Wilco - Nels Cline
Watching Austin City Limits on PBS tonight. Wilco is on, with lead guitarist Nels Cline. He is playing some pretty sweet leads and licks, then sometimes getis into this buzzsaw thing where he speed picks his jazzmaster in some sort of frenzy. His leads and melodies are really great. The buzzsaw thing I am still getting used to. Jeff Tweedy, the singer and a rhythm player, has a nice voice and plays rhythm nicely. They have a bunch of guitars up there sometimes with the other guys in the band. Haven't really paid attention to these guys before. Anyone else watched these guys?
