The lousy camerawork is mine & I apologize. The ushers at that place were killer.

WOW!!! good work ... that clip alone could separate schon from luke fans.. where schon is rock
and melody , this is just crazy bizzare , every technique known to guitar... luke is nuts,,, this was
cool beyond,, even the banging on the saddle at the end was in key... i would classify Luke as
FAR OUT!!!! this would be an extremely difficult piece to pull off... nice work,.. both of you...

notice the 1:29 mark... its the lick from "Late Nite"..Rain is coming Down...

First I agree that Neal is just trying to shred way too much these days. His pentatonic warbling and overused sustainer is killing his tone and is unnecessary at best. He is very repetitious these days. Secondly and no offense to Larry from next door, but really, based on the you better wait i think you need to get your hearing checked. the playing is not bad but it is not the cleanest playing I have ever heard.

Been busy and haven't had a chance to read here much lately....missed this one but I will tell you now that maybe you need to get your hearing checked. Even if you do I doubt that will help you because you obviously do not have an ear for music or know a good guitarist when you hear one. If you didn't think his playing was up to your standards then you should have simply stated that or simply just shut up..which would have been a better choice, instead of saying that we all need our hearing checked. I have heard Larry's playing much more then you and therefore have more to judge by, but even based on that one song alone, the guy is an excellent guitarist, that is why Jeremey wanted him to play on it. Do you play? Are you an expert guitarist who we should respect the opinion of instead of trusting our own judgement? What qualifies you? Are musician's requesting that you play for them? I know what I hear, have had my ears checked, have excellent hearing and it sounds great to me!

[Gordon from Edinburgh]

Lindsey Buckingham - better
Ritchie Blackmore - better (wish he'd go back to rock though)

Neal only shreds these days - that's the truth.

Thank God! Some sense - listen to the out solo on Fleetwod Mac's Gypsy - that is seriously good guitar - and it is original.

Blackmore - well, he just delivers everything, mood, humour, technique, passion, great songs, showmanship and above all, people are still raving about stuff he wrote 25-35 years ago.

Ritchie Blackmore maybe turned more people on to guitars than anyone...........he is my favourite guitarist of all time.

Does Neal JUST shred, no, i think not , he is still a damned fine guitarist - i remember at one time he was EVH's favourite...
