Darren Stroud. Sweepercise. SICK! - Live - 2/16/13

[mightywarlock]

Just got home from a Powertribe gig (Darren Stroud's band) down the street from my house (literally took me 5 minutes to get there)...
This was simply mesmerizing...and inspiring.
And he's even playing on an amp that HE built, through a little Marshall 1x12 cab, and what looks like one if his custom guitars.
Stay tuned to the end of the song, it was kinda funny when he flipped the guitar at the end and he got unplugged hehe...

Shot some video and felt I had to share and post this.

They called it "Sweepercise"!

thanks guys, glad you dig the video! Funny story about the guitar spin - in the mid 90's I was in a band and me and the other guitar player would flip our guitars at the same time (i know cheezy, but people seemed to dig it lol) - this one time, last song of the nite, the other guy totally smacks himself in the back of the head with his guitar, goes down on the ground in the fetal position and then started rolling around holding his head. I still get a chuckle thinking about that
