Uuuh... who's that? :tard:

Randy Rhoads

Oh, stupid me :doh:

 

[jwl68th]

Lowell George and Danny Gatton.

 

[Jusatele]

DANNY WAS THE MAN
Few besides Roy Bucannon and Danny could be called MASTER of the Telecaster

 

[jwl68th]

  You're right, Danny was the Man !!  I could never really understand why he didn't become a HUGE star.

 

[Jusatele]

HE had a day job, and he was doing alright.
Seriously, he played because he loved it, but had a day job he was loyal to

that is what I heard anyway, and that was before he died.

 

[jwl68th]

If I could play half as good as he did, there's no way I'd have a day job!!

 

[Jusatele]

The best guitarist I know have day jobs
getting famous is a crap shoot, and believe me if only the best got famous that is a sad thing considering Tom Delonge is famous.
It is not a matter of how good you are, it is a matter of how willing you are to gamble everything on giving it your all.
There are thousands of musicians living not so great lives eaking out a living for every one that makes it to the big time, weather they be a guy in the back of a music store teaching lessons, to a guy who has been gigging for 35 years and never got discovered. The whims of the industry also men that once you get discovered, you will have 3 albums to become a super star or reside in the "where are they now" file.

 

[jwl68th]

I'm not arguing the fact of musicians and day jobs, It's just that I don't feel like working anymore.LOL

 

[Jusatele]

I am with you on that one
:headbang: :headbang: :headbang:

Thanks, Jusatele.  Here's another:  Joe Pass, RIP.  Layin' down some blues in a wholly different realm.

Why so you did.  Apparently my memory ain't what it used to be.  Nothing wrong with him being mentioned twice in a list of admired artists, however.

Albert King and SRV's "In Session" is cracking good stuff.

 

[Death by Uberschall]

Add in Jimi and SRV and you've got mine covered.
