That 11-stringed ”ax” of mine … Well, in short: That 11-stringed guitar is my "main ax" since -98. The guitar was made by luthiers on my commission and from my performance requirement.

(I hope you like my 11-stringed guitar rendition of Allan Holdsworth’s tune Non Brewed Condiment, the Atavachron-album version.
This video is only a video-camera recording with a stereo microphone carefully positioned in the room, with carefully tested signal checks form the surrounding sound sources the loud-speakers and the guitar-amp – no more recording preparations what so ever. In the sound ”picture”, Allan’s Synthaxe seems to be panned from full left to full right. My guitar is positioned in the ”middle left” appr. ’between 10 and 11 on a clock board’.
I do not wanted to let my guitar dominate in the room ”mix”; that would sound weird and ”uncomfy” to me, especially when playing along the tune. Instead, I wanted to enjoy some kind of feeling of ”playing with the great guys” – almost the feeling of playing solo-duet with the great Allan. haha Therefore, I let my guitar blend in into the music real nice, in balance with all the other instruments. Well, If I can hear my guitar loud and clear with my trippel tinnitus and impaired hearing, then you guys can hear my guitar as well, even if your impaired hearing are as bad as mine … or better. Period!

My purpose of this video is – of course – to perform, to make my act, as an artist. And as an artist, there has to be a show, right?)
But my purpose is also to hopefully inspire other guitar-players who are struggling in one of the most demanding guitar-”schools” ever: the Holdworthian-”school” – a never ending education for every guitar-player.
