Christopher Cross: His Influences, Songs and Incredible Guitar Knowledge!

Rick is one of the few critics who gives Christopher the guitarist props he deserves. (UNDERRATED!?).

I think Rick did a video on something that I experienced when I first got Christopher Cross on CD: crank up the fadeout on "Ride Like The Wind" to hear Cross tearing it the fsck up.

I totally missed the boat on CC’s background. Some of the stuff blew my mind, like how he subbed for Richie Blackmore!

Just started watching this and can't stop laughing at Chris' rig (around the 2 minute mark)!  "Just" a guitar and an amp, except that the guitar is a '59 Les Paul and the amp is a Special Overdrive Dumble!!!

Want that amp?  Here's an ad for a used one that's actually under $500k!!! ?

Add the guitar to that (which can be had for as low as $50k for a "real" '59 Les Paul) and you could almost buy every plugin that Bapu owns! ?
