This is a jam type of song where I'm soloing on guitar, bass and organ (with the AXiS) + some riffage.
I tried to make it sound like a certain band that's famous for it's use of the hammond organ... something with "purple"....
For anyone who's interested in the gear: Epiphone SG into an Orange Tiny Terror Fender Richie Kotzen Tele into a Cornford Roadhouse 30 Warmoth Strat into a BB Preamp into an Orange Tiny Terror
I'm trying out candy paint on an inexpensive DIY Harley Benton Single Cut guitar kit.
Watch the whole building process. I'm also doing a review of the kit, share what I've learned about using Candy Paint and play a guitar solo cover of "Don't cry" by Guns N' Roses.
The choice of colors is inspired by Christmas decoration.
Enjoy

Demo of a 5B5-01 Free-Way Switch (blade switch), which gives you all the Strat pickup combinations you could possibly every want (various pickups in series, in parallel etc.).
I'm playing various sound examples with 10 different pickup combinations.
Timestamps:
0:00 Combination Overview
0:13 Muted Clean
0:18 Chorused Stereo Clean
0:34 Neck vs. Neck+Bridge in Series Lead
0:42 Mid Gain Lead with Piano
1:10 Rock Riffage
1:22 Yngwie High Gain
1:35 Jazz Clean
1:46 Jazz Single Notes
2:55 Regular Clean (All Positions)
4:03 Funky Single Notes (All Positions)
It's pricey, but it appears to be of high quality. The installation is almost as easy as wiring up a normal 5 way switch.
Specs of the Stratocaster:
Warmoth chambered Swamp Ash Strat with Flame Maple Top
Maple neck, Pau Ferro fretboard
Bareknuckle Pickups Apache Set
Gotoh EV510T-FE bridge with Brass Saddles (2 just happen to be chrome plated, but they're also made of brass)

68 - Suhr Badger 18
39 - Custom Brown Sound Model

I hope you enjoy. I listened to the critique of my last video and made less stupid faces this time ;-)
Music is written (of course) by the amazing Bill Whelan.
All real instruments played by me. Orchestra sounds, percussion and drums are programmed by yours truly.
The guitar amp is a Ceriatone 5F4 Super Amp (clone of a Fender 1947 Super Amp)
The guitar is a Shamray (famous Russian custom shop), it's based on a PRS Singlecut. Absolutely top notch guitar, I love it.
The plugins that I used:

I figured out an easy way to repair/hide/remove a scratch on a guitar finish. Enjoy
Works on Nitrocellulose and Polyurethane (or probably any finish).

My recording of a jazz standard: "One Note Samba" or "Samba de uma nota" by Antonio Carlos Jobim in 1959.
It's a bossa nova.
Equipment:
No name mini acoustic
AV Custom Fanned Fret 6 String Bass with Delano Pickups
I programmed the amazing percussion with a plugin named Latigo by Wizoo.
I have many unfinished videos, that only need a little more work. It shoudn't take forever now, bear with me.
