      He tuned the guitar so that it would be easy to turn while playing. If you notice the D has the tuning peg roughly perpendicular to the headstock and the E is roughly parallel. Easy to quickly retune like that

    Knowing that many riffs is one thing. Being able to switch gears and have "the feel" of each come through is quite another. You should most certainly do session work if that sort of thing interests you. Thank you so much for bringing some funky jams to my normally quiet campsite just before dark.

    Hey Alex -
    I know it’s 10 years later but in case you occasionally check comments:
    I particularly like your ordering so that keys make great sense and your interesting transitions when key changes come. Great composition!
    The ‘editing,’ that is, where you chose to get into and out of riffs was great, consistently interesting and occasionally surprising. Fun!
    Your use of effects was great and your non-Strat tones were very good. Your pickup switching was flawless. I think many beginning and intermediate guitarists don’t spend enough time practicing the tech side of effect/setting/pickup changes. You certainly do.
    The added bass notes in Satisfaction were very nice; your SRV tone was great; thanks for picking Thunderstruck instead of legatoing it; the switch to slide in Seven Nations Army was slick. A pleasant time is guaranteed for all.

    This reminds me of when you don't really fancy listening to music so you listen to the first 20 seconds of a song and then change it

    The fact that he executes this without any noticeable breaks is so impressive to me. Like each riff in itself is not that difficult (except for a few), but the fact that he pulls off this pretty seamless medley with no noticeable errors all in one take, switching to drop D midway through, and having amp modifications and other accessories… I’m watching this trying to calculate how many hours he had to practice to get this routine right, and he deserves a thumbs up at the very least from everyone who clicks.
