Chris Wong, one of Fripp's arrangers and a wildly talented composer. Seriously. I used to know him through this hobby group we belonged to and he would play for me on cam occasionally. I can't find any links where he is playing guitar, just bass for Fripp's wife and her band, but I will noodle around and see if I can find one. I seem to recall finding something once where he was playing with Peter Buck.

I am no longer drunk and the laundry is nearly done.

 

[Disgustipated]

You said Wong.

 

[Sinny]

Huh huh. Wong.

I do believe I am too old for that. It is a sad statement, a sadder truth. The need to have a great Saturday with a clear head is higher than my need to feel a little woozier.

In other words, GET OFF MEH LAWN. The end.

Get back to the Tuba girl. If you're going to blow, might as well get paid for it.

Heh. I was only dabbling in euphonium land. I sucked mercilessly and went back to guitar. Such is life.

Indeed, but you'll never be faulted for not taking that shot.

I have to include Rickey Medlocke, although the Skynyrd sound comes from the interplay of the 3 guitars.

You kind of have to start with this guy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9efHwnFAkuA

The First Marquis of Salobreña not to be confused with the Marquis de Sade.

Good choices, but I'll see your Segovia and raise you Rodrigo Y Gabriela, Stairway to Heaven -- either alone is worthy of comparison to Segovia but together they're incredible.

They're even better when doing

stuff

Sublime, I often get too wrapped up in the blues and rock and forget great stuff like this.

My guitar teacher was a character. He and his band were "the official balladeers" for my state. I have no idea how that came about. They had a converted school bus painted up like the Muppets or The Partridge Family. It was like a 20 piece band or so, Latinas out front with tambourines. I dunno if anyone got paid except in weed. There was this fiery redhead in my class, I think a year younger than me. She looked like a flamenco dancer. Anyway years later I am working at a major financial place. I am looking up people...and I look up the girl..she had a name that rolls off the tongue...it was musical: Lilliana deLeon so I remembered it.

Turns out she ended up wife number two.

Anyway, he was a huge Segovia fan. He used to play that piece but with the speed of Eddie Van Halen.

He was a big fan of Uncle Ted as he called Nugent.

Really nice.

His phrasing is really masterful on Stairway.

I barely even know how to play anymore. I stopped by friend's the other day. He doesn't play much better than I do so it is fun. He has four acoustics. I have always found 12 strings awkward with my relatively small hands and modest strength. But just noodling away strumming nonsensical chords in no particular order on a 12 string is awesome when you are discouraged about losing skills.

==============

I've seen the Allman Brothers 15 times or so, Warren and Derek are as good as anyone on the planet IMO... both have such contrasting styles, like opposite ends of the spectrum but they never fail to stun..

I saw Stevie play one time, and it will remain number one out of the over 400 bands I've seen.. Joe Bonamassa is amazing too and anything off Blues Deluxe is well worth giving a listen.

Gary Moore is one I can't say I ever saw live...what a huge loss for me.


They say tone is in the fingers, Gary is the epitome of tone

Stumble - Gary Moore


Burning Hell - Joe Bonamassa


Heres another great song from Rodrigo y Gabriela and she is sexxier than hayall
