    You are the only one youtuber that i can see every time without torturing myself and having a GAS attack. Cause you use every time the same guitar and i love it cause you demonstrate pratically that having 200 guitars and trillions of expensive pedals doesn't make you a good guitarist.

    Listen to Brian May in "Another One Bites the Dust", and Robin Trower in "Somebody Calling", for examples of great rock/blues artists that effectively threw a bit of funk into the mix!
