    No backing track, no playing "along to the song" (as the real guitar solo is played in the background). Just straight up, stripped down, balls to the wall, hiding behind nothing in your face played like a Sunday walk in the park. Amazing.

    Awesome! Guitar videos don't need fancy lights, camera angles, or editing: we want a clear continuous view of both hands and the audio to clearly be the same "take" as the video. Love your playing; you're inspiring us!

    This version stays more true to the original. It’s insane how I can hear a back track in my head to you playing this solo (I don’t know if I’m the only one). I love the tone more in your older one from 9 years ago because it was more unique to you as a player, but man this is so fucking clean. Great job with both of them dude, you are by far the best content creator to ever touch this solo in my opinion and it isn’t even close.
