Hey Marty! You "recently" switched from your Dean Markley to D'dario strings. What's the reason for that?: Cool-money endorsement (logical), more tension requirements, a new tonal change...? Thanxs! and... THANK YOU FOR MUSIC FOR SPEEDING!!!!!!!! ah!, Just another 2 shoots: 1)-in the album credits appears Richie Kotzen. Is a friend of you this incredible musician?... What a monster!!!. 2)-Is the "Kelly" shape a design of you? (I really love her) Best Wishes to you, Marty, and Best luck with your new album. Luis from Spain.
