Rick, I think its well overdue that we get a video about Jerry Garcia. His fluidity between genres and his impact to the music industry of the time and now is astounding. I would love to hear your take him has a Legendary Guitarist

@djjdevosWasAtTheShow 3 года назад

I was privileged to have seen "The Trio" 4 times. The first of which was at Carnegie Hall. This show, out of hundreds and hundreds of shows over the years, is what I refer to as my most religious music experience. Don't know or recall if it was better than the three times that followed but it was the first exposure and it was at Carnegie so... And the 4th and last time I got to see them was at The Beacon Theater also in NYC where Steve Morse was the opening act and he came out at the end also to join The Trio to close out the show. I really need to see if my old cassette recording of that show is worth digitizing.

@RichardMoretti 3 года назад

@@djjdevosWasAtTheShow I saw that tour in Boston, and Steve Morse really surprised a lot of people who were there to see the Trio. After his set the crowd didn't want him to leave. Al DiMeola had to come out and promise the audience that he was going to come out and play with them. He said we want to play with him too.

@kurtbader9711 3 года назад

Saw it in Rochester N.Y. at the Triangle theater. Was amazed at how so many excellent players managed to stay out of each others' way and create such incredible music. Have to admit, going in McLaughlin was the guitarist I appreciated most but in this show Paco DeLucia seemed to shine. Beautiful, effortless playing. I can still see Steve Morse on stage for the encore, grinning like a kid, playing with three legends. My favorite memory was when I closed my eyes for a while and my girlfriend asked, "Are you sleeping?" and I said "No, I'm listening."

O Brother, what've you been missing! You must've been on the Rolling Stone mag diet. ;-) Rick really killed a whole flock of elite favourite birds with this one. Aside from the immense technical wizardry, sometimes when I listen to Paco he seems to spiritually take me back to one of those Alcazabas of 12th century Moorish Spain or something and I'm in one of those courtyards and seeing those nice azure blue tiles, Arabic arches and central pools etc you know what I mean haha!? :-) Even Tommy Emmanuel said Paco was easily the greatest and deepest player he'd ever seen live! If I had to name 5 guitarists who revolutionized how I see the guitar and my development I would say Paco, Joe Pass, Lenny Breau, Allan Holdsworth and Julian Bream, all covered now! Top banana RB!

He didn't even need a pick! ;) ... so many amazing players in this video... thank you Rick!

@HomoChomsky 5 лет назад

Raf X , flamenco is a truly entrancing art form, and Paco was one of its greatest defenders. If anyone, already aware of him or not, wants to get into his work, I recommend Almoraima as a starting point (he was in peak physical form at the time) or Siroco for more jazz-influenced sounds.

@rafxrox 5 лет назад

Hey Martin... thanks for your reply... of course I know that classical players don't use picks... it was a joke, hence the winkie smilie face after the sentence... I was being facetious... Paco is as fast with his fingers as most with a plectrum...

Steve Morse, I honestly haven't heard another guitar player be able to cover as many genres as Steve and play each as if he had been playing those styles his entire life. I have seen him live a few times and it's quite a treat, not just Steve but his band as well. Dixie Dregs or Morse Band. Great video!

I feel the same way about Jan and Focus. How can you leave him out as not being one of the best guitarists or having some of the best solos. I sent a message to Rick about the opening of Hocus Pocus for example then pointed out his great solos in the song but I was Focusing ( no pun intended lol) in his first real solo section in HP at the 2:00 min mark on moving waves. Wouldn’t you love to see if Rick could even play that solo? Im a huge Ackerman fan. Saw them several times in 70s and in High Schools I sat on gym floor 6 feet from Jan Ackerman.

I've seen the expression "Coltrane of the guitar" used for many guitarists (from John Mclaughlin to Linc Chamberland to Arthur Rhames to Sonny Greenwich to Ollie Halsall to Nathen Page to Santana etc)... Holdsworth is amazing (one of my favorite guitarists ever) but he had his own style and sounded very different from Coltrane, altough he was inspired by him. To me the true "Coltrane of the guitar" is Tisziji Munoz, another monster guitarist of the era who is sadly little known and who truly sounds as Coltrane (or Pharoah Sanders) on six strings

Love your channel! May 1975 I saw Jeff Beck touring behind Blow by Blow on the same bill with John McLaughlin and the Mahavishnu Orchestra at Winterland in San Francisco . Beck had expanded beyond British Invasion style blues rock and had embraced a kind of jazz fusion - it was a powerful show and the two guitarists jammed at the end. I believe Beck became one the most sublime guitarists of the 1970s and beyond as he doesn’t so much play but rather coaxes, tickles, bends, and encourages sounds out of his guitar in a way that almost make it seem human. Question : so many guitar solos from the 1969s and 1970s we’re so melodic- certainly the great Steely Dan solos- but, also straight rock solos like Stairway to Heaven and Aqualung- a vocalist could sing those solos, they had forward movement and climaxes you anticipated like Blackmore’s descending bend pinched note at the end of Smoke on the Water or that single fret board tap by Larry Carlton at the end of Kid Charlemagne. That seemed to go away after the advent of tapping and shredding- would you agree rock solos lost their melodiousness and why.

@garys6378 3 года назад

So glad to see your focus on Al Di Meola... we were in the same high school class and, although we barely knew each other, I remember helping with the PA for the senior talent show and watching Al play (if I recall correctly) Classical Gas! I suspect that few of us at the time knew what a phenomenal guitarist he was and how great his career would be.

Michael Schenker (UFO) - Frank Marino (Mahogany Rush). Both players were not even adults when they were pumping out awesome music.

I really think Michael Schenker from his first appearance on The Scorpions Lonesome Crow (1972) through the early 80s did some of the most melodic and tasteful lead playing of all time.

@jfo3000 5 лет назад

realpool Agreed, and he was a huge influence on EVH and Rhoads and so many others. His tone, vibratos, pick attack, composition, melodocism ..."Let It Roll!!!!!!!"

@spotsthecat7913 5 лет назад

don't forget McAuley Schenker Group, Schenker also did some tasty solo in songs like Save Yourself and Anytime. Frank Marino also plays mean guitar in Juggernaut..hahaha

@realpool 5 лет назад

Unfortunately, after the Graham Bonnet/Gary Barden period I think Michael went the "hair metal" direction and, well, let;s just leave it there.... I encourage everybody to listen to the solo on Rock Bottom from UFO's Strangers In The Night. Amazing!

This was a well done. Brings back great memories. Of all the guitarist I've seen live. Al DiMeola was my favorite I saw live and Return to Forever was my favorite group live. Chick Corea is a pure genius along with Stanley Clarke but theirs still many I have and still would pay to see.

@jimnikas4302 5 лет назад

Carlos Rios did some session work for chick corea on the original Elektrik Band album. The solos on there are mind blowing. This makes me think you should do an unsung guitar heroes video. Off the bat I can think of several at least. Carlos is obvious, joaquin Lievano of Jean luc ponty. There's a Canadian prog rock guitarist named Ian crighton that played with saga who was doing some advanced tapping and dimeolaesque lines early in 1978 (check out a song called tired world). Thanks for the content, it's always entertaining and greatly informative. I appreciate you welcoming us all into the beatoworld.

@felooosailing957 4 года назад

Excellent choices Rick. All of them interesting, especially Holdsworth, and everything in Steely Dan, and the mighty Lukather, and also Lenny Breau who I hadn´t ever heard of. However, I would like to comment on something: I have neer been able to get John McLaughlin. Always absurdly fast in what I have seen of the Mahavishnu Orchestra. In my opinion in the clip, Cobham is the one who deserves an applause. Can somebody please tell me of some tunes where one might get a better perspective on McLaughlin? Also, I get the feeling that Rick is slightly disrespectful at the beginning to greats like Jimmy Page and Eric Clapton, and I also believe by extension then Jeff Beck, Jimi Hendrix, et al. They might have just played blues, but there is some extremely original and tasty work, as I´sure pretty much every rock fan will agree.

@danielclee1 5 лет назад

Rick, when you finally get around to covering Mike Oldfield, then I'll know you mean business. TB, Ommadawn, Incantations, the last 8mins of Crises (with Simon Phillips on drums), Amarok, and The Songs of Distant Earth. I love your stuff, and many a great insight on many a great musician. But Oldfield is a 1-man orchestra, and no one else has ever quite managed such an accolade. It's gotta be worth a show.
