*forehead vein intensifies*

[@bestboy897]

thats where the tone lies

[@adisolar]

The Midnight is one of the best bands in history of the synthwave. Amazing band. I'm so happy you know them.

[@LeonTodd]

@@adisolar been into them since their first EP. They're basically the riff from "Boys of Summer" if it was an entire genre.

[@mofous]

Somebody get in touch with Tim and Tyler and secure this man a guest solo on the next The Midnight album.

[@LeonTodd]

Oh dude, my head would explode!

[@HErsemerci]

Love the album Nocturnal by The Midnight sooo much

[@LeonTodd]

One of my absolute faves, vibe for days!

[@francescocagnacci]

Morning mate!

[@picksalot1]

Inspired "stank face" playing! 😎

[@dxaminal777]

It's like 'Ultraboss', but better!

[@Dooogz]

That tone at 2.12 sound similar to the EVH Spanked sound - I watched that concert over and over back in the day ...

[@wordfabstream8745]

Son... I am NOT disappoint!

[@metatron333ascension]

reminds me of satriani a little. But also has that 80s hair vibe whitesnake etc.

[@justsofrivolous]

Face tone at its best 😂👍🏻🎸

[@christosfragias592]

Le Brock's, Interstellar or Real Thing, or The Midnight's, Comeback Kid are great options. Cool sound you have

[@johnerodz7]

BRavo

[@nathancloud6344]

Awesome stuff!!!! Totally entranced with that tone!!! May I ask to what pickups you're using per the PRS being used? Keep up the great videos!!!!!!

[@stevenmgyori3826]

" A Beautiful Sunday Morning to You Brother!" Yes I have a " Happy Bug up My Butt!" Cool mix, Nice choices of Tones! Thanks for All You Share and Care! Be Well All!

[@LeonTodd]

Happy Sunday brother

[@SnappyJCM800]

Listening to The Midnight makes me want to learn to play the saxophone

[@LeonTodd]

hahaha same. I always try to transcribe the sax solos for new guitar licks

[@briandgr8st]

Hi Leon! Awesome Tone! This tone of yours is the reason why I bought a Fractal FM9. How do I download this preset for the Fractal FM9? Thank you

[@LeonTodd]

I think it's this one axechange.fractalaudio.com/detail.php?preset=9110

[@jonathanmoran3512]

I need a discotec in my living room

[@jevonz2364]

牛逼

[@Spaceman-jo5mz]

Wow!!.,..freakin awesome Do you have a tutorial for this? I watch you play, but still can’t figure it out…standard tuning? PS, to this day I’ve struggled to learn to play the guitar…I’ve quit playing for years at a time after hitting plateaus of playing the same thing over and over or just pure frustration….it’s a love hate thing Got inspired to play again during 2020 house arrest /( Covid lockdowns) Your videos are inspirational What a fantastic solo and groove!!

[@LeonTodd]

Thanks mate! Drop C here as this is my main guitar that i use with my band. If you haven't already there's a lot of these lines broken down in my "5 Minute Licks" series of videos, with more to come!

[@GenerationDown]

What is the exact model of the PRS used in this video?

[@LeonTodd]

This is an SC245 from 2008, the only thing I've changed are the tuners to locking Gotoh SD90's.

[@patolson4119]
