When greasing up the chops backstage in preparation for a 3 hour @dreamtheaternet show, I find it helpful to make up short etudes that focus in on a singular technique. Here’s a quick one that features alternate picking through 16th note triplets.@ernieball @DiMarzioInc

While writing, I like to keep a selection of my @ernieball Majesty guitars on hand in different tunings so that I can experiment with which key a riff sounds best in. Can anyone guess what they are? @DiMarzioInc
