Today I felt like playing some guitar again and capturing it, as a few people had requested that recently, and I seem to be falling into love with playing again, having not for years.

So here I am playing one of my favourite pieces written for classical guitar, Dee by Randy Rhodes.

The late Randy Rhodes was a strong motivation for me a number of years ago when I was into some serious guitar shredding.

Randy was one of the guitarists for The Ozzy Ozborne band and some of his playing on the likes of Crazy Train and Mr Crowley is quite franky amazing.

Dee was on The Tribute album as, well a tribute to the amazing talent of Randy who sadly died very early in his life, a great loss to the guitar world.

The other day a friend said they'd like to see me strumming, and well, I had to think for a sec if I had any footage of me doing that. It turns out I don't really, I have some older tunes from various bands I've been in laying around but no video, well some very old VHS video with me oozing in my tight leather trousers!

However, I did find this recent clip which I shot with my phone a few months back when I was testing out the phone to blog service on The Phone Cam.

It's an E Major shredding moment, with a bluesy twist on the end.

It has now dawned on me I should make a few video clips of me playing a tune or two, I might make some classical ones, which is what my heart feels like playing these days, well maybe I do love shredding too, but I'm starting to love my nylon strings again.
