OT: Guitar Talk

[Gooch1034]

I didn't read the whole thread so I am sorry in advance if someone already posted about this.

I have always been impressed with Prince(or the artist formerly known as Prince) when he plays guitar. I think he is very underrated because lets face it, guitar isn't the first thing that comes to mind when talking about Prince but man can he play!

Forgot about this...lol . Thought it was lost forever.

Article I did for BC Musician Magazine on improv for a beginning jazz guitarist. If it doesn't go directly to the article via the link, I'm on page 25.

Forgot to add this (I know, shamelessly tooting my own horn); damn I miss being able to play...

Ibanez Pat Metheny PM200

I've hardly ever lusted over an inanimate object so much in my life. I want one really, really bad. It's the exact guitar Pat Metheny has played live for years.

You can guy a cheaper, Korean-made knockoff for about a G.

If still played guitar, I would be lusting after that puppy, too. Made in Japan. Doesn't seem all that long ago that anything made in Japan was considered crud. Times change.

Prince is an unbelievable guitarist. The music industry has fallen so far that I find myself checking out Prince, Van Halen, Page, Clapton, Slash among others just so I can hear these guys play because there's nobody today who can play anything like them.

I need some good high energy blues. I've been listening to the obvious Bonamassa and Indigenous this morning. Any other new releases I should know about. Most of the older stuff I know, but if you know any not common older artists/releases throw those out there as well.

Thanks.

Impromptu jam at my brothers wake; pretty loose, but loadsa fun. That's me, "stoneface" wearing the Moog shirt, playing boards (wifeage and my step sis up on the dance floor).

That's me, step sis, Steve Hillis (one time guitarist for Randy Friskie), and Clayton Hill (current drummer for, Trooper) at 4am last June. Totally fun party.

BB - are you going to be able to play guitar again?

Probably not, unfortunately. I might be one of the lucky ones who's focal dystonia goes into complete remission, but the odds aren't in favour of that. I'm at least lucky to have long enough fingers that I can, for the most part, play some keyboards with one hand. It's a challenge, but people have been doing it for centuries.

wow. sorry to hear it.
