youtube fretless/video collab

for anyone who might be interested, i noticed that the fretless guitar
is gaining a bit of acceptance and respectability as of late, and
that's a good thing I think! Anyway, this is a 1990 fretless guitar(two
actually, a Kramer and a Les Paul) piece of mine that Brazilian
DIYourselfer/composer Leo Alves Vieira made a little throw-off youtube
vid/collab for :

Very impressive. The hellish articulations I mean. :)

Awesome playing! I have had dreams where I could play something like that, but on a fretless Stick-like instrument (tapping and sliding with both hands).... I also like the abrupt changes in the composition.

The first time I heard your music (on cassette), Dan, I didn't
care much for it. But later, around the time the 'tuning punks'
page was put together, I realized your stuff is interesting,
finely-crafted, and good at what it does. I was particularly
taken with a track called "solo guitar 1".

But recently I've come to realize there's real genius in your
music. It's weirder than just about anything else out there
that still sounds like it belongs together. In fact, your
style sometimes brings to mind phrases like 'cut from a solid
black', and 'nothing added, nothing taken away'. Best of all,
your stuff is identifiable as yours. You've hit on something
all your own, I think. And in some ways you surpass many of
the acts you've recommended to me over the years (Thinking
Plague comes to mind). Bravo.

Dvorak typo there -- supposed to be "block".
