Re: The EVHII Holy Grail
Hey Pete your the one who's being touchy. I just remarked that maybe you were too young to be around to realize just what an impact John had on every guitar player when he came out. This is not even a value judgement on my part but I did get to hear the Mahavishnu Orchestra in their formative years as the played an extended gig at the Cafe AU GoGo here in the Village to get their act together, which was pretty amazing. I would have to say that Jeff Beck probably influenced me more because it was the early Yardbirds that got me playing guitar and those first influences last forever. Larry Carlton is another good one though I didn't go through a Steely Dan phase. Did you ever work off of the Charlie Parker Omnibook? Thats a good one for bop phrasing. Oh yeah Charlie Christian had a book out on his solos too which I think they reissued but I have the original. If you want me to xerox it I will and then we can really talk about him [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]
