    i've been watching your covers for a quite a while now and i have to say every single one is superb every little detail is spot on your playing is just incredible sir.
    If you don't mind a suggestion for a future cover how about yngwie's overture 1383 i can't seem to find a cover of it and i'm sure you would nail that aswell.

    Finest shred solo of the 70's, you can find some of the licks that would later be played by Malmsteen and Friedman here.
    Wonderful cover, and the intro is just very well done.

      @@ClassicSoloSpotlight Thanks for all the efforts you put into this material, and they are obvious and clear. Probably that is why I have requested Perpetual. It can't be found anywhere on the internet covered with such attention to details and accuracy. The other selfish reason it that it is my favorite epic instrumental due to the consistency of its phrases. I won't give up hope for may be in the future you will surprise us all with it. Cheers.
