I didn't want to hijack one of the other threads here with this so instead, here goes. Let's see some stuff that you don't usually listen to that you really like. For example, I love hard rock/metal but lately I've been getting into a lot of Jerry Reed. This video is just smokin' hot. I love the way he plays.

Show us some people that a lot of us may not be familiar with. I'm sure most of you already know Jerry Reed but there may be quite a few that have never heard of him or have never heard him play.

and if you don't know Jerry, he's on the left. He was the truck driver (Snowman) in Smokey and the Bandit.
 
I have been really digging Redd Volkaert and Cindy Cashdollar individually but here they are together.  Both are monsters players and worthy of investigation.

I cut my teeth onstage doing C&W which I hated
I was a Southern and Hard rocker
then metal came around
I was the king of Hair metal
still love it
and now because there is no true Rock coming out I listen to a lot of Country Rock

but over it all

I love Elvis, have so many of his recordings, studio and live, and if someone else would play that style music, I would not even bother to listen


(funny I have a 33 rpm Kenny Roberts album on right now)

They named him after a man of the cloth....called him Amos Moses...

I grew up on Jerry Reed--had a rash of his 8-tracks from my grandpa. Without a doubt, one of the more modern masters of getting what he wanted out of a vinyl string guitar, and to be able to use it so successfully in the studio and live in concert. He had one of the casinos here in the UP as a stop for his most recent tour, but he sadly passed away before the tour got underway.

One of the genres that I really dig is guitar jazz. I became turned on with it after I listened to Django Reinhardt and simply how a cat could shred on an acoustic like he did, and with only two real working fingers.

But before I was into Django, I learned about jazz and pre-rock from Les Paul. Being from Wisconsin, I had to do a report and presentation about someone famous from Wisconsin for a school report. I was love nuts for guitars, and my parents refused to get me one, and I was absolutely floored by the sounds he could get out of an axe and a tape reel:

Les could also have a funny side:

Years ago when I lived at home, my late Dad would often talk about how Country music in Australia was different to that American stuff and how Slim Dusty just delivers the song and manages to do a great job at it. No fancy guitar picking licking stuff...

Personally, my Dad's ranting about this put me off Australian Country music, but I am sure my Dad was smiling from above when this song was presented so well by Slim Dusty at the close of the Sydney Olympics in 2000. This has to be the best presentation of how to do this song in Australian Country style, very straight simple guitar chord playing underneath and modest lyric presentation. I know when I watched this in 2000, I had one of thsoe moments when you remember what your parents had told you years before, suddenly making very good sense!

How culturally attached is 'Waltzing Matilda" to Australians you might ask? Well, in 2007 the Australian Football team competing for Olympic qualification in 2008 Beijing were winning their final qualification match and the active supporters' bay (where I was standing) started up this song as the final minutes of the match ticked away. The Australian goalie heard the song stopped and looked at us and grabbed his heart, and gave a big thumbs up and the crowd afterwards said to us that it was the best way they'd heard the song portrayed as a way of final victory.....and very Australian. Special stuff.

But I could never get into Australian country - it was too vanilla for me. This, however, is a great presentation of it.

I'm a huge fan of Tom Waits, going through the excellent journey of only just discovering his music. And Tom is pretty much off everyones genre.  :occasion14:
 
I'm mostly hard rock, recently discovered EVH after dissin him when I was younger.  Into AC/DC, Def Leppard, Journey,  Been listening more to EVH lately and absolutely amazed at his rhythm guitar chops, as that's something I'm keenly interested in right now. How to come up with interesting rhythm guitar parts. Eddie's good at it, quite frankly a lot of 3 piece guitar players are. But....

Brad Paisley makes me want to just quit altogether. It's occurred to me that Brad HAS the one man wall o' sound busy rhythm thing down in a way that a lot of 'guitar legends' can only aspire to. Being able to sing, being good looking, pretty wife etc. on top of all that makes me want to go slash his tires.

You'll sure feel like you did after watching that Video! XD!
 
Die Antwoord is way weirder than Tom Waits... and that's saying something :tard:

I've loved Waits' music for over 15 years, so finding regular pop music that I like is more off my genre. Like this:

that song, is all about the song, it rules because it runs for the song
there is something to be said about that, After Clapton broke of with Cream he said in a few interviews that the songs were getting lost in the long improve sessions they were having in concert. And yet that was a huge part of the draw of the band.
I can understand what that means now, At first I was like WTF, I love the instruments wailing, But look at the CB song just linked, good melody and the instrumentation is all in the voice. Probably would never buy the CD, but love the song.

I've also been getting into Tom Waits recently. He's made so much music that becoming acquainted with his catalog really is like a journey. Just picked up this album ("Real Gone") the other day:

He's amazing, and so unlike anything else I listen to.

I'm a closet surf guitar fiend for sure

And this is WAY off my genre but this is just about the sickest groove ever written imo
