I said the next video would be more Stick-centric, and so here it is!
My solo, instrumental rendition of the classic Beatles song, "In My Life"

Now, maybe the next video will have a hairstylist and fashion director on staff... then again, maybe I'll just brush my hair and go from there ;-)

You couldn't tell from the camera angle, but I was smiling because my two cats (who don't usually get along) were having, for the first time, a peaceful interaction without hissing or grumbling.
Maybe the music had something to do with it?

I like it!

What is your setup?
I like the nature tone you get.

Quite nice. That's a piece I have on my list of 1st Ten to play.

I was wondering if you were going to go for it on the solo - and you did! Good job Flint!

Thanks for all the kind words, guys.

Skydiver, since you asked about my setup, I'm going to abandon all shame and share my secrets!
...Actually, nothing too exciting.
For this video, I put my 12-string bamboo with ACTV-2 in "mono" mode, through my go-to practice amp:

Crate GX15R, a small, solid-state, 15-watt amp with 8-inch speaker and real spring reverb!
It resides under an end-table in the living room. I keep the knobs at about 12 o'clock and sometimes, just for fun, I'll plug the headphones-out into my home stereo system and play through that.
Occasionally I'll crank the gain channel and go all Jimi Hendrix feedback style.

Not my stage setup.

Flint, this post about the Crate is the best proof that gear doesn't compensate for practice. It's all in the fingers and you sure have it! Thanks for sharing your music.
