Here's my entry for the Andy James guitar solo contest. Used my Ibanez JS1000 straight into my Blackstar HT-5 with the matching 1x10 cab, miced with a Shure SM-57, and a bit of delay added afterwards in Reaper. Apologies for the poor video quality - lighting in here is pathetic!

EDIT : Huge thanks to Andy James, as well as James and Owen Edwards. I'm delighted to have won!

Pure and simple this is one of the most sophisticated and tasteful use of guitar technique I've ever seen. It makes the Blackstar demonstration look like a droning trick show. Here you have everything from whammy tricks to volume dynamic. Well done, sir. And Patton Oswalt is not so bad a comparison.

Not that I don't like electric guitars, but this music just gives me a headache...and: no, I'm not jealous. Too much guitar acrobatics and not enough music for me.

@shinsammy Can't tell you the settings I'm afraid, because this was almost a year and a half ago, but I was plugged straight in to the amp - no boost pedals/overdrives etc.

@kirkhetfieldtrujillo If Patton Oswalt saw your comment, he would be offended =/ Wonderful playing! I mean it in every way possible.

@Ipwnatbassforaliving Yep. 3 or 4, according to my parents. Didn't take it seriously till I was about 8 though... That sounds so strange - taking something seriously when you're 8 years old :D
