Hi all ...

Tristian,
I was curious what gauge string are on that Luke. The Piezo tone is pretty good but it sounds kind of like they don't have punch. Also wanted to ask you if you are influenced by Shawn Lane? I like your approach to pentatonic playing its very Shawn Lanish.

Hi brett...I use super slinkys (9 /42) ...but I think the compression on the piezzo sound " broke" a lot of the dynamic...I have to check that.

I was influenced by two guys : michel cusson ( uzeb )an incredible guy from montreal and by luke, of course...

lane was a genius...

Tristian,
I used to play 9-42 because it was easy to get a wide vibrato.People likened my vibrato technique to George Lynch and Zakk Wylde. Over the past ten years though I have been getting more and more drawn towards Jazz and Fusion players like Alan Holdsworth and Frank Gambale, Scott Henderson.I am using 10's because I like the feel of tighter strings. It allows me to pick faster play sweep arpeggios faster ect,ect. Plus the tone is alot beefier too. I am actually thinking of going up to 11's or 12's but I have to ask someone in here if that would be too much stress on the neck.

Great clips Tristan! (as always)

What were you running the piezo through? Direct into the computer? PA?

JEEZE TRISTAN!!!!

You are such a BAD A$S!!!

You make me want to buy a Luke!!!!

If anyone can do right on the Luke aside from Luke himself, it's you!!!
Your playing (like Luke's) is full of technique and emotion. Great job!
