What happens when 10 musicians are asked to improvise a unique take on a new song?

Paul Davids crafted a base groove that was fun and catchy, then invited 10 legendary musicians to improvise on the riff.

Everyone was invited to provide some details on how they approached their take on the riff and explain the gear they used to make their version.

It’s a great way to gain insight into the creative process and techniques used by master guitarists.

The tones used to shape the sound, pacing, and picking techniques can literally transform the feel of the song. The results make our skin tingle!
