A Little Sit Down Discussion and Jam

[just strum]

Ok, another what if:

What if you could pick any four artists to sit down and have a discussion and a little jam session. Instead of a jam session it could be just some guitar tips. The main part of the "what if" is who would you want at the table for a discussion? Living or deceased.

Mine:
Willie Nelson
Buddy Guy
Chrissie Hynde
Jimi Hendrix

I think Willie and Buddy have a lot of history that would be interesting to listen to. Chrissie because I thing she kicks a$$ and would provide a different perspective. Jimi Hendrix because of his unique approach to music at the time and I would like to be able to show him his popularity only became bigger and he was never forgotten.

Jimi cause he's funny and cause he's him.

Pagey just cause he's so dang weird and studio savvy...he's a great conversationalist.

Stevie Ray, and I'd just shut up and let him talk and play.

Alex Lifeson cause I've probably seen him the most out of everyone and because he's such a nice guy overall.

Nancy Wilson cause she's a baybeh and she plays a mean mandolin and acoustic. Probably has a lot of nice sweet things to say yeah.

Manilow ?

Barry Oakley in case you really didnt know.

No talking but would just love to sit in on a lil homespun porch swamp boogie!:Not sure if Mannilow could hang strum

[Jipes***]

I would love to have Chris Whitley (RIP Chris !)for poetry, honesty and intensity, Ry Cooder my musical hero (as for playing slide in all type of different music context) , Kelly Joe Phelps and Ani Difranco (the last two on how to write great songs).

since I have had the pleasure of sitting down with my guitar god Frank Hannon on several occasions and will again in the future...the 4 above will have to do.

Here's mine:

Alex Skolnick - made the transition from metal to pure jazz, and back to metal again, while still playing jazz. That would be an interesting conversation, I think.

Paul Gilbert - I wore out Racer X's Second Heat back in the day. His work with Racer X, Mr. Big and solo stuff is still awesome to me, too.

Chris DeGarmo - The more melodic player when he was in Queensryche. I'd love to jam with him.

Steve Vai - Passion and Warfare came out at an important time in my musical development. He hasn't stopped growing as a musician since.

I understand... but that is the shortened list. It pained me to have to limit to just four when there are so many great guitar players in different genres.:

Can't we just limit the list to Four-ty???

[marnold***]

George Lynch
SRV
Randy Rhoads
Tommy Emmanuel

I'd love to talk with all of them and learn from them, but I'm not sure how keen I'd be to jam with them. I don't like to look like a fool.
