Chris Brooks: Black Star - time machine lands at age 18.

I have a whole raft of demos from players but not this one. Really great to see players post some of the history of guitar... just shows all you 18 year olds the level of chops that were around at that time.

You might not hear it in my recent music but I owe a lot to the nimble-fingered Swede. I dusted off my Yngwie Strat today and did some reminiscing about all the time I spent working on my chops thanks to Yngwie's inspiration. So in that spirit, I offer you this 4-track demo I did when I was about 18, complete with some photos of a younger me for extra laughs! Enjoy!

PS The dodgy cheering sample was my attempt to imitate the crowd on Yngwie's "Live in Leningrad" album.
