Hi everyone! If you're wondering what I've been working on with Darius lately, the answer is a new solo composition.
I worked hard on this one because, as most of you know, Darius has really high expectations from me. He really likes to push me to the maximum in all the areas (playing, composition, tone, mixing and video editing) and I love the fact that he does this. So, I learned new things, I applied a bunch of details and I tried to do my best to come up with even more complex ideas.
Also, this time, I decided to use a second guitar to harmonize some parts. I can say that we really had a lot of fun. You know, it's more than easy to make the harmonization, but the hard part comes when you try to do this and to not sound like a japanese video game (hahaha…that's our private joke). Anyway, in the end it turned out how we wanted and we are very proud of the result.

Amazing playing as always, Monica!
I heard some classic lines in there, I heard some meaningful lines with lots of feeling, I heard from fresh and spicy lines, I heard some great bends and the improvement in your playing over the 9 years you've been here at GMC is really great. I love to see these solo compositions, as they show more of the player themselves than a cover can do. The harmonies was a really nice touch!
I'm listening more now as I add to the comment here. The whammy bar touches are nice too. It's really just overall a very musical composition showing good skill, but all in a very touching way and not just one of those "play as fast as you can" videos. FAR from it. It's really great You really are a great player, Monica, and I'm proud of you for the development I've seen following your journey
