I love all the details about the production as I have lots to learn about that. Your new guitar sounds great and I was thinking that on your recent video too.
I was never really a singer for most of my life. I would join in with various singing, but never performed on my own. Then I started going to pub sessions a few (maybe 15?) years back and had to sing. Nobody has told me stop so far :)
Thank you my friend, I am happy that this post was informative and useful.
About the guitar, I searched for it like 5 years, until I could reach it, I even listened to high price guitars and I felt that this is even better than some of those high price guitars, for example I compared it with another model which it was Steve Vai's signature guitar, but it was thin body, so I chose this one cause it has a deeper and huge sound compare to that one.
About singing, I like every artists special characteristic of singing, and I know that you also have your character in singing. For example think Leonard Cohen and then Michael Jackson, then James Hetfield and Jim Morison, you see the names and then you remember character of each singer's voice.
Separated from that, it is great that you have time with your band and you perform in pubs I like that, I like to have some other musicians beside me to play songs together here in Iran. But it is hard to get together a band you know. 🙂
My last performances were with a new friend that I recently met, one time on side walks in North of Tehran as buskers, and another time in an official exhibition in south of Tehran, with a DIY drums made of trash and recycling stuffs and a guitar (we had a plan for a project ... long story) lol.
