Collings I-35 LC Vintage Sunburst | CME Gear Demo | Nick Cudone

[@noahrubin7680]

Anyone else just keep on replaying the beginning of the video to hear him do " Pure Imagination"

[@gnrock1981]

most of us watching have probably played the guitar for a long time and we can hold our own, we can play pretty good, but demonstrations like this just show how little we know and how much more is possible. Amazing.

[@Ninjewz62]

I'd pay money for the version of Pure Imagination

[@HuterDerSchwelle]

I'm stubborn and have high standards. You're a phenomenal guitarist.

[@nickcudone4224]

HuterDerSchwelle Thank you!

[@FenderFox]

+Nick Cudone what song are you playing in the intro? Cause it sounds amazing

[@LedWolf7]

+Antonio Colon Pure Imagination From Willie Wonka

[@mattwallermusic]

One of the first videos I've EVER seen that had no trolls or negative comments. I think that speaks to your playing. Kudos sir.

[@makkietakkie]

I keep coming back to this demo. Man, Nick can play. I demand more sixty-frames-per-second demoes from this hero!

[@src248]

Wow, just wow. Got chills from that, one of the best sounds I've ever heard

[@allanbahati1942]

Wow, nick that was beyond beautiful. Pure imagination! Thanks for sharing

[@ArafatAmin]

that intro was a joy to listen to!

[@stratmagic6893]

if only we lived in a world where that type of playing and artistry was rewarded with the same fortune that todays vapid pop,rap and hip hop artists received-that would be music heaven

[@pascualsandoval6592]

Maybe your just listening to the wrong type of modern music, artist like mac demarco or arcade fire are great examples that music so not dead yet it's the music industry that ruins it

[@tommymueller4021]

pascual sandova,,6. l and

[@toneman335]

Your words are so true!

[@phabel59]

The more people that learn and appreciate good music, then the other stuff will go away!

[@justabout30something]

To find such a Nugget as this is truly awesome and beautiful truly humbling.

[@kasramoghaddam1389]

This is one of those demos that u just keep coming back to 😊

[@1066wastrel]

that might just be the best guitar sound I ever heard!

[@jakel5050]

I couldn't even imagine how long it took to learn that..blew me away

[@SuperStone71]

Best CME demo yet.

[@daveazari]

Some of the best guitar playing and tone I've ever heard in my life. I wish I could just wipe away the hum though... still, phenomenal to listen to...

[@ColmBurke]

So glad I found this video again.. The intro is nuts

[@jujoboha]

Very nice Nick! I don't know how I had missed this!

[@garyguitar]

I have a red I-35 with lots of flame on top, back and sides. I've been playing a long time and owned a lot of guitars...Gibsons, Martins, PRS's, Fenders, etc. This is totally the best guitar I've owned....quality, playablity, and tone. Superb. It's slightly smaller which I love.

[@JCTT-jr8cb]

This video really inspired me to start progressing in my playing, thanks man.

[@Loddentidster]

That was yummy tasty! Beautiful playing. I love your channel Chicagomusicexchange.

[@geo.sackett8154]

RIP Bill, the inspiration never stops

[@alexgarnett5373]

Wow enough to break your heart, Beautiful melodic playing... Nice one.

[@kitesurfer314]

Beautiful playing. I love my Collings I-35 as well. Incredible guitar.

[@Deathlycream]

this sound is so unique. Clear well balanced. Lollar Imperials... I know Colling guitars for their incredible acoustic instruments but their electric range seems to be awesome too.

[@wizaxed]

Wow, this dude has some great talent and touch. Love the arrangement of Pure Imagination!!!

[@jacobmatteson9166]

Bro your playing is actually beautiful.

[@davebertoletti]

Spectacular playing, Nick...

[@thedellow2093]

What beautiful playing, Nick!

[@mattchurchill]

Beautiful playing and tone, great vid.

[@zhbroder]

this is the kind of guitar that sells itself

[@Tonetwisters]

What a gorgeous and gorgeous sounding axe. Gracious.

[@cliffwhite2812]

First man: "Wow! Isn't that a sight of pure beauty! Second man: "What are you on about? All I can see is the sunset!" Seems the second men have been making comments here too. Ignore them. Keep playing beautifully.

[@rickhoward3797]

Awesome playing, tone and song selection!

[@Chadzar]

Stunningly beautiful playing

[@rojaslaz]

[@nicholashennessy7121]

that was some seriously tasty playing

[@h6tuoycinos]

Great Sonny Clark lick in the middle.

[@pickagreatname]

That was some unbelievable playing. I so want a Collings but man it's tough to decide between this, the soco or the city limits.

[@johno1405]

SICK playing. Beautiful axe

[@deej19142]

Wow, I love this music.

[@CoolCat11]

OMG I need to give this man some guitar lessons... He seriously needs them (not)! 😍 Kind sir - you could play an oil can attached to a stick and I'd buy 10 of them... Total ear candy... 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@sampacker6547]

I go back and watch this demo just for that intro song

[@seanmurphy.]

Gorgeous playing.

[@wzwguitar]

The three best guitars I've ever played was one of those, a Nash tele, and a Nash strat.

[@davidrichardson7687]

Wonderful demonstration.

[@bradleyjpaolucci]

That sounded amazing

[@khasht9068]

Man you can really play. Bravo!

[@wackenthaljef]

[@jzwicewi]

Amazing Demo!

[@XenomorphFN]

I have to know, what was that song at the end? It haunts me in the best way possible! Your an amazing player thanks for the videos!

[@FriendM2010]

Nice playing. Appears VH watched your tap picking method, DOH ....🤘I’d like one of those guitars, is there a coupon code 🥴

[@malthus101]

3:52 - this track is great, I'd like to learn to play that one day.

[@ebensf]

Nice playing dude

[@24ctg]

sick playing style

[@benjaminskamla5523]

Wonderful playing, and here I thought all demo videos could only use blues licks!

[@nickcudone4224]

Benjamin Skamla Yeah, for a while I've felt like most gear videos cater to one kind of player. So thanks!

[@RobertNolan]

Still a good demo of the guitar. Still come back for Pure Imagination.

[@AronOrtegaG]

Great demo!

[@paullazarus790]

Wow, fantastic playing...now I'm too intimidated to buy one, LOL!

[@CreamyBone]

I give you a big thumbs up for a guitar demo that isn't wall to wall blues licks! ;)

[@DenisSurette]

Great playing!!!

[@stephanebasque1614]

Nice!

[@charleshoernemann8661]

Beautiful tone, great playing Nick! And now I go and rob a bank LOL

[@CarbonTigers]

If you need a driver, let me know. We'll split it 50/50. -Nick (Carbon Tigers/Guitarist)

[@Cereal421]

vecernicek2 The first song he plays, "Pure Imagination", is from Gene's most famous movie, the original Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

[@vecernicek2]

Oh, I see.

[@michaeljohns9003]

"Go on buds,drink my suds,in a world of pure inebriation..."

[@J_Fowler]

If that instrumental of Pure Imagination isn’t the best thing on you tube I don’t know what is

[@TastyPlacementSEO]

where are you getting chords for My Favorite Things? Did you just work it out?

[@nickcudone4224]

Hey Michael, yeah, I just looked in the Real Book and made it a chord melody. The brief Ebmaj7 in between the Gmaj7 and Cmi7 is kinda my own twist.

[@mercedes560sel]
