Location: Newington, CT | Over the years, I guess I've had many, and they moved up or down in favor depending on the evolution of my taste in music. So, I guess the current favorites would be:
• Angelo DeBarre - La Gitane
• Stochelo Rosenberg - for Sephora
• John McLaughlin - Joy (with Shakti)
• John McLaughlin - Cherokee (on the Tonight Show)
• Phil Keaggy - March of the Clouds
• Guy Clark / Verlon Thompson - The Guitar
• John McLaughlin, Al DiMeola, Paco DeLucia - Mediterranea Sundance
• Adrian Legg - Kiss Curl (Thanks, Dweezil, for introducing me to him.)
These are guitar performances that I overtly seek out on Youtube, rather than finding them as a result of stumbling over them on some other Youtube trek.
Soooooo...how 'bout you?
Doesn't have to be an entire song...a REALLY tasty solo or something is fine too. Please feel free to use your own criteria in listing your favorites. |

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | As far as being totally mesmerized by a band, although not a performance, on my neighbor's backyard covered porch, early '60s, watching the Sufaris rehearse for a gig. My neighbor was their sound engineer and they all lived only a couple of miles away in Glendora, California.
I have many more experiences with a lot more talented artists, but this one ranks right up there because of who they were and how much I loved surf music at the time.
Other notable occasions included meeting and listening to Greg Koch at numerous performances in 2003, and a live solo performance with Christopher Parkining using one of Segovia's guitars some time back in the 1990s. |

Location: NW Washington State | I watch "Cherokee" every couple months. It's fun, but I'm not sure if it's good.
I saw Segovia a couple of times and he was good. |

SRV doing "Pride and Joy" unplugged. It's funny...I was listening to the "plugged-in" version, and it struck me that the guy that SRV reminds me of the most is that same Frank Varela of whom I've spoken several times. Great local CT. guitarist who's never made it big (yet). Same feel for the tempo, same ability to make every note count, even in a fast run; same precision, sureness and articulation, with the same energy and fire.
Obviously, SRV came first, but Frank's as good. Even funnier, Frank is a Northeast boy born and raised...it would SEEM at least that he should have no right whatsoever to have the extraordinary feel and touch that he has with bluesy material like P&J.
I know I've said it before, but if you ever have a chance to take in a performance by Frank, do not pass it up. |
