I really like this. You can't argue with great entertainment and cool playing like this. Anyone who doesn't enjoy this probably also doesn't enjoy a lot of other fun things in life (grin!)
@jwlloyd76 it's a shame you can't hear the genius in his playing. FYI he is rated by Guitar Magazine as one of the top fifty guitar players of all time.
@direct3460 Oh, well, if he's on a list, I must be wrong. I have seen these lists of "Top Guitarists" and they are blindly biased towards rock, electric, blues and pop players. A "Best guitarists" list without Django Reinhardt, Paco de Lucia, Clarence White, Tony Rice, Doc Watson, Tommy Emmanuel, Chet Atkins, James Burton, Jerry Reed, Bryan Sutton, Wes Montgomery, Pat Metheny, Joe Pass, or a thousand other players is catering to a very narrow audience and is a sketchy reference at best.
@direct3460 These players defined and influenced guitar from there to eternity. Monte has chops, but it seems that he relies on chops more than sound to create his style. I'm not here to critique his playing, but I stand by my original comment: I find that his music all begins to sound the same after a few listens. Thank you for your input, tho.
"It all sounds the same" is the standard critique of casual listeners who can't (or can't be bothered) to hear the subtleties. The same could be said of any of the players you mentioned to establish your 'expertise.'
I get goosebumps every time @ that last, harmonized "wishing weeeeeeeeeee-EEEEEEEE-e-ELLLLLLLLLLLL"!
