This is a guitar cover of their song Kissing The Shadows, as there are no good quality video/audio recordings of this tune.
Alexi Laiho was the lead guitarist and vocalist for the Finnish Melodeath band, Children of Bodom. In 2020 he passed due to long-term alcohol abuse. This song is off their 3rd album Follow The Reaper. Alexi wrote this sometime the between ages of 19-21.
Enjoy! :)
This is not the ideal LIVE video but its the one with the best audio.
Probably would not be the easiest to break this down even if you could see
the audio and video synced...but tell me this is not insane!!?
I saw an article on Pat's passing yesterday. Never had heard of him. "Jazz guitarist Pat Martino, a virtuoso twice over, dies at 77." I thought, "twice over?" what does that mean? I go on to read his story.. "in 1980 when Martino suffered the near-fatal seizure that left him to rebuild his memory and his career from scratch" "Following his surgery in 1980, Martino spent several years relearning the instrument, listening back to his own recordings and struggling with depression and the grueling process of recovering his skills." RIP Mr. Martino.

Hey Michael, I saw your reaction to Tin Pan Alley and thought this was another SRV tune you might enjoy helping your students pick apart!
