John Petrucci - Damage Control (cover) - Live at Pasilyo Bar and Grill

I was part of "Leadista 2: A Night of Laguna's Finest Guitarists" last Thursday July 21, alongside sirs Fidel de Jesus and Leevon Cailao, as well as other talented musicians from my home province of Laguna.

This serves as my first public performance of this legendary Petrucci instrumental, and also one of the reasons why I decided to build AP2. I decided to turn on the ++ mode on the amp for this one for more saturation and "grit." Some off-color notes were played due to slight stage fright - I haven't played solo in a while after all - but overall, I am pleased with how well I did much of the tune.

Thanks again to sirs Varrie Zantua, Poleng Faustino, Leevon Cailao, and bro RJ de Guzman for organizing the event and inviting me, and lifelong bros James Julius and James Daniel Omalin for coming to see me play and taking videos!

Thank you as well to my family, especially my mom who consented to me performing despite it being her birthday weekend. Love you guys!
