Fantastic....... hi from Italy

[wsriker1]

Thanks!....back at you from mainland U.S.A.

Hi Wayne, I really like your style, swinging and rocking at the same time! I don't see too many people playing like that these days. I like those old guys like Louis Jordan, guitarists like T-Bone and Charlie Christian. That's something I'm working on right now.. If you have a minute, check out my solo guitar version of Take the A train. Any feedback will be much appreciated. Cheers!

@RnRWelfare Thanks RnR! Yes, like you, try to use all influences from all genres,

and then mix & match. Left a very positive reply,on your fine work, over on your site.

Now a Gibson Howard Roberts Fusion model...just posted a few clips,using it in backing up a couple of singer/songwriters.

Was is FA700? What do you use now?

[wsriker1]

Thanks weskoki,always an honor coming from a keyboard player,particularly in the jazz world...yes,great guitar,unfortunately stolen out of the back of my truck in 1989.

Was an L-5 Ibanez,bummer,but great tone and versatility,particularly thru the Twin Reverb with JBLs that I was using at the time.

Great solo,nice Ibanez...
