Great playing, and welcome to the forum!! Is that your home studio :D

I've been playing 19 years now.. do you play?

NOpe, it's my friends studio.. It's nice to get to use a studio whenever you wish.. I'm starting a Satch tribute band.. Wonder how the turnout will be ;)

Hey Mike!!!! Glad to see you here, although we do not know each other personally. You have been in my favorites in YouTube for a long time.
The songs that I have seen on your profile are reealy good so I hope you have a pleasent time here!

Thanks Fenix.. I haven't commented too much on my Youtube vids because of spamming issues going on. I don't know how many more ads I can stand for Male 'enhancement'.. ;) Tell me about yourself...

Nice playing. Welcome (although I'm new myself)

Excellent job Mike.

This is my first post here. Wasn't sure what kind of stuff to epect on this forum but this thread turned out to be a great place to start!

I always admire Joe's intonation seeing that he uses floating trems. For me, it's much more tricky to get all the notes sounding sweet. Have you tried using a FR trem for some of his stuff? When you do a country style lick where you bend one string while fretting another (like the 12th fret position, G major bit in Surfing) you have to compensate for the dropping pitch of the fretted note by bending it a bit too. It's so much easier to get it sounding sweet on a fixed bridge.

Keep it up! :clap:

Great Playing! :beer3:

not too shabby!
