Cool, but it would have been nice to see him playing it. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

Seen anything on YouTube that illustrates what you mean?
The thread isn't just supposed to be about super fast or super technical
But that is a part of it all too. Want to keep the range here as wide as possible, so if you think there's too much of one thing, post something you love that counterbalances it. Just remember, we want to see the artist playing it, and guitar must feature, however subtle. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

I do find free jazz a bit inaccessible. I prefer something with a bit more structure. Enjoyed your first example though. One thing about jazz players - no one knows their way around a guitar neck better.
I do have a couple of Tommy Emmanuel albums that I've yet to give a proper listen - I do like to pick out favourites and put them in a general acoustic guitar mix sometimes.
Here's Tommy in a guitar duel (tri-el?) that might surprise you:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s78WCIJD734
This is the kind of thing that gets me to pick up on some jazz influences, without having to go all in. Josh Smith is definitely someone I need to pay more attention to for this. |
Funnily enough, I was going to put that one in, but I can't bear more than three Tommy Emmanuel performances on the spin, it's like he wants to use every technique imaginable, all at once and it gets a bit tiring.
I actually thought he got smoked by the other two, doesn't come across as a natural blues/rock player at all.
Linking in to that, Bonamassa was trained and mentored by the legendary Telemaster, Danny Gatton
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSwsiD4cVH4&list=PLVeVzaCDSaoY4Yjls28mlS_N8j-_4Y9jM&index=10
I really like that track, not especially spectacular, but it really chugs along and Danny had such a lovely tone.
He was widely known for playing Foggy Mountain Breakdown at a pace nobody could keep up with, but I couldn't find him playing that in isolation, so instead and just for fun, here's all the strings being played by some proper folks, including our own Albert Lee and comedian Steve Martin (no, really...)

Another favourite I've learned a fair bit from, Ronnie Earl:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBwfmrgSE5s
Saw him supporting Buddy Guy in a theatre on London's south bank. We went in a mate's Jag, driving through London with The Hoax blasting at full volume out the windows
Ronnie came out to the foyer and just chatted with people during the interval between bands - cool guy
Ronnie's gotta be worth another:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_iLG33D8Z8
Both tracks feature on an album named Language of the Soul on the Bullseye label. An entirely instrumental album, it's a beautiful mix of melodic jazz and blues, an all-time favourite. So there's something a bit more mellow for ya Jimbo ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

Funnily enough, I do like a bit of bluegrass now and again too, a taste I got from hearing Steve Earle, then went and found artists like Dan Crary, Tony Rice, Doc Watson and others. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

I've posted this one elsewhere before, but love it. Alvin Youngblood Hart, Big Mama's Door:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5qysb5G5L0
Alvin is one of those artists who only turn up with new releases once in a while, so not a huge catalogue, but he's done traditional style acoustic blues where he has really captured the styles of Leadbelly, Charlie Patton and others, and also recorded a couple of things with Taj Mahal of that ilk. Then he's done a couple of rock/blues albums that are very distinctive. This track features on one of the acoustic albums, and a rocked up version with full band on another album.

One of the things they said about Danny Gatton is that he was the greatest guitarist you've never heard of, which probably explains why there is relatively little on record of his live performances.
I don't often go to concerts, but I have been lucky enough to see some real musical greats live, however, one of my biggest regrets is never seeing Les Paul.
He was still playing regularly in a New York club into his 90s, it would've been so easy to get a cheap flight over, stay a couple of nights and take in his show, but for some reason I didn't do it.
So here he is, putting his special touch to a tune that has been covered by pretty much everyone (Jeff Beck does a nice version) in the NY club

Name drop!
Mine's mostly a list of blues players, many at blues festivals, but the first gig I ever attended was AC/DC on the Hells Bells tour in London.
Blues acts seen live include:
Buddy Guy, twice.
The Hoax, twice
Jimmy Vaughan
Eric Bibb
Corey Harris
Nine Below Zero
Ronnie Earl
...they're not coming to me now, but there have been more.
And Steve Earle.
Apart from a period of doing the blues festivals, I haven't been big on going to see major names. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

Versatile though. Here with Tony McManus, much more laid back:

Just the best there ever was as far as I'm concerned:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0QgELznllY
An Albert Collins instrumental and, w-w-w-w-wah!
Boots weren't full enough. With Albert King:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KUPjqU3XRc
It always tickles me that Albert King took a standard Gibson Flying V, flipped it over and played it left-handed with the the strings as they would normally be for a right-hander, thick gauges on the bottom now. Probably how come he had such control of the string bending. Stevie, otoh, was just superman. Think he was using 13 gauge sets at one time. I tried 11-52 for a while, and those were tearing my fingers to shreds. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

That's given me the urge to see if I can find anything of him with anyone other than Queen. I have an album of him with Paul Rodgers, still Queen post-Mercury; a handful of tracks I like on that. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

You might want to check out his Starfleet project with, among others, a certain Eddie Van Halen. |

I believe I spotted the incredible Yehudi Menuhin in that vid.
I remember my old man used to rant and rave about his talent but I was far too young to really appreciate it. |

Nope, you spotted the incredible Stephane Grappelli, a violinist with more swing than anyone I've heard.
He did do a series of concerts and possiby an album with Menuhin, but you could tell jazz wasn't really Yehudi's thing. ____________________ Things get better with age; I'm close to being magnificent........
