I guess the man is back in town. Great playin' as usual. Auditioning for Stevie Wonder or what?

Hi, thanks so much! I am back yes, unfortunately no trip to DC anytime soon.
I was kind of practicing in the dark/dimmed lights and was too lazy to turn on the lights when it got really dark(camera was rolling).

Fantastico, Inspiring and all of the usual superlatives from me Mr. Bear!
Love hearing all of the ideas you can effortlessly spin on the vamp- great motifs and ensuing development! Love these Holdsworthian fusion jaunts that you have been posting up as well. Like most- I'm terrified to practice in the light- darkness would have me running or well I'd play either all atonally or resort to making fumbling noises on one note Exceptionally tasty and pro as always!

Thanks so much for the kind words, I greatly appreciate it.
I tried to use a bit more motifs here, usually when playing fusion I focus more on longer lines. I think a mix of longer lines and shorter rhythmical motif's can be an interesting approach. I'll look into it even more.
Thanks again!

Damn Jostein, so freaking hip!!!!! You are the man. As much as I love Holdsworth, and your phrasing sounds like him a lot at times, I prefer this/you. I can follow it much easier especially with the blues feel in there. Much more grounded for me, but still out with a lot of pull back and forth which I LOVE!!! Great stuff!! I could only wish!!!! Keep them coming.

Wow, thanks so much man! I certainly would take Allan's playing over me own any day. I appreciate this and really like your new clip.
