Cool instrument. I haven't seen it before. This would sound really cool on a psych band. Is there a band who uses Continuum?

I love the Continuum, it's an awesome instrument and I hope JR uses it on the next album.

Jordan is actually not a metal fan at all, he's a hardcore prog fan that only plays metal! That's probably why he has the shirt.

From his website, here are his favorite albums

Electric Ladyland - Hendrix
Free Hand - Gentle Giant
Dark Side of the Moon- Pink Floyd
Tarkus - ELP
Close to the Edge - YES
Trick of the Tail - Genesis
Court of the Crimson King - King Crimson

cooooooool.

There sure is a future for this instrument. I had always thought the intro in Octavarium was played by Petrucci with slide guitar. But no! It was Rudess with the continuum.

it's probably just me but the instrument looks so damn easy to play Embarrassed guess I'm horribly wrong, am I not?

what does such a thing cost anyway?
