    One riff I thought would make the list was the opening riff to “far behind” from candlebox. Being able to play that at parties in the 90’s got me my fair share of hook ups too. But the 90’s was so full of great guitar music it’s almost impossible to make a list that includes them all. Great video thanks for sharing.

Blacktop HH strat has a swimming pool route but or would you consider selling it and going with a soild SSS other guitar of somekind? Also the Blacktop strats frets feel like a railroad track to me other than that it's a good guitar the other problem it's dark and muddy could coil tap the humbuckers help? Is there Anything can do to the humbuckers like Coil tapping or do a push/pull to the neck humbucker or both humbuckers to get in that single coil territory where I can hopefully get that bell like tone.
