Recorded about 3 years ago, this is a DRIVING song and so I named it after a stretch of road I always wanted to drive on but never did. Backing track made by 'somebody else'! :)

This is a conversation with the fingers. You make that 6 string really sing. Cracking playing, well done

Wow I don't even know what to say about this one, I thought I was listeing to Ymgwie Malmsteen.

Chris, very brilliant playing and this master sounds really good too. The variations in technique you're using really make this shine. But the stand out here for me is the memorable melodic hooks...so well conceived. Smoked it mate! ~Blake

Hey man, thanks for the comments. Yeah, these were harmony guitars or 'twin leads' as I like to call them. I'm a big Thin Lizzy fan and I've always added them to music to bring the melody out...also think Y&T and you have the measure of my heroes.

Chris I love your style man. Great solos indeed. you have a very dynamic playing about you. Like the harmonies on this tune or did you just offset one track?. The slow period was kind of cool and the break out of it was brilliant.

Thanks Rapster. It's an older one is 'Pacific Highway' but I always liked the driving aspect that seems to be in the harmony...it wasn't intended!!!

So many great guitarists here its hard to catch them all, but I'm sure glad I passed by your way. Talk about fret work, I was fretting when I heard some of those giant screaming slides, I can't even comprehend how thats done. The track breaks down masterfully to that spot. This one takes a few listens but I'm still saying "how'd he do that"?...nice work

I have been playing guitar since I was 10 and I'm now very old! I teach full-time in local schools and at my home studio. I write lots of material both by myself and in collaboration with people from all over the world. I am primarily a guitarist but also play and teach bass, some keys and program drums using Acid Pro and EZ Drummer...a match made in heaven.<br /><br />In the 80's I was a member of a heavy metal band called Black Rose and we did a couple of albums and toured the UK and a bit of Europe. A couple of years ago we got the bug again and the original band (minus the bass player) is now finishing up 12 songs for a new album project. All this written and recorded via e-mail. When it's finished we'll probably go the download route rather than cd...they are dead these days ain't they???<br /><br />As far as any engineering skills...well, I take a pretty direct route in recording and am using stone age gear (Cakewalk 9.0 primarily) so as far as EQ'ing and adding fairy dust with plug-ins, I just don't and that means my songs are not as shiny as they could be. At the moment I'm putting songs up that use backing tracks though I do have some original material (about 15 songs) tho not sure of copywrite etc so until then it'll be this mish-mash...apolgies for that! <br /><br />As a last note, I'm still finding it impossible to upload anything and so far Daze has been the guy helping me out but I'm sure he's going to get fed up with that! I tried to embed some videos from youtube but that didn't work so here is the main page url...<br /><br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/wahwah666">http://www.youtube.com/user/wahwah666</a> or simply type wahwah666 into the search engine at youtube.<br /><br />Cheers.<br />Chris.<br />
