Man … I hit “play” for the guitar, but your playing genuinely brought tears to my eyes. Please always keep doing what you’re doing, it’s rare to stumble across something so beautiful by happenstance at just the moment one needs it most, but you did that for me tonight, so thank you. That’s a genuine gift you have, and I’m glad you have it: the world is a better place for it.
You ´re a real magic man when i`m back from work after a bad day i watch your videos ,playing and cool guitars imediatly my mood get´s better thank you .
Ohh my... I just can repeat a post of a viewer, if someone asks me: how could you imagine your best possible guitar playing? My answer: like R. J. Ronquillo!!! Es el mejor !!
These Hallmark guitars are so nice- I have a Deke model, couldn't be happier. Thanks to you RJ, I now want one of these!!! I wonder what the wife will say.....
Thanks for being a part of that, You were an awesome lead guitarist.I cant wait to get the DVD, but for now I have the 'wipe out' in which you did some lead guitar, its on youtube. Thanks for being a part of the tribute RJ
Holy Tacos...ran across this by total accident...awesome old video of yours R.J.! I remember seeing them several times early on in their careers at the Berkeley Square and a couple other venues around the Bay Area...so killer to hear you playing one of my all time favorite guitar tunes! 😎🎸🐦🤘
Beautiful playing. I play that song, but with a fraction of the embellishments you've added. I'll be circling back to this video since your rendition lends itself so beautifully to a solo version of this song. The Hallmark site brought me here, that guitar reminds me of something I saw in the catalogs back in the late '60s. It's uber cool looking.
You are honestly one of my favourite guitar players in the world. Very tasteful and making difficult things look very easy all the time. p.s. that link to your band's demo is broken, could you point us to your music or have you a page?
Very nice! One of my faves to play - though I'm too much of a banger to play it that well. Have the exact same model of Stradette. Doing the Hallmark site has its perks ;)
wow, thats amazing! The Tone is freaking Awesome! what pedals or is that just the pick up? are you able to share the backing track? thanks for your time!
Would buy a CD of your covers in a heartbeat.
+1 !
+1
I agree Johnny, fabulous player I keep telling people :)
Ohhhh the drippy goodness nothing like that drippy reverb and tremolo transports me to another place. Rj rules

Really enjoyed this one RJ great tone and a ton of twang on a classic tune
Thank you so much Kathy, it was a pleasure playing at Deke's festival. Your father made some of the awesome-est guitars!
this guitar looks like bc rich from the sixties.
BC Rich wasn't around in the 60s.......
Your videos are reminding why I love to play
Fantastic!
Woa... Awsome!!!!
Beautiful job RJ-you are so talented-can't beat a Stradette-Bill Gruggett would be proud to hear you on that
Great work as usual! Always a pleasure to listen to you. Thanks.Now I'm going to watch this 5 more times to learn it. ; )
dope guitar, dope guitar player, dope song and a dope t-shirt!
beautifully played
Sends me!!!!! Lovely playing.
Outstanding!
wow what a production
nailed this.
this is beautiful!
I've come to the conclusion that R.J. has UTube demo'd, every guitar ever created. And all of them are great, including quite a few of the guitars.
Superb rendition and demo. Your demos must raise the profile of Eastwood immensely because they are all good in my humble opinion.
Thanks
That thing sounds incredible....
Holy Tacos...ran across this by total accident...awesome old video of yours R.J.! I remember seeing them several times early on in their careers at the Berkeley Square and a couple other venues around the Bay Area...so killer to hear you playing one of my all time favorite guitar tunes! 😎🎸🐦🤘
Mmmmm....the intoxicating flavor of uncanny tone. Well played, player.
Great to hear, i'd love to see a video of that 60 Custom.
This is great. I'm especially impressed by the improvisational touches you added to the song. You've got genuine talent.
Beautiful playing... very inspiring!
Excellent playing. Thanks for the video. I enjoyed it.

You're a really great guitarist RJ, very soulful, and i love the tone you are getting with all these guitars, thank you for the reviews :-)
I love hearing great clean guitar music ! I agree with Johny Guerrero, I would by a CD of you doing various guitar covers !
Thanks! I don't have the Deluxe but there are a few videos on my channel with the Tuxedo standard and one with a Bigsby.
Very good sound of this guitar 👍👍👍
Sublime.
Awesome.
Very nice version.
Beautiful tone!
beautiful
Another favorite, love mom
Wicked Guitar playing.
This is awesome. You are a fantastic player. Found you by checking your demos on Eastman tenor guitars.
I'd love to get a copy of that backing track, noodle all night! Ace version thanks.
I want to be in your band!! Great playing, amazing stuff man.
Such an amazing tone man!
"RJ" - The Tone Killer Bravo My Friend Bravo..!
More RJ!
PLAYED THAT beginning perfect
Wow!!! Hanep!!!
Awesome, mate. Really good tone
It's getting annoying, R.J.. You never choose a tone I don't like :-) and your playing is flawless, as usual.
R.J. Hopefully I'll some after a show this weekend. I'll get some up for you. It;s such a great guitar.
absolutely sweet fella, i want that guitar!
bandmaster188 has a very very nice tremolo system with roller bridge designed by Bob Shade the Hallmark owner who worked with Bill Gruggett.
The Lobster would be a good name for this guitar.
Que bonito sonido !!! 😊 Y tocas bien !😊❤
P90s? Nice cover! Been covering that song since it came out. I love playing in a minor tonality with thick delay.
Fantastic guitarist! Would you be able to give a demo or play a song with the Airline Tuxedo Deluxe?
excellent..
Wow! IMore please!!!
buenisimo!!!!
greeeeaaat!
great cover. I'd love to know how your gear is set up to produce this tone: settings/etc.
Wicked EC t-shirt!
I'm with Johnny Guerrero, R.J. put your covers on a CD and sell us a copy! Great Stuff!
Nicely done. Wish the song was played till the end

Mosrite/Hofner mashup; The violin cutouts are for if you want to bow it.
This is great!. I do a HIM cover of this that I have to do but love the orignal reverb drench vibe. You push the boundary a bit...
He's like a Hispanic Knopfler. Just phenomenal.
Very nice! One of my faves to play - though I'm too much of a banger to play it that well. Have the exact same model of Stradette. Doing the Hallmark site has its perks ;)
Fantastic playing as always RJ. How is the set up on this instrument?
wow, thats amazing! The Tone is freaking Awesome! what pedals or is that just the pick up? are you able to share the backing track? thanks for your time!
It's so ugly it's beautiful. I fucking WANT one of these things!
