Young Logan asked for a demonstration of pinch harmonics and a solo using mostly tremolo picking...he takes lessons with his dad and it was our last one yesterday, before their scheduled move date out of town, so I took a little extra time to humor him :) I've been using a shitty acoustic during lessons because it's already sitting out and have been too lazy to take the bird out of it's case, such was yesterday, so I borrowed Logan's Squire for a minute(they make those things a lot better than they used to!). I hadn't done any "shredding" or really much playing at all in about a week since tracking some long overdue solos for the new Locusta album(yes, it's coming out, probably early 2016, yes, we are still a band). The solo is by no means my finest hour, I thought it was terrible because I felt so rusty but despite some scalular(is this a real word? Make it so) issues and the fact that I never use tremolo picking in solo's anymore for some reason which I realized yesterday, and just that it's pretty sloppy and kind of whiffy in general by my own personal standards, there are a couple of cool lines that happened in there that I wasn't expecting to sound as good to me as they did when I listened back.

Shitty first takes of an intro to a new song, first time attempting to demo all instruments and vox since I was 18
