Justus A. Picker Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 Excellent stuff. I'd like to hear him with Coryell, who's always been a favorite. I'm sure you'll remember this old chestnut: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CnonbFOx8O4 http://www.smokedsalmonband.com/exile/exile1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griffinator Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 Nothing emotionless there. Great stuff, a rollicking good jam! A bunch of loud, obnoxious music I USED to make with friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fumblyfingers Posted March 17, 2007 Author Share Posted March 17, 2007 Yeah HT I just don't get why Bireli is not more of a "household" name, especially within the guitar player community. Plus he has been known as an amazing guitar player/ child prodigy since his teens. Yeah Justus, good vid I love that School Days groove. I remember when SC came out and it was just a rich time musically. I know lot of guys in my gen just hated fusion, but for me it was just a great time of discovery on the guitar. I could not get enough and had a buddy or two on the same wavelength so we would have these awesome jam sessions, often on acoustic just ripping it up.....well our version of that LOL. But the great guitar players and bass players...musicians in general....from that era Stanley Dlarke, Al Di Meola, McGlaughlin, Herbie, Chick, Jaco, Larry Carlton and Coryell, Ritenour, Abercrombie, Scofield, Cobham, Jan Hammer, Jean Luc Ponty, Tommy Bolin, De Johnette, Gadd, Tom Scott, Anthony jackson, Steve Khan, Pat Metheny, Steve Morse and the Dregs ec etc etc etc And the music seemed connected in a way. Big differences in all the albums but a common thread running through it. It seems that somewhere in there, music schools started advertising. And then there was GIT in Hollywood which was big into the style and as it turned out that so many of these players came from the schools like Berklee and the one in Florida, GIT etc etc there was a big emphasis on the educational side of it and being "schooled" I think it was a very good time for guitar and the rock spin off, for lack of a better term, from all of that was great also. The single big thing I think came out of the fusion era,as far as guitar is concerned, was technique. Guys like Eddie,Yngwie and Vai really took it to another level. Just my personal observation of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems to the one of the few prodigies I know of that made a successful transition from "wonder kid" to adult without crashing and burning. He's awesome. The connection he has on the instrument is astounding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
