Andy owned this conversation. Who can speak to Martin miller for 1.5hrs and own it all the way? Andy had counter arguments for Martins counter arguments. Rock 'n roll. I'm watching it again.
Rick Beato has just released a short with Vinnie Colaiuda talking about flow, and his early experiences with Herbie Hancock. Well worth a watch. Pat Metheny.
It's Eric Clapton with Cream and humbuckers. Cream BBC sessions album has really great versions of their tunes with Eric playing more freely in the moment than on the studio versions. Ginger Bakers drumming is really great there also driving Eric to new soloing high's in tunes like "Steppin Out" and "I'm So Glad".
I have to admit, my favorite player is Jeff Beck, but there's so many great guitar players. Here's two players that don't get enough attention: Glenn Kaiser and Phil Keaggy. 2 great albums I would recommend of their's: Blacktop and Play Thru Me.
Love love love this video. Regarding Liam Gallagher, the great majority of his constituents woukdn’t know the difference between the live vocal or the studio one, so why would the producers waste their time?
46:47 - I don't agree that multiple takes are quite the same thing as quantizing/digital editing. You could record a difficult passage at half-speed, edit it back up to tempo and put it on a record without ever being able to play it - but if you've made a legit single take of a solo/section then you can at least claim to have nailed it once, and you have a far more solid basis for being able to show up and play it live with the latter than you would with the former. This does get complicated with piecing together multiple takes, but you aren't going to 'fluke' an insane passage of shred or complex rhythmic playing the way you might be able to with the basketball analogy - anything you've played before should theoretically be manageable to replicate, and you're actually honing your ability to play it to a certain standard with each take you record. Multiple takes are really no different to an actor learning their lines during rehearsal and then delivering on the night - as long as you CAN deliver on the night/during the session.
So I have seen many of the greats. Including Beck, Page, Clapton, Buddy Guy, BB King, Santana, Allman Bros sans Duane, Julian Kaspar, Pat Matheny, Thin Lizzy, Bonamassa, …. but none have ever left me as awed as SRV. The first time I witnessed that greatness was on the Texas Flood tour in a tiny club within weeks of the El Mocombo show. I was right in front of SRV … feet away. Absolutely mesmerizing! No mere pentatonics. The man was one with the guitar and the emotional resonance was at 1000. Afterwards I was able to spend a few minutes with him on his bus. Completely humble and welcoming despite having played his heart out. Over the ensuing years I was lucky enough to see him four more times including the tour with Beck and another after sobriety. I miss him to this day and remember exactly what I was doing when I received word of his death.
@@craigtodd8297 Why would I go somewhere else? I love Andy's stuff. I'm also a prog rock and jazz fan, so have a high tolerance of meandering. Eventually though every good creator needs an editor.
