I remember this commercial I saw a few times from a while ago (maybe a
year or a few), and it had this great electric guitar riff played by a
rock band in a club. I'm pretty sure it was a beer commercial, and
much of the commercial (preceding the brief guitar performance) showed
some guy hand-making a guitar from a tree. I know this is not very
much information, but does anyone know what I'm talking about? I'd
love to get that song.

I don't know if this is it but the vid is pretty funny.

Sorry about that (being snobby and all), but it just didn't seem in
the least bit unusual or remarkable. What do you find so good about
it?

I personally preferred the "Budweiser-The Ferret posed nude" commercial from
that same page, but that's just me.

you should check out Carl Verhayen............(it may even be him
playing on the commercial , he does tons of studio work)

You're implying that easy riffs can't be great (which was all I said
about it). The famous riff from Sunshine Of Your Love is, I think, one
of the greatest riffs ever written, and I don't think anyone considers
it to be at all difficult. But obviously there's an enormous amount of
subjectivity in quality judgments, so you are free to disagree.

Actually, I erased my post but I guess it's still there!
It just seemed to me to be something easy to compose, easy to come up
with. Of course, I probably would have thought so too 35 years ago.

another five minutes of my life down a rat hole; time to turn this off
and read a book.
