Don't Tell Him Pike! (Johnny Robbo original)

[Farrell Jackson]

Excellent guitar song! Some very fine playing and tone. The harmony guitars puts it over the top for me! "Blackie", with its new pickups, sounds fantastic! I also need to mention how good the drums sound....they have a realism to them. Nice one!

That is a stone cool groove filled with fantastic guitar playing.  The fullness of those riffs and the harmonic guitars
reveal  that you must eat guitar for breakfast.

This is a great over all record from concept to execution.  You've come up with some rolling chord changes perfectly
accompanied by superb lead guitar and set to a drum groove that is the very best I've ever heard from a well
programmed drum machine with some unique drum sounds.

Way to go Johnny!

Wow! Amazing playing and the outro is icing on the cake!

This works - as always!

Brilliant stuff mate,that new guitar is sounding awesome.
You realy do get a lovely sweet Fluent tone from your guitar.
A lot of guitarists notes get muddy and lost in fast runs but with your playing you hear every note.
Bravo.

[Johnny Robbo]

Thanks for the kind words, one & all. It means a lot to me that you chaps are so supportive of someone who can't sing to save his life. Instrumental guitar music can be a bit "niche" so I always strive to make what I do as melodic & accessible as possible. It's great to know that I'm doing (apparently) something right

A lot of guitarists notes get muddy and lost in fast runs but with your playing you hear every note.

The secret is to not use too much gain, mate. I only have the "filth control" set at about 4... it gets too fizzy beyond that.

Thanks again everyone

smokin....

Pike was also a Admiral in the "Star Trek" adventures....interesting stuff..

great guitarist Mr. Robbo is

the rhythm sounds actually somewhat similar to later Rush stuff..I really like that...
and some of the leads, especially toward the end is very Steve Morse like... and that dude is on another level

Fabulous musicianship, played at the level most of us can only dream of.      Willie
