Axis:Bold as love. He's become almost a cliché it the way that Thriller has in that they have (wrongly) beome indisputably ackowledged as the best, but christ that man plays guitar like no other. Little wing is the greatest guitar song ever written.

Immitated so well people copied his mistakes.

My favourite guitarists are Al Di Meola, John McLaughlin and Allan Holdsworth.

Two of them Yorkshiremen!

Mostly this past few weeks I've been listening to Mastodon, Steely Dan, Grandaddy, Stevie Wonder and Return to Forever.

At the risk of incurring your wrath Doc, one of mine is Paco de Lucia, who did a tour with Di Meola and McGloughlin some years back. It was the biggest load of bollox I ever heard. Sorry.

Wrath fully incurred

!
It's amazing! The CD - Friday Night in San Francisco is superb. Three virtuosos strumming and plucking their stuff! The acoustic guitar never sounded so good!

Memory's not what it was, but didn't one of them end up playing with a spoon? Not sure why. Maybe I'm a "tuneful" type, but some of that seemed just like "did you know there were notes like this? " I suppose it's one of the reasons I prefer Julian Bream to John Williams. Williams is technical perfection whereas Bream is more "human" if you can understand my logic. Not to say they aren't all genius's in what they do, just personal preferences I suppose. After my attempts, Hank Marvin sounds like Segovia. :

BBC have made this Mendelssohn weekend on Radio 3.

Not heard any of it, but have played his violin concerto twice, because that prompted me, and it's a favourite piece of music. In its opening and slow movement especially, achingly beautiful...

Mentioned em before, but been listening to this from Radio 1 Big Weekend

http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/bigweekend/ ... hemachine/

Her first album is out on 6th July and is already attracting some rave reviews. Been bit worried that the hype and expectation would drag the debut down but based on initial responses this doesn't seem the case!

I always fancied being burned whilst the words belted out "I am the god of hellfire, and I bring you...".

Or perhaps Going Underground. But I'm a little claustrophobic, so I might need a bell.

Taking advantage of a free CD from today's Mail on Sunday- Best of the Classical Brits- playing it right now. Definitely not over-priced. Nice album of popular classics.

A good friend went to the end at Overdale to 'sympathy for the devil'.

Jefferson Airplane for me at the moment.

Try looking at the "vid" for this (Somebody to love) in a dark room...

The one to Tobacco Road ain't too bad either and has more moving parts...

Sounds deeply intelligent from that title. More Viz than vid I'd think.

Loco - The Fun Lo C. With an accompanying 2007 Corbieres, let me assure you, this evening finds me feeling no pain whatsoever.
