When he picks up the guitar it almost looks like there's a stinger on the headstock.

Note to self: Must learn how to make my guitar cluck like a chicken.

(Who will be the first to post a video of them doing it?)

No doubt a great guitarist, but I'd rather have gone next door to listen to Wes play any guitar, any day.

find me a vid of wes rawking a burst. that was my supposition.

as far as wes>george? george would be the first to agree. his love of wes is well documented. pretty sure he still owns wes's main l5.

Yeah Matte, I understand the supposition, as far as the baddest on a 'Burst is concerned it holds. My pedantry was in a wider sense, and somewhat irrelevant to your post. My apologies.

That is the earliest lineup for RTF. Long before Al Dimeola (another badass Burst player) joined! :eek:la

Yep, at that time Wes would have been king for me, too. George was 100% from the school of Wes ...well maybe some CC. But within 20-25 years of this video George had taken the bebop/melodic jazz guitar genre as far as Martino had taken the bebop/modal side of it. Guys like Mark Whitfield may have taken the chops to even greater perfection but IMO, George is the only player from that school to ever approach the type of prolific command of melody and harmony as someone like Charlie Parker. Bereli comes from a slightly different school of jazz but he is also close to having a "Bird" on guitar. Man I love these guys...

One of the few musicians to make me slightly embarrassed to have an opinion on anything... he doesn't just have it all, he has more. If George is to be considered a brilliant musician, which he undeniably is; Mr Lagrene, who can play in any style, is considered by me to be a consummate one.

Further reminding me of my own churlishness is the old adage: "comparisons are odious, love that which you prefer.."
