[droolymutt]

Larree - you must dig Django Reinhardt.....

[LarreeMP3]

...who kick MY a$$!



And NOBODY kicks my ass...except Django, Les Paul, Joe Pass, Sabicas, and Jerry! Pat Martino kicks my ass, too!

[LarreeMP3]

Frank Zappa kicks my ass.

[droolymutt]

actually, my all time favourite is Mark Knopfler....



not a speed demon, but I think he's the most melodic, tasteful, and expressive guitarist I've heard....

[Seismic Anamoly]

You guys ever heard Al Dimeola?? He's not too bad...

[LarreeMP3]

I saw Return to Forever live!

[droolymutt]

Al DiMeola amazes me technically, but doesn't really move me emotionally....





And I really go for the emotional stuff, more than the technical...

[droolymutt]

example = John Lee Hooker.



The old fart can't play guitar (technically) to save his life.







But DAMN he can make it sound good.....!

[Seismic Anamoly]

We produce some pretty good stuff down here...



"Born in Mississippi, raised up in Tennessee



Born August 22, 1917 on a sharecropper farm south of Clarksdale, Coahoma County, Mississippi close to Highway 49 (Hooker himself has given other dates of birth, - often 1920 and other files say anything between 1912 and 1923). After his death - in his home in Los Altos, California on June 21, 2001 - the Hooker family confirmed his birth date as August 22, 1917. Recent findings by Bob Eagle suggest Hooker was born already in 1912 (information found in the 1920 and 1930 Census / Routledge enumerations outside and in Tutwiler town, Tallahatchie County). John Lee´s mother was Minnie Ramsey (born in Glendora, Miss 1875 or possibly 1880), married to his father (sharecropper and spare-time preacher) William (indexed Wildred) Hooker, who was born in North Carolina around 1871. John had six brothers and four sisters - of which not all survived. Only religious music was allowed in the Hooker family. The family moved to a new farm (the Fewell plantation) at Vance, Miss (again not far from Clarksdale) in circa 1920 (where John said he met Snooky Pryor and Jimmy Lane - later known as Jimmy Rogers). The parents separated in circa 1931 (or according to the Bob Eagle findings much earlier since John´s father was re-married to Anna from Louisiana already in circa 1922). Johnnie, who was the only child leaving with his mother, got a stepfather - William Moore (from Shreveport, Louisiana, no recordings, but a local Clarksdale blues musician). From Moore Johnnie learned tunes like "Pea Vine special", "Rather drink muddy water", "My starter won´t start", "Don´t turn me from your door" and "When my first wife quit me". Hooker claimed Blind Lemon Jefferson came to visit Moore, and he also remembered Blind Blake and Charlie Patton. Around 1928-30 Hooker had started playing the guitar, which he said was given to him by blues singer Tony Hollins, who had courted his sister - and later he got his second from William Moore. Hooker was also influenced by Tommy McClennan and much of Hooker´s greatness may be due to his natural youth mix of gospel and blues."

I've seen Steve Vai! And I like Jeff Beck! And I've seen Pat Methany! I would have loved to seen Stevie Ray Vaughn... Steve Stevens - I like him too. I like rock but I also like ALL kinds of music even jazz & classical. I need music for different moods. I think everyone is like that right?
