One of those rare moments that I can’t express how much I love it. Watching a hero play with heroes. It’s like the Iliad of guitar.

So nice to see and hear these Guitar Legends talk...and play, of course. Dennis Budimir caught my attention when I heard his breathtaking solo on 'Green Dolphin Street" from the 1975 Singers Unlimited album "Feeling Free". He also played Rhythm guitar on Lee Ritenour's "Sun Song" from the Captain Fingers album (tricky because it's in 5/4...). Too sad to hear that he passed away in early 2023. RIP Mr. Budimir! And thank you for the music.

I just discovered that Dennis was the guitarist on 'Gonna Fly Now' ('Rocky's Theme'').

[@brudbbb1]

Does anybody know if Dennis is of Croatian heritage, because "Budimir" sounds like he is. Great video btw!

[@harriheinsoo]

[@rishianurag5704]

Does anyone know the tunes these guys played throughout all episodes?

[@larrymiller4]

Is this the same Dennis Budimir that had a rock band c. 1967 in Hollywood called the Palace Guard (one hit record "Fallin' Sugar")?

Are they at someone's home and are we seeing their private collection covering the walls?

[@fretboardjournal]

They’re at California Vintage Guitar and Amp, a gorgeous guitar store in Southern California.

[@edwardmclaughlin7935]

Come on Bill: lead the way back mate? These young pups can't do it.

[@edwardmclaughlin7935]

Wow this is beautiful. Three humans together, being human. No masks, no 'social distancing', just swapping tales; and all the while there were viruses lurking. We survived. It could catch on.
