Nice. McLaughlin is probably one of the best players ever technically, I find him really bland to listen to though. Funnily enough Jeff Beck calls him the greatest player alive Each their own, these are a few of my fav's. You play right Brockton?

I suggest starting with some basic chords (unless your surname is King) after learning how to tune and hold the instrument. You could do worse than look up a Mr Burt Weedon and give yourself a day to master the basics. Also make sure you are wearing a shiny new silver whistle and a pink shirt and tie.

These aren't live or anything, but two of my favourite things ever written for the guitar. \

My good friend Johnny Francis. Not sure where this fits into your thread but he's the coolest mother fucker I know.

Dope man, I can play that same tune myself Wish I had a proper steel guitar though.

If you really like that style, check out guys like Sylvester Weaver, Furry Lewis, Bukka White, John Hurt, Willie McTell etc. Legends.

super but this guy has so much damn reverb on there it covers up the first note of each little arpeggio almost. between that steel and the 'verb it is like being in the Lincoln Tunnel and hearing it bounce back at you in a millisecond time delay. Very good and interesting effect.

Eric Clapton, Brian May, Sting, Pete Townshend, John Lennon, Paul McCartney and countless others were all "taught" by this man.........what a musical influence on everybody he had.
