        Its been a challenging year so far . Ive lost close friends and family.
        Never be the same.
        A light in all of this has been my continued friendship with Wilfried (WBlues)
        We have been working on this a while – hence the wardrobe change.

        Here is a melodic rock instrumental in G.
        I hope you like it.

            Rock perfection.

            I can tell it must have taken just as much thought as execution to get this done.

            Found it an even better touch that Wilfred sounded more like a Strat than Craig’s um….Strat?

            Great collab. Well done men.

              Huge admiration for you both, that was as uplifting and inspiring as melodic rock can get. At this time in our lives music very often lifts the soul to help us through those difficult times. Good to see you both on AM again.

                Craig, sorry to hear about your dificult year.
                Beautiful phrasing and licks from both of you on two gorgeous Suhr guitars. Craig, I can’t remember the last time I saw you on the neck pick up. Wilfried, I’m going to have to precede your name with Eddie Van.
                As we enter late fall in Canada I have to say I enjoyed that video background.

                  Its great to hear and see both of you again! Incredible how you both seemed to be in the same space musically on this collaboration. I would also echo what Richard said. Video production was outstanding and a pleasure to watch. Beautifully done Gentlemen 🙂

                    I feel you mate, having the same emotional year.
                    I’m glad to see you with Wilf.
                    You guys played an awesome piece.
                    Very nice video.
                    I am still trying to get back in the groove.
                    Thanks for this soothing arrangement.

                      Sorry to hear about your challenging year but this just proves music is soothing for the soul. Excellent production and a very pleasant melody for sure. Wonderful wammy, precious picking, felicitous fingerpicking, and tasteful tapping! Well done guys!

                        Fantastic to hear you play Craig and this collab with Wilfred is another gem. So melodic, beautiful phrasing and spot-on note choices. Very sorry to hear that you’ve been going through a difficult time. Fingers crossed 2024 will be a better year! Thanks for sharing and continuing to inspire us. 😎🎸😎

                          Loved it, such an uplifting piece of music but also has a message coming through … it’s going to be brand new day with the sunlight shining through, a great pick-me-up. Perfection in note sequence. Condolences on a tough year, music can be a great healer. Wonderful collaboration gentlemen and thanks for all you do.

                            That was a wonderful collab, mates! Very melodic indeed! Very well done in every aspect.

                              Wonderful collab, you guys!
                              I love that positive major sound and beautiful melodies. Reminded me a bit of the Allman Brothers.
                              Both leads blended into each other perfectly.
                              Great use of tremolo. I love the video….and the dog!
                              It’s so good to have friends…and music.
                              All the best to you, Craig.

                                Awesome work gentlemen. Truly beautiful playing and the video was a pleasure to watch all the way thru to the barking dog.

                                          Sorry for your tough year. Music and friendship help a lot, and you have both to comfort you.

                                          Your composition and melodic solos are really beautifully crafted, with a sweet versus+chorus chords progression and a lot of different melodic ideas, so well played by both of you, Craig and Wilfried. Your own distinctive sounds, styles and approaches merge and flow seamlessly for a stunning melodic performance.

                                            Somehow I missed this here but it showed up on my YouTube feed, and I’m so glad it did!

                                            WoW, what a treat! Such beautiful soloing from Craig and Wilfried, each with their own respective style, and oh, those whammy tremolos! 😍 Love the melodies, so pure and uplifting, incredible work! Loved the whole track, very professionally made to the Tee.

                                            …………….. I’m so sorry to hear about your hard year and the loss of loved ones, Craig. My deep condolences, I hope diving into music can bring you some relief ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹🙏🙏🙏
