Around the one minute mark, you start to play a faster flurry of notes, I couldn’t quite tell if those were a mix of 16th note triplets or septuplets or other rhythmic subdivisions but I’m curious how you developed the skill to so tastefully switch into those faster passages that help build the energy of the solo. Are you aware of the subdivisions you’re playing or is it all by ear?

I think the key is to focus on the noises coming out of the amp and let the fingers work it out for themselves. The other school of thought tends to focus entirely on the movement of the hands or pick minimising it (rick graham perhaps taking this to its limit) and the hands when they're playing look like they're very precise and doing the minimum movement and thus lots of fast notes can be created - especially if you use high gain, but the resulting sound is arguably not that great to listen to - it's not sloppy and uncoordinated but nevertheless its very monosyllabic. Maybe the best method of developing technique sits somewhere between the 2. The potential flaw with mostly being driven by the sounds you're creating and letting your arms and hands figure out how to play is that your technique may be less efficient and wastes energy or develops some bad habit like tension in your playing. to minimise that I'd suggest putting some focus making sure that you're relaxed and comfortable - like "that's the sound I want, now I want it to feel easy to play" - like Eddie with his big cheesy grin when he's playing something. But yeah, that would be my take. I doubt Chris has spent much time figuring out how to move his hands like that so if it looks complicated or difficult then it might be if you decided you were going to try and replicate it, but the thing to aim for is the tone and sound you want.

My wife bought me a Duo Sonic as my first electric guitar almost exactly a year ago. I had just accepted a new job after having tremendous struggles with my previous one, and she got it for me as a thank you for pushing through and finding a better job/situation. For that reason I will never ever get rid of the guitar because of its sentimental value, but it’s also just an amazing instrument. The 24” scale length plays incredibly fast and smooth, and the pickups sound fantastic. I initially thought it felt like a perfect blend of strat and tele (it’s a string through like a tele and the bridge pickup has some tele twang to it, the body is shaped like a strat, and the neck sounds more stratty), but after playing it over the past year I found that it definitely has its own distinct tonal flavor. Needless to say, it’s just fantastic I would highly recommend it to anyone!

Can definitely vouch for the Duo Sonic. I bought a H-S version about four years back and got a lot of fun out of it. Recently gave it to my 17yo as a first 'good' guitar and she loves it. Great for smaller hands with plenty of punch in the H (which also splits) while the S (neck) has a nice warmth without getting muddy.

Curiously mine has the two pickups out of fase in the middle position, which was the result of swapping the original bridge pickup with a new ona with the "wrong" polarity.

Many, many moons ago I built a Warmoth-wooded, Bill Lawrence-pickup'd semi-Mustang and, it's just sorta taken over. Double-bladed L500 humbucking bridge PU, S500 strat neck, separate T&V for each with the necessary switching to allow all combinations of the bridge PU coils (these combinations open the WORLD to you). It's a complement to a VERY similar Tele... You know, 25.5" = 009's, 24.75" = 10's, 24.0" = 11's. Yet I do agree fully with the other's comments, knowing HOW how to play the howling snot* outta a guitar counts more than all the rest put together. If the frets fret, the tuners tune, and the pickups pick up.... well then. *(You'll know.)

Epiphone Olympic. Pull that crappy pickup - put it aside save it for the vintage nerds, and get a Seymour Duncan drop in "real" pickup. I think he makes a humbucker that somehow fits into that tiny space. Other boutique pickup gurus also make drop in pickups for the Olympics and Melody Makers. Then you'll have a Kalamazoo made thinner Les Paul Junior with old wood. And the Fender Pro had a single 15 starting with the Woody era, on to the Tweeds and into the Brownface years.
