Old School Musicianship… Rock and Roll.. Jazz… Blues… Big Band even…

[BrendaBear]

Nope. Old, beat up guitars are beautiful. Except Willie Nelson's...somebody buy the man a new acoustic!

Okay - that made me laugh… and so true!

KeithRichards plays this pretty well, but...

Chet Atkins! I read years ago he is the most recorded guitarist ( under his own name) ever…

Tommy Tedesco might have him beat in number of recorded performances… too tired to do the research. However… dig this…

Chet Atkins and Jerry Reed doing “breakdown” (I believe this is a Jerry Reed composition).

I love this...

Elvis's guitar player for most of his hits.

Like suspicious minds? that’s good guitar playing

Omg my dad loves him. Or he used to. He has his records

Me too… likely my favorite Doors tune… and I am a big Doors fan….

I will see your storm, and raise you a Roadhouse…

I think that was another guitar player. The Colonel fired the band after the '68 comeback special.

Jerry Reed was amazing too. I think he recorded three or four albums with Chet.

Check out these guys just hanging out in the studio

That is such a good song, but no, not Scotty Moore. Apparently Elvis dumped him before recording that song. I do not know the details of Scotty not playing with Elvis… frankly because it would depress me.

Okay, that is weird!

I think Chet produced most of Jerry‘s albums…. But I cannot back it up… so maybe I am just drunk.

Um… game of thrones? I have never seen any of it… did Little Richard sing on that?

And don't forget the BEACH BOYS..I grew up with them...

For reference, the theme was originally played by strings, with the cello playing lead.

A little drunk...drive on baby.

Kind sir… I am in no condition to drive… but if someone will hand me my guitar... or my bass… and turn my amp on… I will gladly join in on the song…

Creedence Clearwater Revival - Born On The Bayou

It seems like 100 years ago now (probably 15) I was in this small bar, with a bunch of drunks having fun, and a bunch of musicians. A guitarist singer steps on stage and calls this song… I grab my bass (because I love Credence), amd we play the song. And at the right spot in the song, I play a different lick. Stu Cook played some interesting stuff im that song, and I had learned it… and that night, I played it. Both the drummer and the singer guitar player turned and smiled at me when I played the original (brilliant) bass line in the song. As a musician, that was better than a f-ing oscar.
