It is not often you get to compare great guitarists shredding the very same song, but here is one that may make you give up your guitar playing forever, or inspire it, one or the other. What we have here is three great guitarists-- Larry Carlton (Steely Dan, Foreplay, Joni Mitchell among many other venues), Lee Ritenour (Captain Fingers himself, also in Foreplay among other venues), and Steve Lukather (Toto of course). Lukather of course is strictly a rock guitarist, and it shows, where as the other...

One category we haven't much talked about are the balladeers or troubadours.

Sunt sigur ca ati constat deja ca in ultimii ani, odata cu aparitia blogurilor de muzica si a fenomenului MySpace completat de surogatele sale mai mult sau mai putin performante, Marea Britanie s-a transformat intr-o cloaca inepuizabila de formatii aparute exact ca si ciupercile mutante dup-o ploaie acida. Cu alte cuvinte, cand zilnic apar sute sau chiar mii de tineri pregatiti asiduu si eclectic sa rupa gura targului, devine aproape imposibil sa distingi adevarata valoare si sa nu cazi prada entuziasmului...
