2017 CB1100 EX First Ride Review
Guth, I was unable to watch your video until I got home, so I had my guitar-playing buddy watch it and give me his opinion. He usually hates everything, but he said your piece had a great arrangement, and the playing was spot-on. He said I definitely need to hear it.

I just watched the video. Yep, excellent stuff! Great in-the-pocket playing. Very comfortable, with interesting note choices, and cool little bends. Great tone, too.

Fantastic.

Hwy 35 in Oregon is right up there with Hwy 3 (IIRC) in southern British Columbia among a very small handful of favorite non-racy roads I've ever had the privilege to ride. The only way Hwy 35 could have been even better was if it had been like your video, and I'd had your guitar piece providing a soundtrack to the ride!

Your Strats in Austin stuff along with mickey's Joe Bonamassa mentions are right up my alley. As you can see in my e-mail address, SRV makes up half of it, with Guthrie Govan comprising the second half, and I've probably listened to Joe B more these past few years than all my other people combined.

I don't have any youtube vids like yours, and I rarely play acoustics. I'm almost exclusively electric blues /blues rock. SRV meets Joe B, with a dash of Al Di Meola and Jimmy Page, I suppose. Whatever it is, it's retarded.

Similar to motorcycles, but far worse, I've gone through countless guitars, looking for The One. In the end, after ditching everything, I've permanently settled on just the two basics...

The red '63 335 VOS is my Holy Grail guitar equivalent of the '17 CB1100 EX, and that white Suhr Classic Antique is my "keeper" Strat, after going through too many Strats to remember over the years. Always wanted a white Strat, either maple like Jimi's at Woodstock, or rosewood, like Jeff Beck's. Finally settled on the more vintage maple.
