Rogerthomas playing a Gibson ES-165 here at Norman's Rare Guitars

[@wingerfan1]

Roger, this guitar has some really warm and beautiful bright tone. You really know how to make it sing.

great playing and dig that guitar.. all u need are the neck pickup on these jazz boxes . just like the 165

[@nonemlinus]

Really beautiful playing. Do you have a classical guitar background?

[@dalepal]

That's some fine playing and very talented playing guitar this well as well as being a drummer.

[@drjsmetz]

Beautiful!

[@MrMikepresley]

I like the way Roger approaches music, with depth, appreciation, fascination and wonder, very refreshing to see finally someone who plays out-side-the-box.

[@LightSnowOvernight]

Thanks for the shoutout to Lenny Breau, whom I had the pleasure of seeing in Ottawa in 1970. This really did sound like Lenny. Very beautiful

[@rogerthomas7348]

I don't think so but that's a huge compliment thanks!

I have a 1992 Gibson ES-165 Herb Ellis. I got it used in 2005. A great guitar.

[@7884golfguru]

I'm an ol drummer from the 70s and singer still playing ,busking and playing guitar

[@breakroommanager1]

nice playing

[@andrewflasco]

what a great talent!

[@rogerthomas7348]

thanks Andrew!

[@paulcheeseman1437]

Beautiful.

[@tinyb69]

Nice drumming. 😉 Those Herb Ellis models are a great bargain for the young jazzer that can't afford a 175 or a carved top model. Great sounding boxes.

[@Robowx]

tiny b I have a 1992 Herb Ellis. This is the same construction as a 175. A great guitar. I don’t know why they sold it at such a low price! But, I’m glad they did!!

[@greatvanzini]

Roger, Roger, Roger,,,, Why are you drumming? This guitar, this music calls you. Please answer the call.

[@ieldepiel]

[@OkieSilverDude]

[@mikegallagher4388]

Just as a matter of interest, how much does the guitar cost?

[@Wabi-sabi8551]

It's probably in the 2 grand range I would guess.

[@speedball1919]

Anybody else think he was Mike Hickey from the thumbnail?

[@brianhake5037]

Elliot Burack no

[@cardbored_]

Elliot Burack yeah, for a split second I did

[@vecernicek2]

Not bad for a drummer!

[@sn95_mustang_garage]

He's in the wrong band.

[@rogerthomas7348]

I'm in many bands lol

[@swatnc8051]

This guy needs to do jazz guitar and forget drum's.

[@rogerthomas7348]

Drums are my first instrument and I wouldn't play guitar the way I do if it wasn't for my foundation in percussion (drums/tabla). Thanks for the kind words!

[@SmewthePew]

You tell 'em

[@pgroove163]

@@rogerthomas7348 funny how another instrument can help with a certain style of playing.. I'm the same way except instead of drums it's saxophone... It was great hearing u play..👍
