Ray Gomez, video intro: Blue Star. Pt.1 Tom Brechtlein, William Smitty Smith 

Glad you enjoyed it!

Yeah!

Ray Gomez may very well be the most underrated guitarist in history.

I Knowles where is tha slo and this guitar. Botón in Spain. My friendo has the guitar.

Glad you like them!

A lot of Ray in Becks playing

😂 If you ever meet Ray don't bring up that comparison...

They both played with Stanley a lot. And, quite frankly beck's "Brush with the Blues" was a copy of Ray's "Sweet Life" - I quite frankly think Jeff copied Ray.

Had to be the 90's

@@abrock7928 just looked it up. Yahoo is saying 2000. I was going with late 80s or 90s (also). But I did catch glimpse at the head that’s on top of the Marshall. It’s a SOLDONA head.

No way it's in 00, I met Ray in 2003 and he looks way younger in the video than he did back then.

ok, just found something. I went to his website and under BIO, 1991, is when he did the video. it's on page 4. @@HpPmL

@@abrock7928 Thx. Yep - 1991 Starlicks Video🎯🎱🕺🏿pcHux.

BS

Number one, I would say this not a good example of Ray's playing, where I too can hear a lack of flow. Nor of his technique, where I bet he would want it smoother. But to hear White Night by Walden - or The Sun Is Dancing - anyone would ask, OK, who's the guitar player?

@@andrewgillis8572 I agree with you. He does have some very good flow on some of his tracks. For me he is a bit hit or miss in regards to fluidity. But he definitely a very enjoyable player, overall.

@@asegal4677 Prego! In the hands of a producer like NMW you have more than enough flash or phrasing, your choice, from Monsieur Gomez' within hours of his first tracking session. Fewer, the better, and single pass, ideal - my bet, Ray has done this, but also been edited together Z(EG by Grammy-winning Narada) & with fine result. Gig he missed IMO would be Steely Dan - they'd freak on Gomez, surely. The Gypsy Shredder!

Lack of melodic fluidity? Wow..... this playing is great! The nuances with the whammy, the feel, absolutely awesome. Not sure where you are coming up with the melodic lines ending abruptly - maybe you could get more specific?
