Couldn't resist, had a bit of time (a real rarity these days) so I cranked out another video this time its a cover of my tune "The Number Twelve" from my cd "Safe Harbor". Enjoy! Sorry NO Refunds!!!

Wow, wow, wow! Pete, that was great! I loved your melody tone--pure and sharp and very synthlike. And then we kick into the song, which was just great, too!

The stained glass window is a phenomenal touch! The new geetar looks sweet as well!

Thanks, for the encouragement. Soloing continues to be a steep climb. Man I wish I had more time also being about 30 years younger would be nice too!

The intro was using the "volume swell effect" then feeding into the "Octo reverb" on the line6 hd 500. "Octo reverb" is a little bit like Lexicon's shimmer but not near as pretty! Much fun.

I thought it was great, Pete! Really fun to listen to/watch! Monster player, thanks for sharing!

Great work!

Pete, I'd be super curious to hear about what all you are working on/practicing in "study mode"...

Fill us in, man!

Sure thing and thanks for the encouragement!!

I'm working on a cover of George Benson's - Affirmation. Note for note study on his solo. I have the notes, just can't play them up to speed and as smooth as it needs to be. Sure wasn't written for tappers(Next video I hope). After that I'd love to cover "Four on Six" but soloing on it with walking bass line is a bear!

From a study point of view, still working on ii/v7/I with Jamey Aebersold books along with Frank Gambale technique book 1 & 2. Also working on the pentatonics in regards to being able to blend the different patterns to move more vertically vs "one box" etc..

I have to give Kudos to Frank Gambale who lit a fire under my seat about 2 years ago at a seminar, the big takeaway is that I try to do something new or at least stretch/expand on whatever I know so I'm constantly moving forward at least off camera (LOL) anyways. What is that old saying "If you sound good at practice you're probably not making any progress" I wish I had learned this before being in my damn 50's!!!
