Fun stuff Slade. Here's another tangent. One of my kids took up the standing bass. Then another joined in. If I get to enjoy solos like this someday, I will definitely show more enthusiasm than the dog.
I get that and thanks. Hey, if you like guitars just for the sake of guitars then check out a program on youtube that comes up 5 times each week called GUITAR OF THE DAY. Way kool.....enjoy!
Just got tickets for Bonamassa for April in Rhode island.
Going to see Anthony Gomes in March, Gary Hoey, and Quinn Sullivan at Chan's restaurant in Rhode Island. Blues and eggrolls! Twenty dollar tickets and it seat 100 people.
Might squeeze Samantha Fish in too, she's playing the Bull Run in Shirley Mass.
Then Ana Popavic in Derry New Hampshire.
Anthony Gomes, Ana Popavic and Samantha Fish are worth checking out if you're into the blues.
Kenny Vaughn and Marty Stewart are two of my favorite guitar players. They can play any kind of country or Rock and Roll. My son is friends with Kenny and has hired him to play on recordings. My son has played mandolin for Marty's step daughter when she performs at the Station Inn. After the first song wait for the next one which ain't country.
La Grange is one of the greatest guitar riffs ever done. ZZ top's Bill Gibbons did it way back in the 70's and it is still popular today. I have been seeing motorcycle advertisements on TV and La Grange is the background music. A huge percentage of guitar players learn the La Grange riff. I love it.
ZZ Top was my first concert as a kid. Also the first time I had to ask myself, "What's that awful skunky smell??" "Blue Jean Blues" is still one of my all-time favorites.
Most all guitar players can play anything on stage. They have that gift. I know musicians that have done entire albums playing every instrument. On tour, bands often switch instrument during the show.
