Tasteful melodic metal shred for the Mayones/Duncan competition?

Hey guys. I made a contribution to the Mayones/Duncan competition. I could really use a good 7 string so we'll see if they like it or not haha. Would love some feedback. If it's tasteful and melodic I'll leave up to you but that's what I'm aiming for at least

If my 61 year old brain could process that many notes played in a measure, maybe I could tell you it was "tasteful and melodic", but all I can tell you is that was some serious Shred'n

I can tell you, that the way you had that mic'd , It was really cool to hear you slap the pkup switch. Makes you feel like you are in the same room
Liked !!!

(PS: Let us know what you think of those CLRs' in the Kemper booth, when you get back, and tell CK to get movin' on that foot controller )

Haha thanks man. It's a delicate balance, still sounding metal and then trying to incorporate that elusive thing we call taste Super glad you liked it and watched though!

Good !
Is that some kind of Tely with scalloped neck ?

Yeah it's a 52 reissue that I put a Kinman in the bridge and had the neck shaved down and scalloped. It was a baseball bat when I got it and it just hurt my hands playing that thing. Now it's more like a modern Strat.
