As everyone said, your playing and tone are both great, and the overall sound quality of the video is excellent as well. I found myself wishing the camera was positioned more toward the center of the stage so I could see the guitar better, but I realize that a camera in the middle of the floor might not be the best thing at a gig.

Congrats on the new Wolf, appears to be a home-run!

Wonderful guitar! Glad you are happy with it! Your playing is great!

Leo's attention to detail is impeccable. It's got a real strong acoustic tone, that's always a deciding factor for me with electric guitars and I was really happy that this one has it as I didn't get my hands on it until it came in the mail. I couldn't be happier.

Yeah, I could've gotten away with putting the camera in the middle of the floor for at least this set, it got a little crazy in the second set. I need to rope someone into running the camera and set up a second so I can do some editing. Our poor keyboardist got cut out too, I thought I had it pointed to get everyone in frame - I failed. I'm going to do a video review of the guitar as soon as I have a no kid and no neighbor night.

What did you use to capture the audio and video?

It's a Canon Vixia. It was right at $1,000. The university I work for bought it for me for work. It shoots a nice picture and has an audio setting for live music that seems to work well. I've got a cheaper Vixia too that I can use for a second angle. Not quite as nice but probably less than half the price.

Very nice as always tcsned!

If I could figure that one out, I'll let you know. I think I need a big NIH grant

I help profs build better online classes, I'm working on proposals to teach a history of baseball and a history of rock and roll classes.

Excellent all around. Your tone, the recording and your band is tight. You're invisible key board is really good as well. If a recording sounds good you know it was even better live.

Thanks!! We have a lot of fun doing this, adding David on keys has been a big boost . . . even though he is invisible

I might as well add the rest of the video I have from that set . . .

I've enjoyed what I've heard on these videos. The band sounds great. You and the Wolf sound just right. Kudos to the rhythm guitarist, I like her style of play, very percussive and driving.

Wendy is awesome, we've been playing together for almost 30 years. She approaches guitar in a very piano-like way (her mom is a piano teacher). Not really all that Bobby-like but not strummy-girl style or tradition rock rhythm style either. Whatever it is, I think it works.

I just listened to China > Rider - very nice!!!!
