Who can spot the "woo" in the background? So much respect for Danny We gave him ONE listen of this track. This is a warts-and-all take, which he also breaks down in the release. Stream it here: jtcguitar.com/jtc-plus-exclusive

This is what you guys have been making Guthrie do for years right?

[@JTCGuitar]

We'd normally give Guthrie some info, such as chord structures etc. He'd then get a few listens and we'd pick the best take. Normally first or second take, sometimes not. The difference here is we gave Danny no info, and then didn't let him do anything again.

[@aadityakiran_s]

@@JTCGuitar Hmm... Any behind the scenes for that?

[@lovescarguitar]

​@@JTCGuitarat about 1:33-1:34

[@JTCGuitar]

yeahhhh. Glad I kept that in!@@aadityakiran_s

[@user-yq1yv3rr5y]

Cool concept. Would love to see more spontaneous improv solos rather than perfectly composed solos.

[@dannydelacruzguitar6519]

Right?! Thanks dude

[@Tramaineguitar]

Insane! 🔥

[@JTCGuitar]

You realise you will be doing this in April?

[@Tramaineguitar]

Hahah thanks

[@tonyhewitt1345]

Great sound

[@dannydelacruzguitar6519]

Thanks!

[@AllanGildea]

Fab, wow!

[@dannydelacruzguitar6519]

Thank you!

[@AlaskaDavidW]

Anyone saying this isn’t a great first take solo would film themselves 20 times before posting their “one take” online.
Awesome solo!

[@JTCGuitar]

Exactly. We get **** for that exact thing. Then we post the thing people ask for and we get the same BS!

[@dannydelacruzguitar6519]

That's it! Just abit of fun and a great way to find a starting point to writing a solo!

[@martinoriz7524]

That was 😯

[@dannydelacruzguitar6519]

Thanks!!

[@chrisdaviesguitar]

Nice chops dude .

[@dannydelacruzguitar6519]

Cheers!!

[@raulbargas6060]

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@friedrudibega6384]

Great playing. However, I was expecting a different and more challenging backing track. Really cool solo though and great tone.

[@JTCGuitar]

This is ONE listen. We wanted to make it realistic as well as fun. Glad you dig it!

[@dannydelacruzguitar6519]

Thanks alot! Myabe we'll try some more complex ones next time. Cheers for the kind words!

[@danielhall7996]

Very efficient alternate picking technique…hardly any movement at all even at full speed!

[@dannydelacruzguitar6519]

Thanks so much!

[@daviddranikov4388]

0:49 to 1:10 empty and nothing. The guitarist didn’t come in, and he just pushed in without any idea at all.

[@dannydelacruzguitar6519]

Not sure what you mean... I played softer during the soft part and increased dynamics to match the chorus... It's just just abit of fun buddy. Enjoy your day!

[@TheSpiritCarriesOn]

Meh

[@thiagomiguel551]

boring...
