  ... Level Five (King Crimson ‘The Power to Believe’) ... I love this track. It has everything that defines the modern King Crimson era and sound. And that to me is great so I’m never going to complain about that! Robert’s solo is one of the more memorable guitar solos I’ve heard in some time. So simple but it just sticks in your brain! But when Adrian’s solo comes in… wow, it’s like the world is splitting in two. In my opinion these two are still the best guitar players I’ve

This week I received my new Suhr S4 after an agonising 4 month wait for it to be built and boy was it worth the wait. I chose to go with the S4 because I wanted a combination of classic Stratocaster looks and tonal capabilities but with a humbucker in the bridge for added versatility.
