I just bought a new Gibson SG Standard guitar with P90 pickups. I bought it after listening to Steve Krell's Gibson Gold Top with P90's.
Here is my first recording with the guitar.

Bullseye! This is fantastic. You have achieved some great guitar tones. The blend with piano really makes it shine.
Sounds great Richard, I look forward to hearing the album in entirety.
You are on a roll, so keep on rock'n.
I love your idea of trying things you have never used. It's inspiration to keep learning. This was really a beautiful and haunting track. I like it!!!
You are more than a simple piano player. You are a great musician.
This is really cool mate
I dig this composition. It speaks to me and gets beneath my skin. Great delivery. Nice mix down/mastering job. Rock on!
Gorgeous sounds.

Oh music to get lost in and I loved the peaceful video of your diving adventure over there.

Perfect atmosphere Rik! I went to the cemetery above Omaha Beach, Normandy, France. Devastatingly sad! Cheers Bethan
