Yeah Don! Woo!
Beyond that, Rick's delivery with this entire video is on point. So many guys are trying to hype everything and be way over the top. I loved everything about this vid and gave it the full 15.
Thanks for sharing.

Ha, that's great! Coming from Rick Beato, that means a lot. Nice to see Elliot Easton get some props too.
Of course there's thousands of great players out there. At least I'll never be overrated.

Congrats donr !! And well deserved! Wow, great trip down memory lane. Funny how most of those are imbedded in my psyche. Great stuff! |

That was fun. “Faith, Hope, Love” was one of the first CDs I ever got. Amazing record. Lots of great choices in that list, including our own donr of course. Sustained feedback note at the end of all that frenetic spookiness is absolute perfection. |

There wasn't a single solo on that list better than DFTR. I was surprised the solo for Donnie Iris's 'Ah Leah' was left out. The king of rakes! |

Footnote: That sustained note at the end of the "Reaper" solo was augmented by a tape loop of it running during the mix down and faded up. The machine playing the loop had a piece of splicing tape on the capstan so you got that flutter effect on the note. I think that was Shelly Yakus' idea. It sustains almost 8 bars. No digital editing in those days.

I had a '68 SG standard which I'd put a stop tailpiece on. A Music Man 4x10 combo. No pedals. There's a Warren Huart video with Shelly Yakus where he talks about how he recorded that guitar. It was cranked pretty good, and I was in the room right next to it.
The signature guitar lick track was an ES 175 Gibson with two humbuckers, both pickups, favoring the bridge. Same amp, run a bit cleaner. I could never get that tone live. Guitar wasn't mine. : )

Edited to add: My favorite solo of yours is from Don't Turn Your Back. It's just..... cool. |

I had this Music Man - 65 410, and it was definitely a step up for me from a Hilgen Basso Grande... one of the ones that got away... Great example to share with people that diss solid-state amps (MM had solid state preamp, power tubes) |
