    Don't miss the jam at about 6:15. I was literally just playing random chords and Jakko was ripping over them. It was a really cool moment for me. I overdubbed some synth parts when I was editing the video to add a bit more atmosphere, so I hope you liked it and enjoyed the video with the awesome Jakko Jakszyk!

    My dad played guitar, primarily. After he dad died, I got his mandolin & instruction book on how to play mandolin.
    Because mandolin tuning & NST are the same (5ths) for four strings, I decided to just apply the mandolin techniques to NST to start wrapping my mind around it.

    This is Allan Holdsworth’s tuning chord. He used that right from the beginning. It’s an E major 9 chord by the way. There are many live videos of Allan playing this chord. The notes in that chord are: E B F# G# D# E from low to high. Jakko mistakenly calls the D# note an Eb. There is no Eb note in an E major 9 chord, that note is D# and functions as the major 7th of the chord.

      I think he has a great voice for the band. At least for live shows, it's great. It's a bit raspy, so it fits with the improv theme of the band. Also, he can put in some lungs as well as emotion (love to hear him singing Easy Money), navigating well between the more explosive and quiet parts of the songs.

    Great player but the art work on the guitar does not speak to me I am sure it is wonderful memory from his years of playing So where did you have surgery to repair the ligaments in your fingers from that first cord. He grabs your pinky and says "goes here mate" as you are near falling off the couch. I think that is the first time I ever seen you struggle. Classic
