Anyway, I thought share what I've been checking out/loving. And of course- I'm curious what you gentlemen are enjoying in your YouTube travels...
I love this piece… Joao Guimaraes - Sounds of Bells
Does it get any better? Martin Taylor and Julian Lage - "Some Day My Prince Will Come"
Thank you God- for loud guitars… Ramones- (It's Alive)The Rainbow Theatre, London, England 1977
Jim always plays it perfectly… Jim Nichols: "Can't Take That Away From Me"
My pal John Shannon, who is a fine guitarist, introduced this to me- Clint Strong absolutely rips Bop over Country at 2:18 Merle Haggard & The Strangers - A Friend in California (Live on ACL 1986)
I'm quite eclectic (as Jim is!) so some of mine might seem "out of place" LOL
Here we go...
Duke Levine, "Starlight Time"
Guthrie Trapp (actually- TAR: Trapp, Abbott, and Rhodes)
Yngwie Malmsteen with orchestra:
Henry Garza of Los Lonely Boys, "Onda"
Tommy Emmanuel, Laurence Juber, and.... Richie Sambora. (YES- Sambora. A much better player than he grets credit for, being a part of the Bon Jovi behemoth.)
One more... this is a beautiful piece calling "Dreaming of You" by Paul Pigat, but there is no video of Paul himself playing it, so this is someone's (quite good!) cover of it.... it reminds me of Jimmy Bryant's "Deep Water"
Free jazz isn't quite in the spirit of what you posted, but I think you might like it. I sure do! Mary Halvorson guitar with Susan Alcorn on pedal steel
Paul Motian has so much good stuff but I have really bonded with this track recently. Many of his compositions are great for guitar players too! I have read in many interviews that he had an affinity for the guitar.
Carle Bley- such a pretty tune:
Jakob Bro-Evening Song: So many of his compositions are simple and so effective. Lee Konitz takes it to the next level. Like Miles opening notes on "in a silent way", when Lee comes in it gives you chills.
Hi professsor, I think it's probably not working because the link you posted refers to the entire "favorites list". If you pick only the URL of the single video it should work - like this:
The musicians in Makaya McCraven's band are phenomenal. I get to see most of these guys regularly in Chicago. I love this London performance. If you like Miles Davis "Live Evil" you'll probably enjoy this too.
I've been inching through this massive thread and I like and love most the clips- for me the standout (for something I've never heard) is Jakob Bro-Evening Song. Lovely!
We are a totally diverse musical group. That is so great!
The Jakob Bro piece was one of my favorites as well. I studied with a brilliant teacher here locally. After the lesson we would listen to an album from his massive record collection. Jim's vinyl treasures in guitar player and this thread are as close as I'm going to get to that experience today. Thanks for sharing everyone! Great idea Jim!
I'm still working through the Bill Jennings lesson Big Boy. It's absolutely brilliant! Taking me a little more time than I had hoped to get through it!
Here's a link to a killer video Bill Jennings and Jack McDuff
Professor- "Big Boy" is a tough one, but it's an endless source of bop lines over a shuffle. I actually re-learn it now and then myself. Thank you for ordering it. And your clip is great! Very cinematic.
I also see white boxes now when viewing this forum via Google Chrome (my preferred browser). But I just tried using Firefox, and it looks normal. Weird.
I dig Roy Lanham. Can't see the video. Might I make a suggestion... since I'm not the only one having issues with videos appearing, perhaps post the title of the video so we can go look it up on youtube?
I went to the video that I posted and copied the link, which is below. Ignore the three --- before and after. I can't help but think that this is some sort of settings issue either in Chrome (& Safarai? - seems a bit weird) or on your system.
It's only on this forum, no problem seeing embedded forums anywhere else I go. And the problem is new, I USED to be able to see embedded videos here, no problem.
If you have an hour to spare- This was an amazing documentary - I really learned a lot about Salsa music and about New York... PBS Latin Music USA: The Salsa Revolution
Very interesting stuff! Thanks for sharing, Jim! I am not sure how strongly you are influenced by this kind of music, but I can hear a "Latin feel" on songs like Menace and Cockbull Story, for example.
