Scott,
Been a long time! I am sitting here with covid19 watching great musicians play live (which we ALL miss!) on youtube and I was wondering what you think of the Aristocrats. I was just watching them play Louisville Stomp live and another trio (like yours!) that I think just take musicianship to another level. Any thoughts? Hope you and family are well! Stay safe and can't wait for see all you get back out there once this is all over.
I've never heard them, but I've heard Guthrie. I think he's brilliant, even though I don't listen much to that style of guitar playing. I get kinda weary of so many notes going on - my favorite players are more about making the guitar lyrical and vocal sounding. There are a few guys I like who play a lot of notes, like Kurt Rosenwinkel and Allan Holdsworth, but I find the harmony more interesting. Guthrie is playing on vamps and very simple progressions - lots of notes over that kind of harmony isn't my thing. But again, he's a great player with unbelievable chops - he, EVH and Andy Timmons are my favorite players in that style.
