Swinging in style

First of all, really sorry for not commenting on any of the blogs, I was having exams all this days and I couldn't even lift my head. Now everything is cool and life is back to normal, although not for long :(

Anyways everything has been going smoothly, what are you guys up to? I have been fixing a lot of guitars theses days. it's really fun to mess with guitars, at least fir me :P I received a Fender Stratocaster for repair. I have been enjoying fixing it since it is the first time I got to mess with a Fender.

It's 70's Strat and it's amazing. it's purple in color. Look really majestic. It's a great guitar to play old licks. The pickups are amazing and it has a great feel.










I thought for a change I'd play something this time. I love playing guitar and this time it's on a Fender. it's actually a dream come true :D This guitar was fully refurbished overhauled by me. So if you need to fix any guitars you know who to call :D


Here is me playing sultans of swing by Dire Straits. I recorded this with Kalu Kella, sound is not that great. I'm playing to a backing track :D

                              

Some of the hammer ons and pull offs are not clear. The phone failed to pick them up.
I hope you enjoyed the post. oh yeah, and sorry i look terrible :S


Cheers!

    This was A-MAAAA-ZING! :) You should do some improvised stuff without a backing track, for your next recording... :D
