I was copping a modern sounding guitar for this one from a video I saw. Used a Rat Distortion pedal, playing with a split coil on my Wolfgang!

Nicely done! One of my favorite Chicago songs.

Thanks. None of us had ever played it before, I learned it on a Saturday, and recorded the guitar the following Saturday. The solo is ad-lib after the original solo intro, and also everywhere else that has a little solo break, or wanking!

That was very cool! Terry Kath was a monster player and you definitely did the song justice!

Thanks! Would you believe the only person I actually know in this video is the drummer, who also played keyboards (since our keyboardist from the last 2 videos had to have a double-bypass heart surgery, totally unexpected). So we dedicated the song to him.
Our next song we picked will feature a lot of keyboard solos with him back on the keys (and no guitar solos)! He asked how I felt about that, and I said for five videos I have been doing a lot of guitar wankery, so that’s fine with me!
