Disturber 3,634 Posted April 4 (edited) I had not seen this one. Thanks for sharing. Zen is da man! Edit: Zen is going all in Brad Paisley style here. Killer playing. What does he eat for breakfast? Edited April 4 by Disturber 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dasein 1,289 Posted April 4 Those chicken picked harmony guitar lines were sick! - That's some damn fine playing. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ting Ho Dung 6,931 Posted April 4 Seems Zen can play any style he puts his mind to. I had not seen this one before also. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gorch 4,680 Posted April 4 That’s certainly a newer one. Last time I spoke to him he mentioned that SD fell back to him. He’s simply is the best... isn’t he? 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FGJ 1,422 Posted April 5 That was probably my favorite video he's ever done. Not because of the guitar or pickups, and not for the video itself, but his playing was just great. I already thought he played well, but I'm impressed more than ever at his playing. Just wonderful stuff there. I'm envious. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zorrow 4,321 Posted April 5 That was an awesome guitarist there, playing the heck out of his guitar! Bravo, @zenmindbeginner! 🙏🙇 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mathman 2,226 Posted April 5 I hear some of his Eddie Van Halen chops in there! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DaveH 1,385 Posted April 6 The pedal steel effect at 5:15 was beautiful! All around awesome playing, real talent. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RobB 4,274 Posted April 6 Glad Zen and SD mended fences. His demos are the best marketing Duncan could hope for. Clean, crunch, dirt, OD, distortion; it’s all there for the viewer to hear. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cmatthes 17,136 Posted April 6 That video is from 2016 - does he have any newer ones out with SD? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't have that info, but if there ain't any new demo-vids, there should be! Compare the majority of, "x-guitar product" demos or "reviews." With a few exceptions (gearmandude, ProGuitarShop, Catalinbread, et al), they're usually poorly recorded/filmed with gonzo-distorto gain and way too much lame dialogue. I like Zen's vids because they don't have much talking, but spiffy graphic descriptions of the different sound examples. Excellent A/V quality, even at the lower resolutions. It's a guitar players world, yes indeed, and I DIG youtube.com for it, but, MAN...one really has to dig through the dirt to find the truffles. 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cmatthes 17,136 Posted April 6 Agreed. He's got the combination of a great eye/ear for the overall composition - each of his videos are so different, yet consistently great. 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jakeboy 5,108 Posted April 7 Yeah, our Zen makes the best looking and sounding gear videos anywhere. Anywhere. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brooks 1,432 Posted April 16 I hope Geoff doesn't mind me saying this, but his playing developed a maturity and taste seemingly in a year or two that usually takes decades. Basically, he said he posted a few vids just messing around w/ some fast playing to demo some gear, and some internet trolls flamed his playing (as they do), and it inspired him to write some tasty musical pieces "that nobody could make fun of". I have not spoke w/ him in awhile, but I hope he releases an album of the stuff he has written for these gear demos, it really is beautiful music. 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
