I guessed you guys would like to see that our Hamer axes are getting played, so here’s a new guest solo I recorded for BLINDER, for a song on their next EP.

Now, here’s something you might NOT like:

I DID record the second lead voice you hear in the background with this guitar, but I ended up recording the main leads with my home-made white Vee. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Yeah, I know, sacrilege; but that’s how it was. As weird as it is, that no-name Vee which was built by a friend of mine using leftover materials, still is my main guitar for playing solos. I just have a good bond with it.

So, for the record (pun intended), here are the tools of the trade:

You are one hell of a shredder!

edit: this is more my style. 

May be an image of guitar and text that says 'Two types of lead guitar players you have to study scales and music theory to be be able to play in key i just hit random notes until i the ones that sound cool find'

Hey! Thank you! But in all honesty, designing that solo was pretty arduous; the rhythmic figures of the run at the end are quite challenging for me to play cleanly and in time. That run starts with two quintuplets, then it follows with two triplets and then it ends with a straight rhythmic line. I actually didn’t play it too well in the video, though it’s a decent approximation. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Also, I had to do several takes of the solo, stack them up and then cut and paste the best sections of each take. That’s why the studio version will sound neat and tight, but « live » I don’t think I can do much better than what I did in the video.

Hum… the angry guy kinda looks like me, but I won’t take it personally 😜
