Great guitarist and great singer

[James C]

After reading the thread on Zappa plays EVH, I think that a mention needs to go to both Frank Zappa and Dweezil Zappa - saw the ZPZ gig on artsworld a month or so ago and DZ is an amazing guitarist with a very good voice, listened to some of the original tracks and Frank was awesome too.

Just been looking at all this stuff has made me trawl through some of Mr Kotzen's videos.
He does so many quirky things on a technical level
Guthrie Govan clearly loves his playing
Far too many notes :)

Yeah, but he can also do this stuff  :) :

He's been in some big bands
You would think he could afford a shirt

He's been in some big bands
You would think the poor bugger could afford a shirt by now

I kind of like Joe Bonamassa....

If I looked like that I'd probably go shirtless too...

Don't mean this in an argumentative way, but I just don't "get" John Mayer.  He does absolutely nothing for me.  :?

That's fair enough Philly.  :) I didn't used to like his stuff to be honest, but I'd only ever heard the poppy side. It was his blues playing and the stuff he did with Pino Palladino and Steve Jordan, as the John Mayer Trio, that got me into his playing.

[Philly Q]

I haven't heard the trio stuff, I'll try to check it out.  :)

About a minute in he shows more chops than I gave him credit for

Oh definitely!

The solo stuff is ignorable :P

Get Continuum.

I'm surprised he hasn't been mentioned yet, but Jeff Lang is amazing.

I love how he mixes acoustic and electric..

Oh ofcourse! Another absolutely fantastic combination.

I've never heard of him, but I've enjoyed watching his YouTube clips for the last half hour.

His appearance has changed a lot over the years - I wasn't sure it was the same bloke a few times!

John Butler. Jeff Buckley.
