Jeff Beck - Jeff
A favourite player of mine.
Hot Rod Honeymoon is fun.
Caterine - Fear - Pain - Love
Great new CD from Caterine. A lot more guitar oriented than his previous one. Check out Tetris / Emotional Rain.
Rusty Cooley - Rusty Cooley
Fast and furious playing. Here's
Dark Matter.
Curtis - Blue Electric Cool
Brand new CD from Curtis. A whole bunch of different styles on this one.
Spy vs. Spy is a fun track.
Peppino D'Agostino - Every Step Of the Way
Peppino is a new discovery for me. If you like great acoustic playing, you'll love this CD. I'm going to play a couple of tracks,
Running Wild and
Western Journey.
Deep Purple - Made In Japan
Twenty minutes of great playing by this classic band:
Space Truckin'.
Al Di Meola / John McLaughlin / Paco De Lucia - Friday Night In San Francisco
This is one of the best albums of acoustic guitar you can ever wish to hear. It's over twenty years old now and still essential listening. I'll play you the
Fantasia Suite.
Dynamic - Somebody's Looking For Attention
New EP from these guys. Check out
Sticky Fingers.
Laurent Fleury - Contrastes
Laurent's album is all electric except for this one track. He's one of my favourite players. Hope you like
Un Peu d'Air.
John 5 - Vertigo
Who would have thought he could play like this? Feisty Cadavers.
Adrian Legg - Guitar Bones
Adrian is a wonderful player and this CD just gets better each time I hear it. Here's a couple of tracks: Jam Today and
Jam Tomorrow.
Yngwie Malmsteen - G3 Live: Rockin' In the Free World
He shreds, and he's great. Here's
Trilogy Suite Op. 5. The First Movement.
Lyden Moon - In the Groove
Here's a shredder who rocks. This track,
Huntington Love Jam, features some special guest guitar work by... guess who!
Franklin Moore - Motive Force
Another great acoustic CD. I don't play enought of these. The title track,
Motive Force, is a good one.
Steve Morse - Major Impacts, Major Impacts 2, Split Decision
I'm going to play one track from each of these three albums. The first two CDs are a collection of original compositions in the styles of Steve's major influences. The third one isn't.
Hope you enjoy The White Light,
Motor City Spirit and
Mechanical Frenzy.
Shawn Persinger - The Art of Modern/Primitive Guitar
This is a great CD if you feel like being challenged. It's not as comfortable as you might think.
Last week we had something like a few months of rainfall in one 36-hour period, the most we've ever had since records were first taken 150 years ago. Floods and trees down and cars crashed and, well, Stupid, Stupid Rain.
Rainbow - Live In Germany 1976 & On Stage
Remember when bands just jammed on a song? These go for about 15 minutes each: Still I'm Sad and
Catch the Rainbow.
Joe Satriani - G3 Live: Rockin' In the Free World
This track,
Always With Me, Always With You, is a sentimental favourite, and a chart hit to boot! Well, I mean, it was years ago. This is a recent live version.
Scorpions - Lonesome Crow & In Trance
This one, Action, features Michael Schenker when he was just a little boy. These two,
Evening Wind and
Night Lights feature Uli Roth.
Joe Stump - Speed Metal Messiah
Joe's one of my favourite shredders. This track,
Retroactivity, appeals to my sense of nostalgia.
Steve Vai- G3 Live: Rockin' In the Free World
No one can match his style. Here's Whispering A Prayer from the G3 tour of a year or two ago.
Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble
Not sure which tracks to play just yet, but tune in to hear some of my favourite live tracks.
Rob Eberhard Young - Consistent Variation
Acoustic guitar sounds great in the hands of this talented guy. Here's
Wandering Minds.
