish:yourock:

This was a very nice piece, Wonderful phrasing.

Green with envy here mate:woot:

EDIT - That is a great tapping lick towards end of track you pulled off

Hey Mac, thanks dude for checking it out and your comments, Sort of been practicing my tapping at the moment so have been going a little crazy with throwing those type of licks in.

Thanks again bro.:thumb:

Just a thought - Maybe u should get ur sons to knock the bollix out of each other more often as u play cause that was sweet man! Enjoyed it!:thumb:

Hehe...I saw the file size and knew IMMEDIATELY which backer it was! This sounds superb mate...very Andy Timmons to my ears. I used it to write a piece called 'Hope' on New Years Day two years ago with regard to the Tsunami that was so devastating. It's still one of my fave pieces even tho I was "very, very drunk" on brandy when I played it! In fact fell asleep and forgot all about it until I woke up the next day and saw I hadn't closed Cakewalk down.

Excellent work mate, there are SO many parts where we do a similar type of run. Very beautiful. :thumb:

Hey Chris, I thought you may have had this one before!, Thanks for checking it out and your comments, Ive been listening to the new Andy Timmons CD alot so may have come out in my a little. wow, this has been around for 2 years !!!, I'd love to hear your version mate, This piece does sound like it would be great as a tribute to something or as a rememberance tune. Thanks again Chris, very much appreciated...:thumb:

Hey Chris,

I did a sneaky and checked out your version on your website. I had'nt heard that one from you before and it was awesome, I think your one has way more passion in it and there were lots that was similar as well, you don't know how close I came from adding volume swells at the beginning !!! Really enjoyed your version mate.....great stuff :thumb:

Beautiful playing, I especially liked it around right in the middle (can´t tell what sec because it doesn´t show on the online player), up til those "whale sounds" (volume pedal-knob on off?). Tasty all the way man!

Hey Ukelele,

Thanks bro, really appreciate you checking it out and that you liked it...those volume swell type notes were actually an effect on my Zoom called Slow Attack so as to give you this Violin type effect....Thanks for listening :thumb:
