| 0:00.0 | Hey all, hopefully having a wicked one wherever you are today. |
| 0:03.1 | Today we're jumping into the album breakdown of hypersphere, |
| 0:07.6 | which is, well, I guess one of my favorite tracks on the album from the Divine King Project. |
| 0:14.2 | By the way, we're going to be jumping into watching this today together. |
| 0:18.9 | If you don't have all of the tab and notation for this entire album, you can just grab it free at scotsalbumbonus.com. Just go to scotsalbum bonus.com. You're able to grab it free there. See all of the stuff I was playing and we're going to be listening to this humongous solo that I played today. And I'm sure that're going to want to be able to see what's going on so |
| 0:39.2 | just go to scots album bonus.com you can check it out there now with hypersphere |

| 1:21.4 | So, and going into it, I really wanted to do a great job of telling a story with the solo and making sure that, |
