As I promised to Kris and some members at GMC,I'm posting links related to gig I had not so long ago.
We were playing tunes from my debut album "Let It Out" and some covers as well.
I'm rendering more videos at the moment so I'll make some updates to this topic as well.

that is amazing playing!

Posted by: ch00ch00man Aug 3 2007, 02:34 AM

Muris,

Excellent playing! I particularly liked your rendition of While My Guitar Gently Weeps. And Blue Note in A was awesome as well.

Boris

Posted by: Gen Aug 3 2007, 02:37 AM

Thats awesome!
your playing is perfect, looks really pro!

Posted by: Slammer Aug 3 2007, 05:04 AM

Hey I didn't know you could sing!

you sound awesome on those high parts on While my guitar gently weeps.

you got a good voice.

Posted by: JVM Aug 3 2007, 05:13 AM

Great stuff muris. I always really liked drunk funk, but seeing you play it live, it makes me appreciate how great of a groove you get going there. Looks like you had a great time.

Posted by: MickeM Aug 3 2007, 08:39 AM

The sound was surprisingly good from a video camera.

I really liked "Blue note in A", that one was flying.

Very good playing, good show! Go Heineken!!

Posted by: muris Aug 3 2007, 11:47 AM

Thanks a lot guys

Yeah,sound is not that bad,still I can't get this guy on the phone to take mixed audio..
Funny is tho,of all my crew,only keyboard player drinks alcohol lol lol

Posted by: MickeM Aug 3 2007, 01:48 PM

So you mean to tell me that was half a glass of water you drank during "Drunk Funk"? I thought it was vodka

I never enter a stage sober, Did it once and that was a catastrophy, too much nervosity in my fingers.
We used to have a bass player who always played sober, perfectly well very tight and secure, once he tried to play drunk... oh man, he had to ask me about the set list - what song is next - and after I replied - what key is it in and he played wrong etc etc
Didn't work at all for him.

Posted by: The Uncreator Aug 3 2007, 02:40 PM

GREAT Performance!!

Posted by: Robin Aug 3 2007, 02:58 PM

"SRV or What?" is too cool dude!!

Posted by: tonymiro Aug 3 2007, 03:45 PM

Great playing from you and all the guys in the band Muris!

Particularly enjoyed Drunk Funk - makes me want to go and get out my old Steely Dan and Larry Carlton albums it was so good. Wonderful playing and phrasing.

Huge thanks for sharing the videos.

Cheers,
Tony

Used to play with many drunk players tho,same memories as yours

Posted by: muris Aug 4 2007, 02:23 AM

Posted by: Andrew Cockburn Aug 4 2007, 02:52 AM

Amazingly cool Muris - you are an awesome guitarist dude, we are lucky to have you at GMC

Posted by: muris Aug 4 2007, 03:27 AM

Thanks a lot Andrew,and pleasure to be here is all mine.

Posted by: kethcup Aug 4 2007, 03:32 AM

Muris -

Brilliant playing!

Like I've said before, I love the emotion in your playing. It's really moving!

Great Job!

Posted by: ezravdb Aug 4 2007, 01:27 PM

Awesome videos, Muris

Posted by: Wallimann Aug 4 2007, 05:01 PM

Muris, I'm a new fan.
This is great!
Makes me want to find a band even more now!

Posted by: muris Aug 5 2007, 09:13 PM

Thanks a lot guys!!

Wallimann,indeed it IS a real pleasure to play on stage,specially when you have nice musicians with you,and when you're playing stuff you like.
I hope you'll find some cool crew to play with quite soon tho!!

Posted by: Roo Aug 6 2007, 01:29 AM

Really great! Wow...sound pretty good for a gig mix.
I wish I could sing and play lead guitar like you do.
Isn't that tough to handle on your shoulders all the front performer work. There's also all the logistic work beside to handle before and after.
God, you must be exauted at the end of evening...

Posted by: muris Aug 6 2007, 08:44 AM

Roo my mate,thanks!!
Yeah,I have real problems with that,everybody I play with usually get off the stage dry and relaxed while I'm all wet and tired as hell

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Aug 6 2007, 04:35 PM

Excelent Muris!! You have a great band man! Congratulations!

Posted by: Kristofer Dahl Aug 6 2007, 08:40 PM

WOW!!

I am speachless - Muris you are a true inspiration, this will definately go the start page!!

Thanks for sharing - I knew it would be appreciated (how could it not?!)

Posted by: kahall Aug 7 2007, 03:22 AM

Very nice indeed!

I also notice that yes, we all have to learn to play standing up eventually. ;-)

Posted by: muris Aug 7 2007, 05:42 AM

Thanks Kris and Gabriel, appreciate it!!

Kahall,yeah standing and playing might be tricky for the first time or som,but you'll get used to it quite soon...
all we need to do is to stand up

Posted by: GroovinMastiff Aug 7 2007, 10:22 PM

Muris, I love your music! After hearing your playing on GMC snd MySpace, I got your album from iTunes. It was worth every penny, it's great to know that we have a true master of guitar here at GMC.
I hope to hear more of your music in the future...

Posted by: muris Aug 8 2007, 04:47 AM

Many thanks,God bless!!
Btw,I'm recording my new album at the moment,so more music to come for sure!!
Thanks a lot again!!!

Posted by: Smikey2006 Aug 8 2007, 06:23 AM

Lovely.. i wanna buy a copy of your album as soon as i can wud u be willing to ship me a copy way over here in Canada

Posted by: muris Aug 8 2007, 02:03 PM

Thanks Smikey!!
Shipping is available world wide cause it goes via CdBaby.

Posted by: Andrew Cockburn Aug 8 2007, 02:53 PM

Just ordering my copy

Posted by: Pavel Aug 8 2007, 03:08 PM

I would - if i had a PayPal or credit card

Muris - once i get those i'll make sure to get all your stuff!

Posted by: Nick325 Aug 8 2007, 03:16 PM

muris i didnt know that was your brother pplaying bass

Posted by: muris Aug 8 2007, 03:21 PM

Thanks Pavel,appreciate it!!

Nick,yeah that's my bro Haris on bass

Posted by: tonymiro Aug 8 2007, 03:22 PM

Pavel, does your bank let you make electronic transfers like IBAN/SWIFT to other European banks (think it only works on Europe)? Might be a way for you to order from Muris (CD Baby though is US)- and possibly get round the credit card/paypal thing. I use it and my Spanish bank doesn't charge me to do it. My English bank doesn't charge if I do it but does if I ask them to set the transfer up.

Just a thought

Cheers,
Tony

Posted by: muris Aug 8 2007, 03:36 PM

Cool idea Tony but unfortunately I don't have any copies,it's all at CdBaby

Posted by: Pavel Aug 8 2007, 03:40 PM

I can do the transfers like that, and i DO get charged for that!! I'll see if i can get the CD that way!

Posted by: Street Musician Aug 9 2007, 12:56 PM

I didnt know you could sing Awesome guitar playing. Not my style though.

Posted by: Hungus Aug 9 2007, 01:06 PM

Just had a listen to a couple of your songs and I reakon Blue Note In A is bloody sweet, I would love a lesson that sounded like that... especially considering we dont really have any slow lessons (I dont think)

Posted by: betschart Aug 9 2007, 02:27 PM

Yes, the Blue Note In A was really great; I liked that one a lot. Nice performaces too!

Posted by: muris Aug 9 2007, 04:11 PM

Thanks guys!!
Glad you like it,Blue Note in A is one of my favs too!

Posted by: misterj Aug 9 2007, 06:21 PM

Muris, can i be like you when i grow up? amazing. while my guitar gently weeps.. thats what happens when skill and soul collide. when i saw it, i too gently wept. jokes aside, it was amazing. also, id like to see a review of the prophecy 2. is that all you ever use? it seems to sound great. didnt know you could get such good tone without tubes. (just my opinion)

Posted by: Andrew Cockburn Aug 9 2007, 07:00 PM

The more I leanr the more I think that great tone is at least 50% clean playing - high levels of clean playing at that ...

Posted by: Pavel Aug 9 2007, 07:03 PM

You are right Andrew! I improve my muting more and more and also i am beginning to LOVE the tone i am getting in my solo playing - and the main thing is muting with right hand! That way you can REALLY work on articulation and phrasing!

Posted by: Andrew Cockburn Aug 9 2007, 07:07 PM

So buying a Jem and a Carvin Legacy won't make you sound like Steve Vai, but buying a Fender Squier, a Roland Cube, and practicing for like a demon for 30 years will give you a very good chance

Posted by: Pavel Aug 9 2007, 07:12 PM

Buying equipment like that can only make you loose your motivation! But JEM and Carvin won't help you to sound like Vai - you ARE right here!

Posted by: misterj Aug 9 2007, 08:18 PM

yeah, you guys are probably right. i guess im just a gearhead. always searching for great tone.

thanks for the tip!! muting seems to be one of the most difucult things to master. especially on the higher strings. i guess no one could really do a lesson on it, its just one of those things that you have to figure out on your own.

Posted by: Pavel Aug 9 2007, 08:25 PM

Yes! There is nothing we can show that can be visible by camera! It's just the feeling you have to obtain with time! Don't worry!

Posted by: Andrew Cockburn Aug 9 2007, 08:45 PM

And buy lots of gear anyway - I do

Posted by: JVM Aug 9 2007, 08:48 PM

Posted by: Pavel Aug 9 2007, 09:00 PM

You have to waste those millions?? Why don't you buy me one nice Line 6 HD147 Head?

Btw. check that amp - it's really great and really affordable! For both head and Line 6 Cabinet you pay 1750$ at Musician's Friend!

Posted by: muris Aug 9 2007, 09:14 PM

Thanks folks!

MisterJ,regarding to my live tone,Prophesy has one(1) 12AX7 tube but Mesa 2 : 90 has three(3) 12A7 tubes in preamp and eight(8) 6L6 tubes in amp section.
If we calculate that,there are 12 tubes

Posted by: Andrew Cockburn Aug 9 2007, 09:18 PM

Can't stand that digital trash - I want a real tube amp!

(That was for MickeM's benefit )

Line6 stuff is really cool, but I have the pod already, my next purchase will be a very basic (but not necesarily cheap) tube amp.

Of course I'd love to buy you the Line6 Pavel, but it would cost me at least 1 Lois Vuiton handbag, and i can't afford that as well

Posted by: Pavel Aug 9 2007, 09:21 PM

You would be surprised how many great players use Line 6 amps! Both Rhapsody guitarists use HD147 heads - and they have the money to get a good gear so i don't think they bought it just like that! Kamelot guitarist also uses that amp and he has a killer sound - power metal band! Evanescenes guitarist also plays it and he is known by his heavy riffing stuff so i think it's a very good amp!

Posted by: muris Aug 9 2007, 10:38 PM

They use Line 6 cause Line 6 is paying for that
Joke but has some truth inside...
By the way,no need to look that much what somebody else uses,
just try the amp and see if you like it.
But there's a huge difference between all tube and solid state amps,that's for sure.

Posted by: Pavel Aug 10 2007, 12:03 AM

I can't try it because there is no guitar center in Croatia which has lot's of amps! Especially not Line 6! Rhapsody doesn't get paid for that because they use all custom gear by that Capelli guy from France! I am just trying to find out what the big deal behind: "Tube is better than Solid State" if Line 6 has such great names using their amps!

Posted by: muris Aug 10 2007, 01:12 AM

Same here in Bosnia

Posted by: misterj Aug 10 2007, 03:59 AM

didnt see the mesa in there.. ill have to go back to your website. anyway, great tone. great everything.

Posted by: muris Aug 10 2007, 04:05 AM

Look at video SRV Or What,guy is zooming at my rack
Thanks tho!!!

Posted by: misterj Aug 10 2007, 04:19 AM

i bought a line 6 spider 100 watt head last year, and i ended up returning it. lots of stuff sounds good on record, but when you play it, it may not respond to the nuances of your playing style the way you expect. tubes just respond in a totally different way than solid state. better or worse is a matter of opinion. i prefer tubes because i like the way they respond. they seem very warm and ... well... responsive. they kind of play with you. i actually consider my amps almost as much of an instrument as the guitar. solid state doesnt seem to respond to my playing at all. they feel dead and cold. but hey- thats jusst my opinion. solid state has its place, im sure. ive just never found one that stacked up to tubes. but again - its all opinion.

Posted by: muris Aug 10 2007, 04:23 AM

yeah,tubes always cut better though mix,imo

Posted by: atomix1337 Aug 10 2007, 05:26 AM

Man awesome gig muris, rock on!

(and blues on too!)

Posted by: muris Aug 10 2007, 05:57 AM

Cheers to the blues,yeah!!

Posted by: fire Aug 14 2007, 01:56 AM

Great stuff! Excellent playing & exscpecially timing wow!
How long is your band already making music? really awesome!!
Tobi

Posted by: muris Aug 14 2007, 02:03 AM

Thanks Tobi

To be honest,that was first gig with this crew,we had 3-4 rehearsals and on the stage...

Posted by: Francis Viviers Aug 14 2007, 02:56 PM

All i can say is .... Truly amazing and inspiring!

Posted by: muris Aug 14 2007, 09:38 PM

Thanks to all

Francis,regarding to your request,consider it done

Posted by: mattacuk Aug 25 2007, 04:12 PM

You seriously Rock Muris! I particularly enjoyed Mojo Oro

Posted by: muris Aug 25 2007, 07:33 PM

Thanks mattacuk!!

I played with same band few nights ago
and Mojo Oro was twice on the air,looks like it's favorite tune to many people.

Posted by: Iluha Aug 25 2007, 08:04 PM

I really like "A story from eastern europe" It gives me this epic feel kinda similar to when I listen to the song "Liberty" by Steve Vai.

Posted by: muris Aug 25 2007, 08:26 PM

Ohh yes Illuha,thanks for bringing it in!

Middle part of that tune(when I put hand on heart in video) is National Hymn of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Posted by: strat_daniel Sep 16 2007, 02:24 AM

That was amazing! Blue note in A and Mojo Oro are the best. Definately ordering your album

Posted by: muris Sep 16 2007, 03:39 AM

Thanks Daniel,glad you liked it!!:)
