Antonio's Montecristo 3 string, some orginal riffing

Testing out Antonio's new guitar. Specifically demonstrating its capability for fretted playing :) Some original riffs I've been working on, hand wound pickup, Bugera V5 amp on 0.1 watt mode, some overdrive.

I apologise for the state of my clothes. My daughter thought it would be hilarious to paint on me earlier.
