Courtney Cox & Gretchen Menn shred collaboration

I met Courtney Cox very early on in both of our careers when one of my original bands opened for The Iron Maidens. I was floored by her playing, and have been a fan ever since. Our paths have crossed many times over the years, and she has become a treasured friend. I SO admire her playing--she's unquestionably the real deal--and jumped at the chance to get to do something more significant together when she sent me this gorgeous harmonized solo she had written.

What a mash up. Crisp, clean, emotional. I'll need to get a glass of wine. Brilliant .Ta

I have been a rabid fan of guitar since I first saw jimmy page in the early 70's. A major turning point was seeing steve morse in the late 70's. Such a beautiful thing to see how every guitar player develops their own stylings regardless of their technical expertise. Gretchen I love your style and hope you will accept this as the huge compliment it is meant to be, that I can "feel" some steve morse influence in your playing and it gives me such a smile! I know of your historic connection to steve via guitar player magazine. Love! ♥️♥️♥️

Since I first saw her in Zepparella, I drop everything to see a Gretchen Menn video + love her CDs. And anyone willing to play alongside Gretchen while wearing cookie monster pajamas gets my vote as well!
