When I saw Prince do his request acoustic performance he blew my mind. I never knew he was that accomplished. Another great that almost never gets recognition is Steve Morse. That man is super along with Mr Eric Johnson.
I like Junior a lot. He has an interesting custom guitar.Jr. Brown is pretty good. Can play about any style you want.
Stupid Blues:
One of my fav's and the biggest goof-ball with a guitar is Joe Walsh.
He can play alongside any of em, and I think he's great not for what he plays, but often what he doesn't play. He really knows how to hold back and not "hog the ball". jd
Back On point w Mark K.
i don't play anymore.. but i still have my bass.. but one day soon.. i think that i will put it up for sale..Heck, this thread proves it -- there are so many good guitar players out there that it simply must not be very hard to do.
That's a lie, and I know it because I've tried. I grew up playing the brass instruments, and was good at it, but guitar never worked for me. It seems like the guys - or gals - who can do it, become a part of the instrument, and work together with it more than simply operating it. The closest thing I've done that feels like that, is operating my boom truck with two 4-way joysticks, and foot pedals. - hydraulic controls, not electronic.
I had a pretty fair guitar once and wound up giving it to a buddy who was a hopeless tweeker and had lost his to the pawn shop. He was amazing with a guitar, and could play anything with anybody. I didn't have much in those days, but I couldn't bear to see that guy without a guitar.
I sometimes wonder if I should try it again. Then I take a look at my hands.jd
Another great one! Joe bonamassa. Give prince some credit too. His music didn't always hit me right but the guy had some chops. Listen to his solo on while my guitar gently weeps on YouTube.I like Norm's videos ...
