    Purple,

    I am not terribly keen on the 'funk' style of guitar playing, which imho should stay in the supermarkets next to the frozen pork, but Larry Carlton should not be overlooked. Some of his stuff recorded with the LA Express is worth a listen. Here he is playing with Lee Ritenour.

    Larry Carlton

    One of my very favorite Jazz guitarists was Grant Green, woefully underexposed and a complete master of his genre. Every jazz guitarist has a little of Green in their playing and most wish they came half-way to mastering his technique. Here he is playing 'Two For One'. Recorded in 1962 this is taken from the two disc set 'The Complete Quartets' and even after thousands of plays, some of these pieces still make the hair on my neck rise. This is a long download.

    Grant Green

    Cheers - HS

    Awesome! Was just introduced to the percussive stylings of Mr McKee tonight by a bandmate and was about to humbly submit the link for perusal. I realize now how little I know of my instrument,....lol

    And while I'm here, kudos on the Jimi link to "Machine Gun". That one is an all time favorite from back in the day and he will always have a special place in the collective of my music and memory. I was hooked on Jimi since I first heard "Foxy Lady" at 15 whereupon I submitted the patrons of my high school cafeteria to his music as "DJ" (one of the easiest credits I picked up). I bought every album officially released and a few bootlegs and played them constantly. I admired his raw talent, emotive style and innovations in technique and sound. The dub folks hated him (which was a bonus at the time). He inspired me to pick up an instrument, pour my soul into it and "wave my own freak flag high"

    Cream was also a huge influence and I still love to hear "White Room", "Tales of Brave Ulysses" and "Strange Brew" (the last one being a favorite cover song in the band i play in)

    Purp - your thread inspired me to pop in one of my favorites;

    Craig ChaQuico - Acoustic Planet

    Don't know if anyone else has mentioned this album - but it worth a listen.
