"As You Once Held Me, I Shall Hold You Too" Gullett Challenger, '68 Princeton Reverb, Formula 55

Thank you to viewers new and old! Please comment, like, and subscribe. You keep me inspired.
Thank you to all of the amazing people on KZbin keeping me inspired with their great playing.
An old song that I wrote for my band Red Cloud (West). The lyrics were inspired by a book called Pillars of the Earth. I will always fondly remember my dear old friend Shayla Rose, who loved this song and always smiled when we would play it. I miss you, Shayla! Many thanks to the mighty Austin Carpenter for the riff at 03:04. You can hear the RC version, called "Castle Keep," with vocals here: redcloudwest.b...
I'm very happy to have a Gullett Guitar Company Challenger this week, borrowed from my pal Jim Morris. Jim's a rad dude and an excellent barber. Check him out at www.themugandb... and ‪@mugandbrushsessions‬ Gullett Guitar Company is a local builder here in Ohio and I'm very impressed with their work. I'm looking forward to playing some of their Telecaster-style guitars. Check them out here: www.gullettgui...
If you have any channels to recommend, please do so in the comments. I'd love to check them out. I'm looking forward to sharing some of my favorites soon!
Who's been inspiring you? I've been listening to a lot of Grant Green lately and today I returned to Keith Jarrett's "La Scala.". What a beautiful album for a cold Ohio day.

[@retherton]

Buddy, I miss the hell out of you too. Will you please share this video with Shayla, if'n ye know how?

[@shoelesshuntersongs2422]

love the crunchy tones!

[@retherton]

Thanks, dear pal! It makes me miss playing LOUD! 😂

[@shoelesshuntersongs2422]

@@retherton I could say as much!

[@DelusRawks]

That's a nice guitar! And the tones from the Formula 55 are tasty!

[@retherton]

Thanks, buddy! It's been fun to play. It'll great to have the Rufini back too. I love the Formula 55 . . . totally cranked here, but it's very nice on more moderate settings, too. What pedals are you loving right now?

[@DelusRawks]

@retherton well I only got 3 pedals at the moment. One is a cheap SD-1 copy. The other 2 are special to me, one is a Centaur clone and the other is a Dunlop cry baby that I rewired to Clyde McCoy specs.

[@retherton]

@@DelusRawks Awesome, I bet that Centaur clone is great! I swing back and forth from having lots of pedals to having just a few . . . I also have only three at the moment. Happy playing to you!
