I know some of you might say that i'm using my cat as a cuteness collector since this is a second video in which he appears , but it wasn't intentional :D For some reason he likes to position himself right at the time when i'm about to film a video . I guess he likes to cuddle up when i start playing music loudly and gets the urge to take a nap , same as i do when i hear a sound of a hairdryer :D Anyways , i noticed that if a backing track which i'm playing over is rocking and made with finesse , it makes me play much much better in return ! So i'd like to give a little shout-out to the people of Elevated Jam Tracks . They make amazing backing tracks and i strongly encourage all the musicians to check it out !

hahaha! my cat Simba does the same thing though he'll start meowing and ruin the take :D ... I guess he doesn't like my playing hahahaha
Btw , killer playing brother , you have some very interesting phrasing and uses of space , plus big props in following the changes and throwing some extra tensions here and there . Also , I find your guitar tone quite interesting , are you soloing on the neck pickup mainly? Kinda reminds me of the old Greg Howe tone , on his introspection album . Is that also in Ibanez guitar ? seems that you covered the logo ( I do that too hehehehe ) .
Congrats on the curie and keep the videos coming , I'd love to hear more from you!
I also gave it a try improvising over this backing track some time ago. Elevated Jam Tracks have some cool stuff on their libraries :)
Cheers my friend! Greetings from Argentina :D!

Wow bro , you killed it , monster playing ! Hahaha, yeah i covered the logo it just kind of looks better to me, it is an Ibanez guitar :D It is a cheap , mass produced one , i got it as a gift and liked the really fat neck that it has so i stuck with it :) You're correct i mostly play on neck pickup since it is a single coil , there's something about it that i really like , i guess it comes from listening to a lot of Yngwie since i was a kid :D Btw , thanks a lot for the comments , means a lot :)So glad to see such great talent here on Steemit , rock on brother !

Good backing track, this one will help a lot to those who love (like me) to improvise and rock.
It's great to have this kind of resources (backing track) to develop skills and discover our limits and also break them, thanks to the backing tracks I found my sound in Jazz. Thanks for sharing this, it's a very necessary tool for musicians.

You're welcome bro ! Exactly , backing tracks indeed are a great tool . They are a great substitute for a live band , especially in jazz idiom :)

Beautifully played @stavrin sounds so good, I like guitar solo and you can seem to share my opinion. I noticed the ears of cat they are slightly down when he listens to your music and it does not seems it bothers him at all. Great performance, and you have already a loyal fan and groupies following you.

Hello Gene ! Sure i wouldn't mind being featured in your posts , in fact it would be an honor !
A couple of things i could add about myself , well:
I have been playing the guitar since i was a little kid and if i do not devote myself solely on improving myself as a musician , i kind of feel miserable :D I guess that holds true for all the people involved with some kind of art . In a society that largely neglects art's contribution to enrichment of our lives , Steemit really is a light in the dark when it comes to valuing artists . I have seen so many talented people here doing what they do best while
being encouraged and respected by the community and i'm very glad about that . Long may it continue :)
Thank you Gene for taking interest :)
