Looking forward to these lessons. I love the style......and that's a beautiful guitar. Looks like a Carvin DC 127. I used to own one of those and sold it. I have regretted selling that guitar....almost identical to yours, just a different color. But I had same electronics. Anyway...welcome!

Welcome to GMC, Juan... amazing playing there.... looks like you're hardly touching the fretboard.. just dancing over it. I look forward to getting some legato tips off you too ! :-)

Great to have you here Juan - we have been thirsty for some cool legato examples. Your chops are very inspiring!
Holdsworth is a big inspiration of mine - al though I have never been able to play a single note sounding like him. Maybe that will change now! =)
