Read on as I am ill and need to occupy my mind.
Right I'm ill with the flu, got no gigs 'til Sunday, picked my new amp up yesterday tried it briefly but I'm too ill to find a gig to go play it at or be arsed goin' to a jam... All I have I this fuckin' laptop so anyway...
I bought the DVD 'It Might Get Loud' last week for those of you who haven’t seen it, it is Jack White, The Edge and Jimmy Page sat around talking to each other about there playing styles, sounds, guitars, how certain songs evolved... It gives a load of back ground into the players also, shows them at home, who influenced them, trials and tribulations... It's a great watch and shows three generations of guitar brilliantly.
Anyway... If you could have your on version of 'It Might Get Loud' basically the opportunity to sit down for an evening with 3 guitar rigs (yours, x and y), to sit down pick there brains, ask what you've always wanted to ask, doesn't have to be just guitar players I suppose... can be singers, drummers, keyboarders, bass players...
List your players and why.
Mine are...
Stevie Ray Vaughan and John Mayer
Bein' a massive Hendrix fan Stevie Ray always seemed to me to take what Hendrix did and push it that little bit harder the whole thing around Stevie seemed really intense - John Mayer is influenced heavily by Stevie Ray but there is a whole different side of Mayer his song writing, acoustic playing and he's a very, very clever bloke indeed. He's also shagged a good few supermodels, actresses and pop stars I'd love to hear about that too...!!!
