Glad to see this thread's still going :) I'm planning to go through and check out everything new in the next few days!
Also wanted to update since the album I was previewing released yesterday. Spotify/Apple/Bandcamp links are in my sig, and I'll be posting a couple playthrough videos in the...
Hardest one I've been able to do is probably Under A Glass Moon. Used to be able to play it pretty close a couple years back, but I've had a lot less time to keep my chops up since then.
These days? I can still play Tornado of Souls and The River Dragon Has Come probably 80-85% correctly...
For what it's worth, I just make music for fun -- and even with no ambitions of "making it", I know how much it means to me to have someone REALLY listen. This thread was a really good reminder that I can make someone's day by doing that for them, so it's my privilege to be able to do that! Very...

Let's give this a try - I'll keep myself to 10 because I want to write a bit about them too.
Cloudkicker - Beacons. Weirdly, I don't listen to that much Cloudkicker otherwise, but I really like this album as a whole because of its cohesion and the fact that it really seems to tell a story. I...
Throwing in a +1 for this. Haven't tried with the Helix specifically, but I picked up HHC2 recently for Axe FX use and the Zilla with Creambacks sounds unbelievably good.
