I just love this stuff.  After all the serious music, this is just cotton candy, all driven by the late Rutger Gunnarson, and I just can't help myself:



Gunnarson worked with the original Hagstrom on a bass of his own, recreated faithfully by the current iteration of Hagstrom:

I will concede on your Swede, and raise you some Grand Ole Nashvegas Tele-shred.





(*quietly laments to himself, that young gunslinger had yet to be born last time he played on that stage...)

Heard the audio for this before he released this home video.  The video doesn't add much except for those who like to see how he plays the lines.  But the composition is intriguing; I've listened to it several times, and I'll need to listen several more just to begin to appreciate what he's doing melodically and harmonically.

I listened recently as well. Some very unusual things going on there. Vai is one of a kind. Looking forward to seeing him in March.

Is that the original Brown Bass?

Maybe, that show was from 1976 and I believe his original brown bass was made in 1973.

Fanfare for the Common Man just came on the radio, pretty cool!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Bill, tgo

I've been listening to Fried Glass Onions Vol1 & 2. Like many cover compilations there is the occasional arrangement that does nothing for me but overall they are all very good. On a side note in a former band we use to cover their arrangement of She Came in Through the Bathroom Window and it always went over well with the audience.

Thanks Keith...
Discovering new groovy music is a special treat. 😎

To share  with greatest delight ,mine pleasure .
Be it now or latter ,willst thee listen ?
One canst judge such offerings ,devoid a taste .
A charge not asked , just thine moment, shalt be.
Mayst there be ,such a chance ? 💚
