America the Beautiful, solo guitar (arr by Dave Stryker)

Happy 4th, everyone! A year ago today, I caught this excellent arrangement shared by a guitarist who is criminally underexposed (I won’t say “underrated” because those in the know, know), NJ’s @dave.stryker . This year, I got inspired to try my hand at it - pun not intended and pardon the self-indulgent overplaying, not in the original (couldn’t help myself - hey it’s a holiday, that’s what we do…indulge). Guitar: @sadowskynyc ss-15, 2021 Amp: Fender Deluxe Reverb, Blackface, 1966 (actual)

Alex is one of the most complete guitarists in the world that I know. I believe that if he come across any other music he’ll learn it with ease. Alex you should explore the South American guitar, specially the Trova, I can think of Mercedes Sosa and people that accompany her on the guitar while she sings

[@JohnnyBeane]

Awesome Alex!

[@WhiteDevil-du8ne]

Smooth and tasty runs

[@mikenollett181]
