    Great video ! Just wanted to say Hi , and let you know how much I enjoy your videos ! I know I am old ( 71 ), been playing since 1963 . It is so nice to hear electric guitars without Super Distortion and gain . It is a pleasure to hear someone play with dynamics and good taste , and really hear all the notes and emotion . Keep up the good work and Rock on !!

Your playing clearly shows what's the difference between a good guitar player and an all rounded musician. Thank you for sharing your music!

    It always surprises me when I read comments on yamaha guitar videos that people don't seem to know of them or surprised how good they are. This goes along with what the team over at Milton Keynes say to me that even now yamahas still just have just a relatively little circle of followers.
    Which is mad when it's generally acknowledged by guitar players ;collectors,luthiers et al and those who just know guitars that the custom shop made yamaha sg2000 is widely regarded as one of the best if not the best electric guitar ever made.

    Awesome playing, brother! I work at a music shop, Hickey’s Music Center, in Ithaca, NY. We’re a Yamaha dealer and carry the Rev Star. The 502 is my favorite, at the shop. All models of the Rev Star are truly incredible. Definitely can’t go wrong - those 2 P90s sound just incredible, and surprisingly versatile. Great fretwork, indeed! Also - beautiful rendition of what you did with Desperado. Super cool, man. - John FitzGerald

    @stevesoldwedel 4 роки тому +3

    You are an inspiration. There is only one other guitarist whom I've found on UA-cam who makes me want to pick up my guitar. So much of what's on here is stuff for which I'm not suited, that I appreciate (at least sometimes), but to which I don't aspire: playing all the notes, as fast as possible. It's refreshing to encounter as tasteful a player as you are-an expert who is still a modest and affable human.
    It would be amazing if you'd do a little tutorial on palming the pick and switching between hybrid and flat picking. You do it so seamlessly, and to such great effect. The finger rakes are a sublime detail of your playing.
