Gary Myrick for Asher Guitars

[w8geek]

As much as I admire and idolize Gary Myrick, I have a difficult time watching him say the word, "uhm", in every sentence. It just reeks of not knowing why someone is jamming a camera in his face, and he IS a trained professional. C'mon, Gary, really?!

Mr. Myrick is one of the very few that can be called a legend!

[Frombonics]

[spinefex]

[mx6lover]

I just found out about Mr. Myrick today! From what I can tell he is EXTREMELY CREATIVE & COOL INDIVIDUAL. He wrote most if not all his WORKS!

He Loves Motorcycles! Big UP! & he's aging beautifully! (odd to mention but TRUE!)

His 3 major albums are being Re-released, so check them out!

[dasenuff]

shit gary! you dont look like the gary i used to k no wback in the 80's

[mx6lover]

oh course he DOES! Who the hell still looks like they did from back in the 80's.

You should invent a time machine and go back and live there..for ever & EVER!

[dasenuff]

i used to work at a club where gary used to play quite a bit...imagine seeing a person over and again then not seeing them for years ... thats what i meant..he looks so different is all.

[mx6lover]

I'm sorry , I didn't mean to snap or come off wrong. I now understand what you meant.

[dasenuff]

s'ok... he still palys great dod'nt he!

[mx6lover]

Yeah, he sure does... I actually spoke to him since they are re-issuing 3 of his albums.

He's a cool guy too..easy to talk to.

hey hey!!!! Isnt it great to see a US celebrity /musician that has not opted for surgery or Botox !!!!! He Looks great , i was thinking how good he looked for his age !!! I am thinkin if he was big in the 80s he must be late 40s early 50s /

So hes lookin great and also he is a talent ...for sure!!

[gemee1]

@candidcomment Try closer to 60!!

Mr.Myrick and I are realated my name is Eric Myrick

[Radioaxiom]

Mr. Myrick is a genius and nothing less than an American Treasure. Super cool and a great player.

[fengsel]

Exentric exentric! Amazing guitar. What kind of amp is mr.Myrick using on this take?

[MOTORCYCLECRASH5]

THAT IS A LINE 6 FLEXTONE 2

[tulesprings]

feel bad because i mentioned in a previous post that he looked strung out at a gig i attended in sf but have to say that this vid really reaffirms that he is still one of my favorite players.

[oldphoque]

I`d love to see Havana 3am again. Saw them at Bogarts LB years ago. That is an impressive instrument. But, everything that lap guitar does, I can do with my semi hollow and a blues bottle or finger splint. I wanna hear it without effects. I am interested rather than being a critic.

[hippopowernow]

What a phenomenally great guitarist who never got his proper respect. When I was in a garage band back in the early eighties, he caught my attention with some great playing on the "guitar talk" mtv vid. This is hot stuff too; I hear alot of Eastern and other influences. Great!!!

[gafur55]

wow nice that looks sick (by sick i meen cool u no) dam wow nice hey can i add u

[kittie91208]

hey gary, its raven, ur student at the academy, and thats an awesome guitar! u never showed me that u can play with a slide like that! pretty good playing! "the lonley king", thats an awesome name for a guitar, so original, see ya soon

[gmyrick]

as a fellow Myrick, I just have to say WOW. Great stuff Gary.

[DrRobDammet]

Gary's 80s albums were underrated gems...but my band always included a Myrick cover like "She Talks in Stereo" or "Model" in our shows to pay tribute and someone would invariably come up yo us to ask "Who was THAT song by, cuz I HAVE to get it." Nice to see Gary play again. C'mon Gary, get your original band together and rock us again!

[usasportswarrior]

Let's see, Gary is a brillant guitarist, writer, graphic artist, has a wonderful guitar collection, and one of the only rock stars to keep a full head of hair! Can't get enough of his playing!

[DrRobDammet]

You and the Lonely King talk in MF Stereo, Gary.

Thanks for the demo.

[NowhereGirl79]

Gary your guitar is superb. Good job ASHER!! Thanks for sharing. -R

[greg6494]

thanks for posting this, always a pleasure to see gary in action.

[asherguitars]

Wow Gary. Thanks so much for showing off your lap steel that I had so much fun building for you. Your technique is really unique and playing style quite rootsy and captivating. You really show how versatile players can be on a lap steel. Cheers buddy! -Bill Asher

[ANGELSVEN]

Gary and The Lonely King ~ instant classic!
