What can I say... excellent Good luck

[Scali]

Thanks guys, glad you liked it

Funny about the tone. This is my only guitar with EMG pickups, I put them in there as an experiment. I was a bit hesitant about it, because you often hear people complain that they sound sterile and such. I quite liked how it turned out though, I think it has a nice warm tone, with a lot of clarity, and they make the guitar sustain like mad.
Guess I'm not the only one who likes how it turned out

Very nice playing. Smooth and great tone. Hope you go somewhere with it. Also I noticed that you are a subscriber of Lori Linstruth's videos. She's actually a friend and Arjen's one of my favorite musicians.

[Scali]

Thanks... Yea, Lori moved to The Netherlands. I don't know here or Arjen personally, but Stream Of Passion (the band that Arjen and Lori were in at the time) saw some airplay here in The Netherlands a while ago. When I saw and heard her play, I looked on the internet to see who it was, and landed on her YouTube channel, and her Play Like A Girl blog. She's great.

Sadly I had just missed her auctioning her two Fender HM Strats on Ebay. I would have loved to have one of them, if not both.
I'd love to jam out with her sometime.

I love Stream of passion. Got their CD when they first came out. I remember when she had her pink strat for sale. She's endorsed by Luna guitars isn't she?

Anyways, great playing.

[RatedZ]

Wow, what a great song; superb feeling, tone, playing...just awesome.

[Scali]

Thanks.
And yea, she uses Luna, guitars 'designed for women'
By the way, about your signature...
I know what you mean, I got a 7-string LP aswell

[Tingly]

Good luck, altho, as they wrote above, I don't think you will not need much "luck."!

'Very tight. Totally pro!

Your playing is like chocolate ice cream: cool, sweet and very satisfying.

But, IMHO, the angle the video was taken from was not flattering for you. Does that matter in the contest?
