I've shared some of his stuff before, I know Neal complimented him :D

He's a very versatile musician, that's all he does for a living and has for as long as I've been around. Mostly makes a living from classical and flamenco music, but he's actually an experimental guitarist at heart. Does all sorts of off-whack stuff in his own time.The double-neck guitar was actually his design, and it's not double neck per se - it's actually modular. It's got 3 separate guitars (though one is currently unfinished) that he can couple and decouple from each other and play separately. Very cool thing :)

He's currently touring California and wintering in Mexico. Here's one you might like from a private show he gave just a couple of days ago... http://youtu.be/2i-m6S_EadQ

Beautiful! Of course I'm only halfway through it, listening as I type. When that's done I'll listen to some of the others I see on the list. :sunny:

For every one guitarist that enters the hallowed hall of fame and is badged great, there must be thousands that never get a look in but equally good.

The only guitarist I still listen from the 60s is peter green, wrote some of the best songs ever writen and probably the best ever opening hook line to a song ever "shall I tell you about my life" A hook that catches you. When I heard this it sent shivers down my spine, and still does.

Ah, the man who created Fleetwood Mac and left them when they didn't want to be a blues band anymore, the man who wrote Black Magic Woman...:rock:

One guitarist who seems never to get mentioned but who is a phenomonal player is Prince. I've seen him live during his "Purple Rain" tour in Los Angeles and was very, very impressed with his playing during the show, including a jam session midway with Prince & The Revoulution and members of "The Time" (No Morris Day, but Jerome was there), and members of Shiela E's band. They jammed in rock, funk, blues, and other styles with Prince calling out key changes on the fly. The whole lot of them were the best group of professional musicians I beileve I have ever seen live. I thought Prince's playing that tour was as good as it was going to get until I saw a DVD of a performance he gave in Las Vegas. It is absolutely amazing. I had a co-worker who was very much a bit of a jazz, R&B, and blues snob. He is extremely knowledgable and can quote chapter and verse on all things jazz, R&B, and blues. I brought in the DVD to work and asked him to give it a look. He was a bit disinterested at first. I asked him to pay attention to a latter part of the show where Prince played an extended blues guitar piece. Later in the day he came by my office to return the DVD and was full of praise for Prince and his band. He was very impressed with how tight the musicianship was and I told him that Prince will only hire musicians he considers the best (Maceo Parker. of James Brown fame was in the band, for example). If you get, the chance find the DVD and give it a look...
