I came across this short video recently. No Guild content, but some crazy... stupid... good playing! That's a lot of hot licks in a minute and twenty seconds. :saturn:

That was beautiful. I love that super clean guitar tone; it comes across strongly even on that old tape.
Thanks for posting.

Nice, super-smooth playing! It seems likely that they're influenced by the dueling guitars of Jimmy Bryant and Speedy West.

So I did a bit more research on these guys, and what I guessed was not at all true. It's hard to ignore what may sometimes seem obvious. Either way, these guys were both well-known, prolific, and amazing players.
