Location: N.J. | I've seen quite a few clips in various posts throughout the forum and I thought it would be nice to have one thread to store them all in. Doesnt matter what musical style it is just as long as its something that might be of interest to other players here.Great thing is if ya dont like the links posted then up one yourself! Hopefully this might take off.Heres a few to start.

My all time favorite song.. SRV -- Riviera Paradise
After SRV cleaned up his life, he dedicated this song as an apology to all those people he had hurt through the years. Supposedly, he cut this for In Step in one spontaneous take, and wrapped it up just as the last inches of tape were rolling off the reels.
The first time I heard this song was in 1991 on Johnny Carson's show when he paid tribute to his son who had been killed in a car accident. This song played over samples of his son's photography.
For me, SRV broke the AOR cycle-of-crap and let me straight to the blues masters. |

Location: Bluffton, SC | He's incredible, Paul. I've seen him live twice and on top of being an insane player, he plays with such personality that it's just a lot of fun watching him. Greatest ever? Certainly one of 'em but there's been so many greats in so many genres I don't even think in those terms anymore. |

| That was fun! Stevey Ray still amazes me with his strength on the 12 string. I think of him every time my hands get tired working out a song on mine! What a loss! Adrian Legg has the coolest tuning....nothing short of maazing to see what he can do with the tuners as well! .... love to see how he chose an ovation adamas for that wonderful bright sound.. Micheal Hedges??? RIP????? Dam... What an interesting style. I gotta get out more! That was fun. Anyone got a nice clip of Steve Howe doing his work???
Thanks for the clips

Location: NJ | I always liked Hedges' recording of the Bach cello sonata . . . played on a Dyer harp guitar.
I think it's on the 2nd WindhamHill "Solstice" album. He plays this "walkdown" on the bass strings, that . . just when you think he CAN'T possibly get a lower note . . . he hits one that just rattles the speaker cones. |

Location: Indiana | I've seen a couple of clips of MH playing the harp guitar...pretty amazing.
I have to add a couple from two guys I really like. I had no idea they were great friends when I first heard them until I saw them together.
I took my girlfriend to see Jack Johnson last summer....great show. He sure is smooth. You can almost hear the surf in his voice (if that makes any sense). Surfing and the guitar were his great loves growing up. He sure gets to my girlfriend...lol.
Jack Johnson Better Together-Live
His buddy Ben Harper always puts on a good show too. Ben is a very positive guy. His 'Better Way' video is very cool. I think this vid clip is from Bonnaroo...
Ben Harper - Burn One Down
Jack and Ben (on his slide) - Gone
There is music for every mood. After dad passed, I was pretty mellow and reflective...but not sad really. I listened to these guys a lot during that period because the vibe matched mine I guess.
peace...

Josh White
Lightnin\' Hopkins - Baby Please Don\'t Go
how does Wes Montgomery play like this just using his thumb?/...wow
Wes Montgomery - Impressions
I don't listen to much jazz but appreciate the skill here just the same. I like checking out historical stuff. I just picked up a dvd on ebay pretty cheap called "Legends of Traditional Fingerstyle Guitar" that I'm looking forward to watching.

Location: Indiana | Most of you guys will hate this, but I loved it! I didn't know Karl Rove and Ann Coulter had started writing lyrics for punk bands :rolleyes: "The Right Brothers"??
I thought this was a joke at first. It sounds like they just took a bunch of FAUX news headlines and strung them together to make the "Anti-Green Day" song. You are right...I do hate it...because I know better. In the bizarro, Orwellian world we live in today where war is peace, death is life....where we free nations by destroying them, where we install dictators when it suits our purpose then remove them when we need a boogie man to justify our wars....where we accuse those dictators of torture then do it ourselves...where we say our economy is strong yet our national and personal debt, poverty, homelessness, bankruptcies and all the signs of a decaying society are at an all time high...yes...I can see how in this upside down world some may think Bush was right. But I sure as hell don't. These guys and anyone else are entitled to their opinions and to express those opinions in song if they wish...it's America...but it won't be much longer if we don't wake up soon.
I didn't mean to go off on a rant....on second thought...yes I did...but it was inspired by that post/song. I've commented on a lot of the songs posted on this thread...all of it positive because that's how the music made me feel.....except for this one...because that's how the music made me feel too. I couldn't even listen to the whole clip. As mentioned at the start of the thread, we don't all have to like each others songs and everyone is free to post what they like. I'm not upset that it was posted and hope a harsh tone will not be read into this...but the song had a strong message that drew a strong response...that's all. In my eyes...if these guys truly believe Bush was/is right, they should sign up and go fight for Bush's cause. When someone says "Bush was right" they are also saying "the cost has been worth it" (because if it wasn't worth it then he was obviously wrong)...and NO ONE should be able to say another man's life was worth giving up...if he is not willing to give up his own!
I'm a member of a group called "Veterans for Peace". I try to keep my politics out of things most of the time. It can be hard to do sometimes where music is concerned because music expresses life, culture and the times we live in. I'm passionate by nature about many things but none more so than war and the needless waste of life. I truly believe that "man must put an end to war...or war will put an end to man".
"I hate war as only a soldier who has lived it can, only as one who has seen its brutality, its futility, its stupidity.
Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies in the final sense a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed." Dwight D. Eisenhower
the republican party sure has changed....it's why I left it. I apologize if I went too far here...I just needed to vent.
peace |
