    Hey Raphael, 🙂

    Great jamming! I like your tone here too. What are you using to get that tone? Also, what are you using for reverb, because I like the size of the environment that you put the guitar in. IE: It’s not too big or small, and it’s not too wet or too dry! Excellent! I love your guitar too! There’s a 6-string MM Petrucci Model where I work, and I’ve tried it a few times, and it’s AWESOME! I wish I had the bank to afford it! 😉 😮

    So I don’t have my instrument out right now, but I thought I heard a lot of Dorian and Pentatonic Minor. Is that right? Also, there’s the “B-Section” which modulates, and you did a nice job of hitting that key-change every time around! Later on (at about 3:15) the accompaniment changes a lot, and it remended me of a Vai/Satch-type “Lydian-vamp?” Is it? If I’m right, did you go straight Lydian there, or did you “jazz it” with some “Lydian-b7” Melodic Minor Mode? Anyways, whatever you did, I liked it! (LOL!) 😎 😉

    Hey Bill!!!
    Thanks for your support again!
    My tone; MM petrucci 7, Mesa boogie Roadster, G force (here some delay and noise gate, but no reverb) and 5 fingers ; )
    I play dorian on D and then on F dorian, but in the “distorsion” section i play some minor melodic and double harmonic minor (hungarian mode) with some chromatism (i tried loool) i’m not a jazzman but i try to “colour” my playing cause i love players like Greg Howe, Brett Garsed, Alex Hutchings, Tom Quayle (give your impression please!!! 🙂 ), and many more! Thanks again for your support Bill! see you soon on the forum!

    Sympa ta jam!Dommage pour le son,on ne distingue pas bien le son de ta guitare à cause de la résonance de la pièce,tu devrais essayer de te brancher via une carte-son sur ton ordi afin de pouvoir gérer les volumes et éviter la résonance de la salle.
    Enfin,tu as bon gout!Par contre,je trouve que tu n’utilises pas du tout la technique que tu nous as jusqu’à présent démontrer dans tes autres videos(alternate à fond ,etc,,,)en jouant par dessus les titres de DT.Peut-être que ça manque justement de passages un peu plus nerveux,c’est assez linéaire,avec le technique que t’as c’est dommage.

    Bravo!@ +!

    I’m impressed by your playing. Got some awesome lines in there man.

    I just can’t hear it too well! 🙂

    Thats a great guitar! Unfortunately the mix has your sound a bit low. Come on! Increase it up next time 🙂

    Can you share your left hand legato exercises with us? 😀

    Great playing!

    Hey Raphael.

    I loved this! Great time feel and lines coupled with a great sense of phrasing and vibrato. As Bill said, you hit the changes really nicely and I feel you used your considerable technique to your benefit moulding really interesting lines.

    Great tone too. You seem to really enjoy improvising and look very relaxed too which is a really good sign. I think you’re more open to play what you’re hearing when you’re relaxed.

    Nicely done! I’d love to hear more!

    All the best dude,
    Tom

    Hey Raphael, 🙂

    I can’t wait to hear you jam over Tom’s Melodic Minor backing. I’m sure you’ll fare better than I did! 😮 (LOL!) 😉
