Ah, man, there's a bit of gain on there ;) you just gotta turn up your volume a bit ;) Besides, I like to keep as "pure" a tone as possible--straight tubes to guitar, baby lol . BUt thank you for the tip, I appreciate the "feedback" (or, more like, "lack thereof," ammarite?!?!? ;)

@gjones15 Hey buddy, I need to keep it short and beautiful, it is my sincere feedback, don't be offended or anything, consider that I have to lay one out to all of the contestant 😉

Man, this is one of my all-time favorite guitar solos. Love your interpretation, you went deep into it, shredding every step of the way! Like the delicate arpeggiation you ended on too. Beautiful playing :)

Thanks... yeah, never used to be much of a "shredder" lol. It's a bit of a new technique for me (hence its somewhat stilted delivery) but, if you pay attention, both of my fav guitarists, Hendrix and Page both use the shredding pick technique at various times (look at Jimi's "Machine Gun"...) never all the time, but sporadically, which is what I have attempted to do as well. Well, as the "mood and music suited me" lol. There's a lot of room to be creative w this one, and everytime is different! (ive actualy already replaced this embedded video once with a retake lol)

lol I do that too, going back and editing poems and so on after they're posted :D

Haha yeah... I'm pretty bad about it :/ you prob do know this already, but, just heads up that apparently editing your posts uses up bandwidth like crazy... so I gootta be careful and try and not do it, but I pretty much end up editing like... at LEAST half of all postage lol

This bleeping rocks gjones15 bluesy as hell love it!

Thank you, kind sir :)

Nice bro. I enjoyed it. Keep uploading!

My amp's with the Pawn Man atm, so gonna be a bit till I can make another music post :( lol

We've all been there brother. I just made a little improv video that doesn't want to work with d.tube..the usual flabbery. I will try once more, and if no joy, I will sell my soul to youtube once more.

lol yes... I not yet been successful at uploading to D.Tube either--kinda sux... are u on mac by chance? Wonder if that has something to d w it :/ But yeah.... Steemit over youtube anyday

No I use linux on an old dell, but I have been trying to upload on my mobile device actually. I have unlimited high speed data on it. I am not willing to take the risk of wasting hotspot data for failed attempts on my laptop. I ended up selling my soul to youtube anyway lol. It's posted. Thanks for stopping by bro. I look forward to seeing your vids after you get the amp out of the pawn.

Yeah, it's funny how fickle the tech industry can be .. or just people in general, really, right? Like, "Eh, forget all those years of using youtube, and the value we have derived from it in the past--there's something better now (d.tube) so screw youtube" lol or facebook, or banks... might as well, while we're at it lol

For many it may be about trends, and what is the latest and greatest, but with fakebook and youtube there is content moderation, and unfair distribution of wealth. Fakebook doesn't pay it's users anything, yet makes hoards of money from people using it. I think it's more about the people wanting to get their share. If your content is worth something to others, you should be paid accordingly! Not a corporation getting paid off of adverts from the traffic you generate from other users.
