I have a dear friend named David R. who's recently become a huge blues rock guitar fan. In fact, he purchased a newer ZZ Top CD and an older Johnny Winter/Rick Derringer live album circa 1970 to turn me on to what are some of his favorites. I would like to return the favor. However, since he travels a lot and does not have access to a fine CD player (I am a HiFi snob) and because I want to share my recommendations to the world, I thought it best to write a notems with some links to the greats/great songs. So, here we go:
1. Alvin Lee and Ten Years After
2. Rory Gallagher
3. Frank Marino
4. Pat Travers
5. Les Dudek
6. Little Feat
7. Dickey Betts
8. Derek Trucks
9. Joe Bonamassa
10. Robben Ford

14. Joe Walsh
15. Fanny
16. Johnny Guitar Watson
17. Frank Zappa

Then you wait, or you reach out to people who seem like they might get it. It's LinkedIn for people who peaked at open mic night. It's Match.com if everyone's profile picture were their pedalboard, and ...
Years ago, I began noticing something in music that didn't make much sense to me.I would walk into a small club and hear an extraordinary musician.Not good.Extraordinary.The kind of player who makes you stop talking and pay attention.Perhaps fifty people were in the room.A few miles away, thousands of people might be paying considerably more ...
Artificial intelligence can write computer code, analyze spreadsheets, summarize documents, create presentations, explain complicated subjects and answer questions that once required hours of research.And it is getting better remarkably quickly.It would therefore seem reasonable to conclude that expertise is becoming less valuable.I think the opposite may be ...
