exelente

And I think now he found a solution for that problem. At least in a live setting ;-). Oh, and yes: "Land Of The Midnight Sun" is a fantastic record!!!! :-)

@metamorphosis67 Again. Have you listened to "Live From Seattle And Elswhere"? I know what you mean with sentimental concerning his "World Sonfonia" project, but that record is different. It`s a great working band at their best. Innovative and refreshing. His technique is only one aspect, of his playing. Keeping in mind that he is a jazz musician it`s primarily the choice of notes, the melodies he`s creating while improvising. Technique alone never makes a good player.

@nassreiskulturen Actually "World Sinfonia" was the beginning of Al's music getting too syrupy & sentimental for my tastes with all that overdone bandoleon, never mind the routine solos. I prefer his first album, "Land of the Midnight Sun" where he was a raw, young, hungry fusion player to anything he's done since. Al's style of extreme technique is old hat now & not very exciting whereas I still find Lenny Breau & Tommy Emmanuel fresh & exhilirating.

@metamorphosis67 When I saw him with the "World Sinfonia" last october, I thought he had finally found a way to integrate these high speed lines into his playing. Not that he hadn`t before, but when I watched him back then, it just made totally sense ;)

@metamorphosis67 I have a different impression, when I listen to his recent albums. For me "Live from Seattle and Elsewhere" and "Diabolic Inventions and Seduction for Solo Guitar, Vol. 1: Music of Astor Piazzolla" are some of his best efforts. His playing on those records is so lyrical and empathic and anything but "robotic" plus his compositions on the first are really innovative and great. But I know what you where referring to.

@metamorphosis67 john mclaughlin 1st in technique! al dimeola 3rd! lol

[metamorphosis67]

@dorian411 He's imprisoned by his own perfect technique. After a while it becomes robotic. That's why his recent albums are boring. He was fresh & mind-blowing in the 70s though. Paco (2nd best in technique) is also somewhat imprisoned by the flamenco tradition. McLaughlin (3rd best in technique) is the best musician of the 3 going from progressive Jazz "My Goal's Byond" "Extrapolation" to Mahavishnu to Shakti to this flamenco-inspired period to Trio with Trilok Gurtu to Remember Shakti.

shite, I so dislike it when Al picks his highest speed riffs and mutes the strings. He seems to almost always do this.
