It is cool. The guy must have spent a fair bit of time getting that act down and he pulled it off pretty well. If Ed Sullivan were still around, Mr. Riffs would go on before Topo Gigio. :lol:

Litmus test - how many of those riff had you heard before?

Gotta say the Strat was a good choice, tone wise, for that exercise.

There were 3-4 I'd never heard, 5 or 6 I've heard but am not real familiar with. It was a history of rock music, in chronological order from the '50s to present. That would be my lifetime. :shock:

I've heard almost all of them. I was surprised at some of the choices given the abundance of materiel to choose from. Maybe his choices were made in part for segue-ability? Overall well planned out and well played. Must have had a modeling amp all preset with the necessary tones. Gotta give him credit, I don't think I can play anything for 12 minutes straight without hitting a sour note!

I agree - the length of that was impressive, and it did not seem as though he was looking at any kind of notes (although you could not see his eyes very often).

Very cool!
