WHILE MY GUITAR GENTLY WEEPS

For those who play the guitar but like me their fingers get in the way, check this out...he obviously has my talent as well as his . I was wondering where my talent was .

Theme from Magnificent Seven - Daniel Asbun

I would ask that participants post only one or two, certainly no more than three, videos of a single group or an artists. Some artists, such as Eric Clapton, will appear several times, in different contexts--obviously. But this thread is intended as a sampler, not a venue for the "The Greatest Hits of . . ." any particular artist or group.

Thank you.

I hope everyone knows who this guy is.

I'm a big fan of stringed instrumental music.

The most amazing guitarist, to my ear, is Bruce Cockburn.

This is a longish feature, but just hang in for the first bit



amazing work

I've seen him live a dozen or twenty times. There is at least one moment of goose-bump inducing beauty in every performance.




apparently one of the unusual things about his technique is his ability to use his thumb independently - he can create a richer dimension of sound as a result

Donne also performed with the African Guitar Summit

Gabor Asabo was probably the best guitarist to play in "Octaves". He gave BB King and Leo Kottke the lessons on how to do it.

I see that you are a fan of Soukous guitar, when I was working in Africa I used to make sure wed quirt early enough to get cleaned up and head into a town with some bars (in the Christian sectors) where Soukous masters played.
paul Simon still relies on the guitar sounds of the Congo and East Africa.

One (if not THE) best guitar players in jazz: Django Reinhardt

I could only find "lessons" on soukous style playing. Heres a brief lesson on the Congolese style (reminiiscent of Rhythm of the Saints no?)

Have had a quick browse through, and just thought I'd stick in this guy for starters.

See he's mellowed with age then.....


Dick Dale.....

Yes, I really did quote from this song for my paper (2 semesters ago) on online identity and reputation -

Dick Dale, born Richard Anthony Monsour, of Lebanese descent, is one of the most influential and least known of American guitarists. He worked closely with Fender to develop more powerful amplifiers. He strung his guitar with the strings of an electric base and the two heaviest steel string used on electric guitars. In this song from 1963, the influence of Arab quarter tones on his work can very clearly be heard.

IWhen I hd my hnd blowed up nd lost part of the "fretting arm" I switched over to lap steel nd dobro. Heres my present favorite dobro player Jerry Douglas with another little medley of dobrowskis,(What i call Polish guitar playin)

This thread is uncanny. As i said to Jespah at the beginning, my grandmother always said that great minds run on the same courses.

Well, this is the good stuff!

He (Dick Dale) was one of three or four who I couldn't see on the thread, and was my second choice after not being able to find the Bonamassa track I wanted.

Great minds think alike, eh?

Here is Muddy Waters getting some help from some vaguely familiar members of the audience.
