Robin Trower is one of my favorite guitar players. His use of vibrato on his “Live” album left a deep imprint on my soul. I could never could quite capture his technique for my own playing. Though his stylistic influences may not show up much in my compositions these days, this song is dedicated to him. The first segment of the song uses a Strat, the second movement @2:37 switches to a Les Paul, then back to the Strat for the ending.

Nice work here Gary.
Btw, I too am a big fan of Robin Trower. I have most of his many albums. 
And I too have tried to reproduce his wonderful guitar sound, but to no avail. (Have the same problem with the guitar sound of the late great Leslie West...)
Really enjoy your playing, especially on the Les Paul section!

Crisp and moody. A few echoes of Led Zep. Not really knowledgeable about guitars but I enjoyed my listen.

Can't go wrong with Trowel.  Beautiful intro that leads to the rest ofbthe song with tasteful playing.

Thanks to each for your kind and encouraging words! The guitar work in the intro draws from Trower, Curtis Mayfield, the Beatles, and old familiar jazz standards. Jimmy Page of Zep . . . hmm? Maybe, probably unconsciously but intentional just the same.👍 It does raise the question of how often our musical influences come through unconsciously in our compositions--a fascinating point to ponder!

Really cool.  Robin Trower's stuff.was really super top notch.  I'm reminded of Hendrix in a lot of places here.  I also like the ending part a lot.
