    and... another flavour.

    I don't know if Dominic Frasca is well-known. he's a guitar genius who ruined his left hand playing 18 hours a day (obsessive, you think?), and had to evolve a new style. he's brilliant. i think the 10-string gives him a way to play on a flatter surface, but he's still got chops with the 6-string,too. i think he just can't play the 6 string for any length of time.

    ah, I debated putting some Tuck stuff here a while ago... heh... I went to see them perform in Sydney about..wow, twenty years ago, now!.. when I had my own long curls and was playing their songs with a girl I was friends with. I put in so many hours trying to work out how the hell he did what he does... watching him for the first time, other people were probably disturbed by the sound of me smacking my forehead with every other chord. I remember one in particular that I had just written off as physically impossible and therefore some sort of auditory hallucination, but no, it was playable -- as long as you had your left thumb around the front of the fretboard forming a small barre while the other four fingers stretched all the way up the fretboard. Bastard! heh.

    I've always loved listening to his work, but over the years I've become a little freaked out by the fact that he works so hard to sound like a collection of musicians playing slightly out of time with each other. I think it's because I know I'll never be so good that I have to find ways to intentionally mess my sound up a bit... scary! In fact, just seeing that posted here has kind of made me feel like leaving my guitar in its case, possibly forever :happy:

    heh!

    i had a friend who bought a lesson series from Tuck on video. even with the tabs (and i do have to say, his tabs are totally accurate) and the vid lesson, Michel still nearly wept. he DID improve, though.

    if you look closely, you'll note that Tuck appears to have extra joints in his fingers. :D

    i think Tuck and Patti both do a lot of teaching now, and the occasional live concert in Europe. she's also massively (and yeah, she's a BBW) talented. i've lifted some of her breath work.

    not guitar, but .... :)

    i love this style of playing, and aspire to this kind of "slap and tickle" when playing the electric bass.

    and i listened twice.. with my eyes closed... trying to identify the riffs. that was a fun game.

    a lot of wannabe guitar players desire to learn "the classics"; i think his teaching biz is thriving.

    wow is right. SMV are really schooling people in the possibilities of bass. I love it when Marcus MIller steps in with a bass clarinet at times, too. you lucky man, jussi! how cool is that?

    more tappery:



    Eric Mongrain is so smooth with this. one of my reservations about the tap and slap is that you can easily lose the melody. this time i didn't care a bit.

    still not a guitar... BUT!

    Frequenzy of the bass strings and high shutter speed of the camera lead to this suprising string-wobble footage. There is no slowmo applied to the take. Sound is original. video was filmed with a Canon 5D MarkII , Nikon 50mm lens on 1,8f

    I was just commissioned to direct a music video for Petteri. We have a decent budget (my biggest music video budget yet) So I think that it will be pretty awesome. It should be done in about a month.

    yes, please do, because the first one was double hawt, and the second ... inspiring me to want to see more.

    those were a lot of fun to watch, jussi.

    your guitarist is a lively one, isn't he? i bet when playing on a small stage, you make him wear the HEAVY boots.

    there's a future in that tech, perhaps for those who were raised on Guitar Hero. it's not quite ready for prime time, imo. ;)

    hey Bog. :)

    yes yes yes! Tommy Emmanuel is perhaps the greatest living Travis Picker out there. (Chet Atkins being dead.) His health is poor, I hear; I hope he lasts.

    now i have to go find a good example of Atkins using his thumb....

    Someone to fill Tommy Emmanuel's shoes perhaps?

  46.  
    Stupid thing won't let me do more than 1 clip in a comment.

    Chet was awesome. So is Roy Clark. It's also very cool that Roy can play 20 different instruments as well. Legendary in my mind. Grew up watching him on Hew Haw. :)

    This is a clip of Roy on the TV show The Odd Couple with Jack Klugman and Tony Randall

    Joe Robinson has wonderful fingers; he'll likely go far. I hope he gets some time playing with accomplished musicians.

    Gee, I don't think I'd have ever known that Roy Clark was so versatile.

    Thanks, B. :)

    Smokin' Joe Robinson is a nice lad — he's around here in Sydney a lot of the time. He makes me feel very old, but with none of the attendant skill or wisdom.

    I saw Tommy Emmanuel a few months ago... would have been shortly after Les Paul died; there wasn't a dry eye in the auditorium after the pieces he dedicated to L.P. and Chet Atkins... he did allude to some health problems he'd had, saying that he'd been advised to slow down a bit. That seems to mean that he now meets/jams with/signs stuff for fans only before the show, not after. He does appear to have a very busy touring schedule, almost as if he's on the run from something.

    is that nice lad playing with a group or still doing shred exhibitions? i do think he's talented, and i assume he's got more in him than being a mechanic. :)

    you're not VERY old; just older. refined. annealed?

    i can't comment on Smokin' Joe without sounding critical; that's not my intent. he's spent his youth gaining those mechanical skills... as is only right. i just didn't... in that one short clip...see any evidence that he could make music. it's a fine distinction, i know.. and only my own. i'm surprised that he's not been snapped up by a touring band.

    That would be a fair call... he has a great deal of facility, and I hope that his sweet nature allows room for musicality. Others I have known with early technical mastery combined with arrogance have remained empty.
