Gary Cook - Guitar Legends of Rock & Blues

This solo record was a blast to work on! It features the songwriting, production and freakishly chameleon-like guitar work of my old friend Gary Cook. His ability to not only emulate the specific and recognizable styles of many legendary guitarists, but also Gary's ability to dial in their sounds and disciplines as well. Making this project one of the most enjoyable of it's kind.

It's purpose was intended for both as source music for TV and film, as well as a demonstration of the Roland Corporations first modeling guitar pedalboard, the Roland VG-8 V Guitar System and the Roland GR-30 Guitar Synthesizer. It was an honor to work with some of the industry's finest including Mike Elizondo on bass and the soulful vocals of Richard Martin Ross, with Lisa Frazier featured on Sugar Mama.

Here is a list of guitarists you'll hear emulated:

- You Got No Right – Robert Cray
- Sweet Little Baby – Stevie Ray Vaughn
- Travelin' Blues – Eric Clapton
- Sugar Mama – Bonnie Raitt/The Rolling Stones
- You Hurt Me – BB King
- Chasin' The Dragon – Jimi Hendrix
- Spanada – Santana
- Shake It – Brian Setzer
