      You really don't want to see Bonamassa,  Kenny Wayne Shepard or Walter Trout..you are really only excited because you will be meeting up with us !!! LOL   We get into Tampa around noon on Sunday the 24th. Looking forward to another great time!

  8. UncleHammy, did you see me waving as I just drove through Wichita a few hours ago?

      Nope must have been looking the other way...

       

  9. Brian, you obviously like Peter Green.  You might want to look at this month's Guitar Techniques magazine.  The cover article is about Mr. Green.  I actually haven't studied the article but it looks interesting.  And your being in the UK it isn't as expensive as it is for us here in the US!  :/

      Dang, I forgot about my own link!!!!!:$   I was going to listen to it and record the Wes Montgomery show and my wife got home, we had dinner, settled in in front of the TV and I complete forgot about it!

      I really like Guitar Techniques.  A great magazine of lessons without all the hype and silliness and advertising of other magazines.  It's obscenely expensive for us here in the US but I think worth it. I subscribe to it and Premier magazine and I'm going to let the Premier subscription lapse.  Let me know what you think of the Peter Green article.

      Hey Ron, thanks for the tip on the mag.  It's really good and the stuff on Peter Green is well worth a read. I have so many guitar books that I try and steer myself away from new magazines on the basis that I should get down to read and apply what I already have.  But you may have changed my mind on this. And it's printed here! 

      I think Peter Green and the real first version of Fleetwood Mac is really under appreciated - well ...in the UK - and he was absolutely fantastic.  A bit sad to him now though.....but he's still around.  More recently Peter Green was at the O2 Arena (Greenwich, London)  for the Stevie Nicks/Lindsey Buckingham incarnation of the band's tour.   Sadly watching and not playing.

      I saw him (Peter Green) on a YT video with Santana playing Black Magic Woman.  It was sad.  He looked incoherent.  A really sad occurrence what that "trip" did to him.  I hope to learn to play his Supernatural one day.

      Glad you like the article.  I think Guitar Techniques is the only magazine worth subscribing to.  But, yes, I have so many piles of learning materials that I will never get to it's embarrassing.  Including back issues of GT.  I am currently working their article on the Blues Scale from December.

  10. Happy Birthday, Brian!

  11. Plantsman, Happy Birthday a day late.  I hope you had an enjoyable day which included a lot of guitar playing.

      Thanks.  I did get some playing time in yesterday along with the Live Lesson.  Had a great day, even if it meant another 365 had passed.

  12. Did you get the picture of the new LP  resized?  Want to send it to me?  We want to see that new axe!!!

      I don't know how to send it to you. It's own my profile page. If can help. Tony

      Tony, I don't know what you mean.  I'm on your profile page I don't see any new guitar.  I just sent you an email.  Now you have my email address.  Send me the photo by email if you want.  I'll resize it and return it to you. 

  13. So BluzCruz how did you get your username?  I assume it represents "Blues Cruise".   As in "Keeping the Blues Alive at Sea" Cruise?  Have you been on it or a different blues cruise?  Are you going this year?  Dan Brown from L&MG and his wife and my wife and I are going next month.

      Rick, I just found out Joanne Shaw Taylor is going to be here when we get back from this year's cruise!  I think the date is March 10.  In a really nice, intimate little bar.
