Here's the video to the title track of my latest album. Barbarian, which I find a fitting title to such a Neanderthal technophobe such as myself! biggrin.gif



The track is basically two distinct movements.. one classic metal shuffle and the other is almost Satriani territory before it goes for the grand finish.

A lot of the verse phrasing and much of the solo were improvised. When it came time to re-record my lines I decided that what I initially laid down fitted the mood so decided to leave it all alone.

Great track Ben! Love the Satriani section, very cool mood change and vibe there.
This just proves that no good track should start without a shredding bass shot smile.gif

Killer song!!! I love this idea with classic rock and Satriani section. Fits perfectly smile.gif

BTW the relaxation from your right hand started to become an obsession and a goal for me. I always watch at your videos for many times trying to catch a moment of tension, an unnecessary big movement or...you know something "human" biggrin.gif All I see it's just a right hand perfect relaxed which makes the playing to look damn easy. Even your raking from 1:30 it's made so relaxed just from the wrist not using the whole arm. It's really awesome to watch at your playing smile.gif

I was only able to watch about half of the video before my eyes started to melt...

Which sucks because I really wanted to see ALL of it!

All jokes aside - awesome tune and killer video man biggrin.gif
