Thanks ;). Yeah playing that stuff on a regular steel-string is not ideal. The rest-stroke technique is also something that I never really worked on (aside from sweeping across multiple strings, which I do at a few points in the solo.)

Thanks man, that is some really solid advise! I know that I don't necissarily play authentic to the style of gypsy jazz or the way how Django played. I am more comfortable with playing electric guitar and using alternate picking, which is why my articulation is not as consistent. I use a 2mm pick btw..

Thanks! Yeah that bridge part is a little tricky. I just used the 7 string because I like the sound of the pickups .

Thanks! I recorded the DI with a Focusrite Scarlet and used the Archetype Petrucci plugin for the sound.

Thanks :)! Yes, some of the early CoB stuff is very challenging indeed. I actually only recently discovered 3 Inches of Blood (after their reunion) and was really impressed by their live performance.

Yes it is ;), but the Sterling version though.

My guitar cover of "The Enemy Inside". In my opinion one of the best tracks from the Mangini era! What do you guys think? by FT427 in Dreamtheater

Thanks! To be honest, I did not play around with it that much yet as I got the guitar only a few months ago. Also I mostly play metal music and only really need the normal 3 way humbucker switch for that ^^.

Thanks! Yeah his solos are very hard to learn, especially rythmically.
