ok regardless of the fact that his bus dumped crap on people…
i would be remiss if i didn’t mention one Mr. Dave Matthews in this list of great guitar players. Dave has his own special style. he is a beast of a player, but what makes him even better is the band that surrounds him. these cats can play. so they complement his unique style of…

so i quoted a myth the other day…
about how Eddie Van Halen said Phil Keaggy was the greatest guitar player. a friend pointed out that the quote was also contributed to Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton, but there is no written, audio or video proof that it happened in any occasion so it is definitely urban legend. that being said. Phil Keaggy…

i love creative churches….
and this is one that has been brought to my attention as of late. NorthRidge Church in Plymouth Michigan. they have some cool creatives going on. here is a “rewind” video of their church. notice the awesome sets and video work. amazing. was pointed to their site which introduced me to the church. this is…

back to guitar players….
let me say right off that bat. i’m not a huge fan of country music. i like certain songs, but the genre as a whole doesn’t excite or really hit me as earth shattering. i like certain artists and would probably buy a few songs. that being said, there are some AMAZING musicians and singers…

i couldn’t help but copy this…this is what i don’t want to be…
a letter to the affluent church Jeff Goins Dear Christian, Please stop complaining about the economic recession in America. Seriously. It’s beginning to bug me. I’m bothered by the mass layoffs as much as the next person, but I just can’t help but be irked by how you’re coping with this so-called crisis. So, if…

another guitar great….
i remember being a 7th grader and hearing the opening synthesizer chords to a song called “Jump” and wondered what is this? then it got to the guitar solo, then i rewound the tape and listened to the solo again. i remember thinking i might get in trouble for listening to this because the cupid…

so i watched the Oscar’s last night…
i was very excited for the 8 wins for “Slumdog Millionaire”. any time a low budget Indie film about real people can beat the Hollywood machine, i’m all for it. i thought the actor awards were pretty much ok. i thought Heath Ledger was great in “The Dark Knight” but if he had still been…

well…until Jason Bradford sends me some footage….
of him shredding, we will have to move on with my other favorite guitar players. today i want to talk about a guy that you probably don’t know, but you may know his work. he’s actually a buddy of mine here in Dallas. we haven’t gotten to hang out lately which is sad, but that…

well since i still haven’t written that “grammy” post yet…
i thought i might continue with something i started yesterday… for the next little bit, i’m going to write about my favorite guitar players… these might be obscure session guys, or some guitar player from a band. or they may be some huge global artist. genre doesn’t matter because a great guitar player is a…

a new guitar player i’m jazzed about…
i’ve been a fan of Saturday Night Live as long as i’ve been old enough to make sure my parents went to sleep so i could sneak back into living room to watch it in the dark on Saturday nights. one of the mainstays throughout the seasons has been an amazing band of professional-world class…
