I stumbled across this the other day Joe Bonamassa, playing a guest guitar of the late Rory Gallagher at the Royal Albert Hall

This is the (I believe) unrecorded "Guitar Trio" with Larry Coryell, instead of Al DiMeola. John McLaughlin & Paco were the constants... In some ways, that's an improvement, though I love everything the MacDeDi trio did, and they were more "together" musically.

Larry Coryell's fame included jamming once with Jimi Hendrix, 1968? 1967, maybe. Coryell at the time was still trying to edge into rockstar fame using the old-fashioned "work your way up" jazz career track. He got up on stage with Hendrix and played his million-and-a-half notes, the bebop-approved gnat-note version of "getting down." And Hendrix just looked at him; and then played the biggest loudest Strat->Fuzz Face ->Wah->UniVibe->gigantic plural stacks of Marshalls
ROWR!
the world had ever known. Game over, Coryell went home and shot heroin for a decade. He's somewhat "back" here. But still, the best part of the whole clip is around 4:27. Coryell had just finished his take of a somewhat-matured jazz gnatnote trip, diddle diddle fiddle wee-wee diddle diddle etc. And at 4:27 DeLucia just looks at him like "you po-oor little thing, you" and then goes gnat-hunting with a ten-ton steamroller. John McLaughlin could hang right in there, even lightly toasting DeLucia once in a while in a friendly way. But Coryell & DeMeola were only there because they were among the few people in the entire world who could play the parts/charts for this stuff, but the soloing... dear god, NObody expected the Spanish Inquisition!

Probably feel. When I put on headphones, my fretless intonation went flying out the window. But When I used a seat shaker with the phones, my intonation and timing both tightened up a lot. If you think about it, the difference between just a little bit past "sorta loud" and peeling paint off the walls - it's really about feel after about 85db or so.

That makes sense.
I know myself and a number of guys I've talked to say getting into live performance after just practicing for an extended period requires a learning curve to get past the volume. The guitar is just... weird... almost frightening... until you get used to it. Feels way different.

Rich Girl, Gwen Stefani. Just one of those days when I don't know what's wrong with me, but I like it.
