Gordy01 Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 OK. Here's a guy who can really play. A lot of the younger fellas may not like the style, but the things he's doing are quite hard. And he plays very clean. So even if you're a rock fan, or a blues guy, have a listen. Add players as necessary. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJXHfdeeGag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazoo Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Nice. I have a lot of respect for finger pickers. I've never been much good at it but I suppose if I really worked hard in a few years I could be mediocre. They seem to play the guitar like a piano, with the thumb playing a rhythm section like a pianist left hand while the fingers play melody or accompany. I see you have a Seagull, I have a Simon and Patrick myself made by the same "company", nice guitars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcwillow777 Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 I saw Doyle Dykes in concert last October. I'm not a country fan, but he can flat out play. Taylor must think so, he has a signature guitar with them. He played it at the concert, actually he had a couple of them, different finishes. I would definitely go see him again.

Lord Summerisle Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 I like the idea of a "Great Guitarists" thread, especially if he or she is a player most people are not normally aware of. For a while I've been playing around with a cover of Cast Your Fate to the Wind (it was an old '60s instrumental I found in my Mum's collection of 45s ). Anyway, after practicing it for a while and laying it down in three or so tracks I was becoming quite pleased with the results. Then I went on youtube looking to see if anyone else had been having a stab at it... ...where I found this guy's version of it.

teegar Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 The Andy McKee and Joscho Stephan clips were inspirational (perhaps inspiring me to give up and sell off the collection - NO NEVER!) Let's give a tip of the hat to their inspirations, Michael Hedges, who pioneered acoustic/percussive style (not too prominent in this one, but the tune just kicks so hard): [YOUTUBE] [/YOUTUBE] And Django, perhaps the only good clip out there...

mgrasso Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Ernie Isley is one of my favorites that is fairly unknown to younger players. Enjoy. [YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6g4K-ZALWE[/YOUTUBE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordy01 Posted February 10, 2010 Author Share Posted February 10, 2010 I think what I love about the guitar, is that there never seems to be an end to the different sounds and patterns that good players can find. What I like about Chet Atkins is the economy of movement in his hands. Joscho is a great player also. And what else can you say about Wes. Watching good players is a bit disheartening, but also inspiring. Keep 'em comin'!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizzyFingers Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Watching good players is a bit disheartening These guys practice 6-8 hrs a day...don't be disheartened...If you want it bad enough you can do it too... Here's a guy long since forgotten... Lenny Breau Dizzy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
