Niice. Willie is the best, great duo. BBs guitar tone is so great in this. Thats the woman tone.

OK this is some serious stuff here. Dude starts in @ 1:00 and doesn't run out of ideas for almost 3 minutes solid. Great tune too.

That is good stuff. I went and saw John Mclaughlin and Chick Corea a few years ago…I couldn’t keep my socks up.

Oh boy I didn't know those guys are still kicking it. Two of the best fusion players IMO. What a treat!

If anyones real into fusion, youve got to check out the band, Marbin, from Israel, awesome band and insanely awesome and polite guys with great stories. Shreddy Roselvelt for sure.
I bring up Jeff Beck quite often…but he is one of the best with a Fender.

Amazing control and phrasing, cool techniques. like Clapton said, you wouldn't know what he is doing unless you watch very very closely
I've got a nice Ibanez Acoustic/electric, an Ibanez Semi-hollow electric, Ibanez RGTHRG1 H.R. Giger model, and an ESP MH-301. And one I built using a Carvin thru-body neck and mahogany wings. Got a Blue Voodoo 60 watt amp running thru a Marshall 2x12 cab.
I have neuropathy in my pick hand due to some F'd up disc's in my neck and I more or less quit playing for a few years. My buddies have a pretty good band and I recently started hanging with them and started playing again

I started playing after a motorcycle accident when I was 39. that was in 1993 so yup i'm old. After a few years I switched over to bass for quite a few years because nobody else in our garage band wanted to play bass. about three years ago I switched back to guitar, i still play with the same dudes that I did for years but we all play guitar now. We don't play out anymore anyhoo, bars stay open too late for our ancient asses. I'm not really a great player but I have fun and music is my therapy, that and smoking a lot of pot. I like playing with my bros but I also love just hanging home alone smoking pot and playing the blues. I don't know how playing the blues can make you feel so good but it does especially if you eat a cookie and smoke a bowl or three. Right now I'm just hanging home getting stoned waiting for a bro to pick me up to jam with the boys and get mucho stondicated. All I wanted to say is enjoy your music and your voice, it doesn't matter if you are great or if you suck like me as long as you can express yourself.
Check out Robben Ford's Blues/jazz videos on YouTube, if you already haven't

I never share this video but I feel pretty comfortable here, so I thought I would share a video of me playing a few Opeth and Necrophagist covers live:

I have played for a long time and am getting back into it - learning some Queen right now which is a lot more challenging then I originally thought it would be. I freeking love Queen!

I play me the shit outa some acoustic guitar. Below is the latest piece I've been trying to cover, inspired by the walking dead cast. Shit has plagued me for a year now. The level of finger strength required to get any volume from the strings with this song is just f'n maddening.
For anybody interested, I have ~1500 dollars of candy rat tablature that I don't feel too bad about passing around.

Jack of all and master of none. I've been playing my heart out sometimes 12-18 hours a day til the walls start to collapse in for way way way too long to only be as good as I am. I'm lucky if I can play any of the music I study all the way through. Very rare occurrence. Plus I can't write for shit. What's it worth if all I can do is cover other people's music anyways? I can mimick most of what I hear but I don't have a creative bone in my body.

I bet you could write some man! you never just jam out?? like a freestyle lol
- record some jam sessions where you just play

I try, man. I just can't write. It all feels subpar and plagiarized, not to mention I'd never believe in a million years that I'd have that creativity to begin with. Blessed with too many other things to just.. up and pull good music out of my ass.
FWIW, you can buy the tabs in guitar pro format at $5 a pop and play it through at any tempo. It's kinda ironic how much of the magic is removed once you take a look at the tabs and translate it all into muscle memory. Your fingers only want to move in so many ways, especially at those speeds. It's not magic.
I think its goofy that people assume I am some sort of musical savant just because of the style of guitar I play. I can fake my way through a lot of beautiful compositions, but I'd rather face a firing squad than have to write or improvise or play for an audience. That being said, I don't even consider myself a real musician. Considering I don't share my music or play with/for others, it's more of a masturbatory thing for me than it is a dream or an ambition.
Glad you enjoyed it though. Makes me happy too.
