Hi Adam, just spent an hour catching up on your videos, delving into them. I am nothing short of completely FLOORED! If the precision, creativity and groove aren't "stand out" in a class by themselves, your expression and energy is UNMATCHED. With all your Jax and Stevie stuff in the forefront, your Beatles covers are SO deep and compelling.THIS vid is just a THRILL. Merle Travis would be PROUD! It is a pleasure to know such a GREAT artist! With love and respect, your guitar brother! Peter
@petermazzajazzguitar Thanks man!!! The cros string thing here is so tricky, I have left this out of the shows for a while. Alwasy changing, growing...ya know? :-) Thanks again Peter!
Man, I can just tell you love what you do. I have a lot of respect for you and the way you play. With so much heart and soul. Don't ever stop man, I love it.
Beautiful man! Was wondering: Any chance you might consider recording something for us through the Baggs DI? I'm very curious about it (especially wirh the ES). Also - what's that fancy guitbox in the newer vids???
Threw me there at the start -- thought you were gonna go straight boogie-woogie on this one, then BLAM! Love the switch in styles at 0:25 -- and hey there city fella, that's some perrty dang good country pickin' (from a perrty dang good ol' county boy!) :-) Keep your own niche -- right there between jazz, fingerstyle, and bebop... that's the "Snicker's Spot". Peace and good travels, my friend.
Vinnie Vincent was actually good at this style.
