Hi !
There is nothing fancy here, just something played with the bridge pickup, I am not afraid of being bashed for my sound and my playing.

Sounds fine to me. IMHO playing on the bridge pickup is sort of like a trumpeter using a Harmon mute- another sound, provides a particular feel, like everything else don't overdo it. Sort of like the edge of distortion providing a sax-ish sound.
It's interesting that on some of my guitars I can't find a tone I like using the bridge pickup, on others I can.

There are bridge pickups?

Yea I’ve seen pick-ups available under a bridge in Philadelphia many times. Used to in New York but I guess they’ve gone to no bridge pickups.
oh, wait...

The tone is really good IMO. Nice and fat, and would probably sit well in a band mix. But the playing is very hard to comment on. In spots, it sounds somewhat together, but in other spots you just seem lost in the form and unsure of what to play. If those videos are good a representation of your ability to play a straight up version of the tune, then I think you need a lot of work, starting with the basics of technique, time and grasp of form, melody, and harmony. OTOH, if they are your deliberately and carefully crafted outside and eccentric interpretation, that might be a different story. I honestly can't tell.

With chords it is not so fun !!!
It sounds the way it sounds, just listen to the half of the video because at the middle of it there is a big danger, we use to calling it a guitar solo.

Hi !
I shared this in another thread, this is another guitar. There is no amp, I really liked the sound.
This guitar is supposed to play metal.
I put flatwound strings, except for the low A.
I thought it could be interesting.
