A Little Sit Down Discussion and Jam

[just strum]

Ok, another what if:

What if you could pick any four artists to sit down and have a discussion and a little jam session. Instead of a jam session it could be just some guitar tips. The main part of the "what if" is who would you want at the table for a discussion? Living or deceased.

Mine:
Willie Nelson
Buddy Guy
Chrissie Hynde
Jimi Hendrix

I think Willie and Buddy have a lot of history that would be interesting to listen to. Chrissie because I thing she kicks a$$ and would provide a different perspective. Jimi Hendrix because of his unique approach to music at the time and I would like to be able to show him his popularity only became bigger and he was never forgotten.

 

[oldguy]

Sonny Landreth
Frank Marino
Robert Renman
Stevie Ray Vaughan

 

[Spudman]

Joe Satriani
Richie Blackmore
Roine Stolt
Guthrie Govan

Just to add to it - for the discussion part of it is there any specific things you would want to ask and discuss?

 

[just strum]

Duane :master: & Barry:beer:

Manilow ?

 

[strumsalot]

In no particular order

SRV
Willie Nelson
Chet Atkins
Doc Watson

 

[Justaguyin_nc]

Mine:
Willie Nelson
Chrissie Hynde

Those two would be there..:AOK:

Probably add in
Django Reinhart to see Willie in awww..
and
Jerry Reed for the good times

Dunno if Chrissie Would like it.. but she knocks me out! :master:

 

[Tone2TheBone]

Jimi cause he's funny and cause he's him.

Pagey just cause he's so dang weird and studio savvy...he's a great conversationalist.

Stevie Ray, and I'd just shut up and let him talk and play.

Alex Lifeson cause I've probably seen him the most out of everyone and because he's such a nice guy overall.

Nancy Wilson cause she's a baybeh and she plays a mean mandolin and acoustic. Probably has a lot of nice sweet things to say yeah.

 

[mrmudcat]

Manilow ?

:rotflmao: Barry Oakley in case you really didnt know.:beer:

No talking but would just love to sit in on a lil homespun porch swamp boogie!:master:Not sure if Mannilow could hang strum:rockon:

 

[Jipes]

I would love to have Chris Whitley (RIP Chris !)for poetry, honesty and intensity, Ry Cooder my musical hero (as for playing slide in all type of different music context) , Kelly Joe Phelps and Ani Difranco (the last two on how to write great songs).

[Jimi75]

Jimi
Elvis
Hetfield

[Kazz]

Muddy, (the one this forum)
Strum
Rocket
CB and Shiner....

Oh wait

SRV
Ace Frehley
Eric Clapton
John Lennon

since I have had the pleasure of sitting down with my guitar god Frank Hannon on several occasions and will again in the future...the 4 above will have to do.

 

[Katastrophe]

Here's mine:

Alex Skolnick - made the transition from metal to pure jazz, and back to metal again, while still playing jazz. That would be an interesting conversation, I think.

Paul Gilbert - I wore out Racer X's Second Heat back in the day. His work with Racer X, Mr. Big and solo stuff is still awesome to me, too.

Chris DeGarmo - The more melodic player when he was in Queensryche. I'd love to jam with him.

Steve Vai - Passion and Warfare came out at an important time in my musical development. He hasn't stopped growing as a musician since.

 

[R_of_G]

Miles Davis
Jimi Hendrix
Marc Ribot
Tom Waits

I understand... but that is the shortened list. It pained me to have to limit to just four when there are so many great guitar players in different genres.:thwap:

Can't we just limit the list to Four-ty??? :beer:

 

[marnold]

George Lynch
SRV
Randy Rhoads
Tommy Emmanuel

I'd love to talk with all of them and learn from them, but I'm not sure how keen I'd be to jam with them. I don't like to look like a fool.

 

[Tone2TheBone]

Oops I posted 5. Keep Nancy in...sorry Alex.

 

[SuperSwede]

Mike Stern
Jimi
Joe Perry
Tone2thebone (if he brings his jubilee)

 

[Robert]

Oldguy, I'm humbled to be on your list!

My picks:

1. Miles Davis
2. John Coltrane
3. Jimi Hendrix
4. Albert King

 

[just strum]

Here's mine:

Kat,

I said a discussion, not the next Woodstock. Hmm, that brings up a good subject for a later date: Set up the line up for a three day 72 hour non-stop concert. - We'll have to get back to that one.

Looks like your house would be a nice half way meeting point for most of us.....

Allllllllllllllllllllllrighty then... Let's keep it to the first four and call it even...

The good news is that when you start the next thread, I'll already have a good lineup (minus Gatton and Django, of course). That response would take a while to compose... 72 hours of guitars, 2 hour sets per act = 36 guitarists. No problem!

 

[R_of_G]

Oldguy, I'm humbled to be on your list!

My picks:

1. Miles Davis
   
2. Jimi Hendrix
   

since robert and i have two of the same, we could co-host and have two more each.

 

[Robert]

Ahh, smart RofG! Then I'll add

1. Oscar Peterson
2. Wes Montgomery

 

[Algonquin]

Gordon Lightfoot
Burton Cummings
Andy Summers
Gord Downie

 

[sunvalleylaw]

Ok, I like some of the above lists a lot, and hate to leave SRV off this list, but going in a different direction, I will list:

EDIT, TO ADD REASONS- in addition to hanging and jamming with these guys

Buddy Holly - find out where the early songs/licks came from
Chuck Berry - same
Brian Setzer - modern application of vintage style, learn his jazz influences/techniques
The Edge - pedal/effect clinic, and rhythm clinic


Wait, I'll cohost with Tone and add on his SRV and Jimi choices, cause I want to know where they were coming from and just because.

That would be good because I'd like to party down with Brian. Good call.
