Check out this jam. Ever heard an L5 through a Marshall Stack?

I've seen lots of Jan Akkerman vids, but this is a new one on me.
Guys got skills, and a killer rhythm section!

Man, Tio, I dug the hell outta that!

You're right, the rhythm section just slays on this tune. I love this kind of funky, rocky, jazzy, instrumental stuff.

I'm gonna listen to it again.

believe it or not, I had never heard of Jan until I read this post. I enjoyed listening to some of his music on YouTube, thanks

That was terrific. I've been a fan of Jan's ever since "Hocus Pocus". Thanks, Tio!

Jan's been around for ever. Focus and the tune Hocus Pocus were an early Prog sensation.

This is his current manifestation (check out the mini rotary wave on his stack, same make as my mini amp!) get into it 2 -3 minutes before you let it go...

That was...

AWESOME!!!

I've never seen a guitarist approach playing like that. His thumb strum is a bass technique that I've never seen done on guitar. What a fantastic and innovative player!

And that bassist....:thumbsup :dude

Thanks for sharing Tio!
