If it wasn't for the last minute nothing would get done. Me & my Gibson 335. MASTERMIND has signed with Lion Music (Finland) for the "Insomna" album to be released February 2010. Cool.
This really is my first take at this... tho' I did run thru it a couple of times yesterday. Sorry for the web cam quality, it's all I got in terms of video.
I am particularly pleased that at 1:11 it kind of sounds like a blues turnaround... I-V-IV-IV-V this really is just a f*cked up blues. At 1:30 it sort of becomes surf rock... Link Wray rules! There really is nothing new under the sun, eh? ;) Shred on!
I just want to show how great a real Gibson sounds plugged straight in, old skool... there's nothing like it, I love these things! I did another take with the Firebird but I won't get it edited in time I'm afraind. Check back for a post mortem. Thanks for looking!

Cool, thanks Laurie! The contests are fun, I enjoy an off the cuff, just go for it approach and this really was that. I got home from a gig at 3AM and just decided to go for it... that's rock'n'roll!
