If you are a guitar player you just have to love Steve Howe. I am a fanatical Yes fan and especially like the older albums featuring Steve on guitar and Rick Wakeman on keyboards such as Fragile and Close To The Edge. Phenomenal composition and performances by all members of that band.

I was actually a bit wary of the Variax line but recently I have come to think that I should drop into a music store and check them out. I already use a Line6 Pod and like that a lot so I may like the Variax as well. And as Line6 are just a few miles down the road from me in Thousand Oaks CA I should support local products.
