Why not! I liked it. 

I remember years ago someone on the Petrucci forum did an excellent cover of Vai's For the love of God on an LP. It sounded equally good.

Unusual pick holding!

Lovely job.

I find everything much easier on gibson scale instruments.

Cranky

Amazing.

I wish I could relax like that when I play.

 I even just wish I could learn to stash my pick like that when I need to fingerpick for a quick stretch.

But it’s funny.  Deep down I know I’ll never learn to play like this because it’s not what I hear in my head when I play.

Great playing !

(I had expected a pic/vid of Joe playing a Lester)

It's not what ANYONE hears when I play.

I was expecting to see this: 

Dominic

great guitaring but it just bores my arse off

Kilgore

He needs to change that pick holding technique if he wants to improve. A few lessons with a decent teacher should sort it out.

Hootsmon

That boy can INTONATE!!! very nice

Are you being funny? It's perfect for him.....improve that?

Ever seen Steve Morse and would y'all tell him the same?

Apparently not.  





I don't usually go for the shreddy stuff but I thought it was awesome.

You know Holdsworth played an SG for a long time right?

KDS

That was great

roberty

Super clean playing. I love watching this sort of thing but I wouldn't listen to it really

Mind-blowing playing. I'll go pick up my guitar and knuckle down to work on the spot. If I get to learn some 0,01% from this video, well... that'll be massive. Thanks for sharing this!

He’s just slanting it the opposite way to normal, all good, does the same as slanting it the conventional way. Only ever had one student do that, and one other player apart from him (in person). Unusual but if it works it’s fine (it does look odd though!).

This Preston Black cat was brought to my attention on the Cracking The Code forum. Monster alternate picking chops. \m/

The kid's fantastic.

Gawd only knows how good he'd really be if he took all the solid TFB advice on plectrum technique  n' the like  

Keiko

It's not from the 'good wood era' though, so obviously the tone just isn't there and that's a shame.

Rocker

That is exactly the drivel that is, for some, guitar playing. I have always thought that music and Satriani were distant cousins. Very distant cousins.
