Hi everyone!
I have a new video up. It's not quite my regular acoustic stuff but more into my forays into jazz. I'm playing my electric on this track. This particular video is of a guitar duo performance I did in college with my friend Shane Kelley. It's our interpretation of a minor blues called "Footprints" written by Wayne Shorter.
Enjoy!
