We were kinda getting off track in the Stevie Ray thread, so I thought I would start another one for various guitar gods. I don't know how many folks have heard of Greg Koch but he is a very talented guitarist from here in Wisconsin. Does a lot of promo work for Fender. He also has a great sense of humor and does a lot of teaching videos as well. Here is Tonus Diabolicus. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

A classic: Never heard of the man, will have to research him a bit. I was always a big fan of the Ventures stuff, they covered Apache as well. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

A classic: You don't know The Shadows? Cliff Richard's backing band? Hank Marvin was the lead guitarist in The Shadows. They were very famous over here. "I'm trying to maintain a shred of dignity in this world." - Me |

It seems that a lot of videos of Dire Straits have been removed from YouTube, so I couldn't find the one I wanted to link to to illustrate how Mark Knopfler is singing duet with his guitar, Six Blade Knife from their first self-titled album Dire Straits. Here's another instead: Dire Straits - Down To the Waterline "I'm trying to maintain a shred of dignity in this world." - Me |

Nice 'Red House'! Vai is a monster....one of my favorite things is this scene from the movie Crossroads, where he plays the devil's advocate in the headcutting contest. If I recall correctly, Ry Cooder did the acoustic work. EDIT to replace link. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

So I'm looking for a cool Jeff Healey Clip, right? And I find this! Killer cut!!! And considering the fact that he has been blind since he was 1 year old. Dunno if that was Dr. John or not though.. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

So I'm looking for a cool Jeff Healey Clip, right? And I find this! Why can't you find a vid you think is cool yourself? It sure looks like Dr. John on piano. I think Jeff said that also before his solo. "I'm trying to maintain a shred of dignity in this world." - Me |

So I'm looking for a cool Jeff Healey Clip, right? And I find this! LOL....I don't think he was asking for help to find a vid, he was asking for help in finding out whether that was Dr. John or not. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

How 'bouts Sonny Landreth? Some pretty neat bottleneck guitar and some really cool techniques employed. And this bit with John Hiatt. And World Away. His technique is just really entertaining to watch. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |
