Yeah, kinda careful, because it was half-improvised... Meaning there was a starting and ending point, and a general idea of what I wanted to do (gratuitous cramming), but it was different each time. Most of this was composed, but each take was a little different with a few small windows for changing stuff. Some transitions could have been smoother, but for this video the overall intensity was more important. Anyway, thanks for the kind words! :)
Brian Larkin: Hufschmid Albinodroid Guitar Competition
Lynch said the original friction between him and Dokken was originally something a publicist decided to market years ago to give the band an edge. However, the fictional feud was based on some very real differences.
"She [the publicist] played it up good," Lynch chuckled. "Having us pose back to back with revolvers and stuff like that. But there was truth to our tension. Don was the weakest link in Dokken and we always dreamed of having a different lead singer. Me and the other guys, we'd write all the stuff, then he'd just come in and try to match the scratch vocals. It was a joke. A pose. Don't get me wrong - he's talented - talented at using other people's talents and being manipulative, deceitful, and acting with absolutely no conscience."
Lynch went on to explain that despite what he thinks of his former bandmate, he wants to focus on his band and his new record.
"Look, Don can go off and do all that stuff and say all that crap, but when he hits at me directly with pure lies, I'll hit back harder," he said. "I've worked so hard to establish my reputation and my integrity, and I won't let him compromise that. He stole from the energies of everyone and he still does it. He wanted the attention, he wanted to be a giant rock star and he'd step on his grandmother's grave to reach the top. That's what drives him -- fame. What drives me is the joy of playing in a band with friends I love -- and he'll never know what that means. When fans hear my new record they'll know exactly what I'm talking about."

At last, my very own version of the well-known "Flight of the Bumblebee", entirely arranged by myself for the 8-fingers tapping technique (so it has nothing to do with the Ms. Batten version!). The speed is 200 bpm, and from 0:34 to 0:44, I've included an overdubbed guitar which doubles and reinforces the melody line.
Recorded via pc using my Ibanez JEM 7VWH "Bianchina" model and the Line 6 Pocket Pod.
Recording software: Cubase SX-3.
Video edited with Adobe Premiere CS3.
Enjoy it!!!

I finally got around to doing a little video of one of the songs of our debut album. Besides the first 2 solos I also play on the studio version of this song, I threw in an additional solo and I replaced Michel's solo at the end. I thought this might make it a little more interesting to watch. The footage is kind of low quality and not perfect in any way, but I do dig the performance so I thought I'd share it anyways! Hope you enjoy!
