Monte Pittman, longtime guitarist for Madonna and Prong, released his solo album The Inverted Grasp Of Balance last year and it's one hell of a record rife with killer guitar work. Pittman has now launched a video for the acoustic-then-shred-loaded song "New Blood Keeps Us Alive," and here's what he had to say about the song and video.
"I discovered the Bravo Tip Or Pay app from performing for the Ultimate Jam Night at the Whisky A Go Go. I think it's something that could change every musicians' life. I've been selling tickets to my shows and selling merchandise at shows using their app. They've been coming with me on some shows and brought along Travis Colbert to film content. While in New York, I was sitting around playing my acoustic where we were staying and Travis started filming me. He said, 'We could make a video'. Once I saw what he filmed, we immediately started filming the 'New Blood Keeps Us Alive' video since that's the only track that has acoustic guitar on it. We have been filming for more videos coming out soon also."
