MUSIC - What are ASF members listening to?

I am a guitar player, and I go pretty good, but the emotion in this clip is next level ... cloud 9 for me

Joe Bonnamassa at his best with one of the blues greats Eric Gale ... guitar player's heaven!

 
I always thought cellos were boring, these two guys do an interesting take on 'thunderstruck'.


And another one by the two cello players.

 
It's His Bobness's 80th soon. Here is food for thought for 80 of his best. ... Probably deserves its own thread (or not)

 
The end of Harris's television show coincided with a period when television was "turning away from variety acts".[2] He entered a period of depression, drank heavily, and was arrested for drunk driving; his third marriage collapsed during this period.[6]
He also opened clubs in Blackpool and Portugal which failed, leading him to declare bankruptcy twice.[2] However, he recovered and began performing in clubs, in pantomimes, and at holiday camps, touring the United Kingdom;[6] he wrote 17 of his own pantomimes and had his own pantomime company, Keith Harris Productions, which he sold in 2009 to Richard Jordan.[10]
 
Contender for best guitar solo ever ... Prince at 2004 tribute to George Harrison ... (and probably worst 'play by numbers' solo from the other guitarist, prior). Gets interesting from about 3'27" then quickly melts up

Lol ...Thats a bit cruel on the other guy DF He did ok.

Playing "warm up" to Prince was not really a great gig to score

In honesty, he had the right sound. He had the right licks. He just needed some vibrato control!

Electric Guitar without vibrato is .... Electric Guitar.

With vibrato .... it can be magical
 
If you like Guitar and you haven't listed to Andy Timmons, flick to around 11.30 minutes in and listen for 2 and a half minutes

You may well end up listening to the whole album, lol

Probably the greatest live "tone" you will ever hear from him and the boys.

 
I have no idea where that "piece" came from @cynic but I am happy to admit, that it is a very interesting piece of music

Even to this old 70's Rocker ... lol

(I do like a lot of different stuff of course!) (Even Schubert's Unfinished 8th Symphony lol)

I'm sure we could discuss the subtleties of the occasional dissonance over a couple of beers

(Or bourbons) Whichever takes your preference.

ps I suspect Andy Timmons may not be your cup of tea, however

Even if not, I can assure you (as a guitar player)

He is quite brilliant

The great thing about music is its ability to "connect" on so many levels
 
Christone "Kingfish" Ingram is an American blues guitarist and singer from Clarksdale, Mississippi, United States, who became a well-known performer as a teenager. His debut album, Kingfish, was released in May 2019.

do yourself a favour. He's only 22. His friends are rappers . There's so many styles, Texan SRV, Johnny Winter, Freddy K, Muddy, the slick new brigade... but the way he can hold on and bend a note. Truly authentic n great, esp for a first album.
 
Loved Fairport Convention. Them and Steel Eye Span. Great songs and performances.
Have put up a link to a doco on Fairport Convention.
Sandy Dennys early death was an incredible loss to the folk music scene.
