Young Guitarist Reviews Past Performances

Monday, 1 July 2019, 21:17 BFH Uncategorized 27

I have to admit I get great satisfaction when a younger generation looks back and really appreciates what the past had to offer.

This metal guitarist is completely in awe of Glen Campbell and Roy Clark.

  1. this guy does a lot of these types of vids on U-tube … sometime it feels the same as a kid I sat in awe of the lyrics of guys like Hank Williams, the beautiful notation of Patsy Cline, the harmonies of the Every Brothers, the turn of a phrase by John Lennon, the way Elvis or Sinatra could carry a tune (so un-hip to follow him back in my day), hell even the beautiful baritone of Ernie Ford, & on & on

    btw, Glen Campbell was a very good session guitarist before he hit it big … met him once when I was working as an Electrician, very cordial & friendly
    saw Clark when he was playing w/ Jimmy Dean in DC back in the ’60’s when I was a kid … great picker

  8. Son. You will never ever see 2 masters of the guitars together again. Pure, clean ,no garbage.
    You say top quality playing. Little boy, there is no better.
    Not Eric, Not Jimmy ,Not BB, Not Todd, Not Peter, Not Buck, Not Chat.
    These two guys are the GODS of guitar.

  10. I wonder what he would think of our hometown (close enough) boys Gatton and Buchanan.

    I have Danny Gatton’s brother’s KS8455 Ballistic Meter. I about crapped myself when I found it in an old locker at L Street.

  12. If you know anything about guitar playing, he gives interesting information as to what his featured player is doing. He has a video on Wes Montgomery that is fascinating.

    Joe6pak: at least that is easy to keep in tune!

    Can’t tell ya how much Mississippi John Hurt music I have. There have been three month stretches it was all I listened to.

  14. Buddy was headed to New Orleans to listen to blues. I said: No further north like Mississippi and that is where you will find them. Guy came home stupefied. I have seen some on Bourbon Street, but they are lousy with them up there.

  16. @Anonymous ~ Gatton was such a talent … there is so much genius that is so undiscovered, so underdeveloped & so improperly produced … so sad to see such brilliance unrecognized

  17. I can’t believe how many knowledgeable roots music fans we have here. I have a Hafler Pro 500 upstairs hooked up to a pair of ADS 1290 and a Pair of bridged to mono Hafler DH 500 in the basement running through a pair of Speakerlab 4 plus a pair of JBL L21 Decades and used to have friends come by on Friday’s and drink bourbon chew Copenhagen and listen all night long.

    That was in the days before I had kids. These monster amplifier setups would not even be running at a warm idle and the richness is amazing. These guys are putting undertones and overtones on top of what is already an unbelievable track.

    I have maybe a between 700 and 800 cds, but lost my hard drive that had double that saved to wave files. That is just blues and most of it is the old stuff.

  18. I love guitars. I loved the piano first — Beethoven, Chopin — and then I loved the violin, cello, and viola (my teacher taught me left handed).

    But I was cursed with the left hand disease. With the guitar it didn’t matter. I’m left handed and play stringed instruments right handed. Because that’s how left handed guitarists should play. 🙂

    Double handed instruments like the piano and the Sax just fuck me up. I can play a Sax, but not like Paul Desmond. I could never deal with two hands making notes.

    What I really love is Cream’s Spoonful, live, from Wheels of Fire. And Hendrix’s Red House from Hendrix in the West.

    And, of course, Big Bill, John Hooker (alone), and Mike Bloomfield, Rory Gallagher… and Muddy Waters’ Folk Singer.

    Folk Singer (with Buddy Guy) stopped me dead, like a wrecked car on the railroad tracks.

    And I don’t think any one of us can forget Dave Mason’s Alone Together. That’s the Traffic end of the deal. It wasn’t fire and brimstone guitar… but it was SONGS. Just perfect songs.

    I’m rambling, please excuse me.

  21. Gatton is a whole different solar system. I can do a lot of shit. I’m not fit to clean Danny’s strings.

    Put the needle on the LP and say, “I’m gonna go back to painting houses. This guy.”

  23. 🎸 RANDY RHOADS 🎸

    He was Ozzy Ozbourne’s old guitarist could shred better than anyone, was a paid private instructor, BUT

    when he decided to study classical guitar, he admitted it was quite difficult even for him.

    Everyone who is anyone also concedes Glenn Campbell was “The Man.”

  24. That reminds me of Trower’s Bridge of Sighs. It was about 1984. We were accosted with quite a bit of swarf in 1984 on the FM. Bridge of Sighs came on the FM and my Father and I just stopped doing what we were doing.

    I asked my Dad, “What the fuck is that?”

    He said, “I don’t know…”

  25. “I didn’t mean to kill nobody … I just meant to shoot the sonofabitch in the head. Him dying was between him and the Lord.”

    ― R.L. Burnside

    He used to play in Portland.

    Likes me some hill country blues.

  26. We had Layla on one end of the spectrum… and we had shit, pure shit. Mountains of shit. And then Robin Trower. Robin Trower changed our minds. We at least knew we weren’t going to be assaulted by shit every minute of the day. We had Robin Trower. We had Bad Company. We had Free. We had Fleetwood Mac. We had SRV. We had The Jefferson Airplane. We had Cream and Blind Faith. We had Paul Carrack.

    And we could survive John Mellencamp.
