Well the name of the post is kinda the point.

If you love great guitar playing (by which i dont mean senceless shred btw) as in great feel, phraseing, wonderfull composition and great technique throughout check www.brettgarsed.com .

If you like what you hear on it order big sky......i did and im blown away.

This guy has just the kinda style i strive for. Melodic soulfull playing with smooth as it gets tone and legato technique amongst many other great things.

I was compelled to share by just how good the album is.

Yeah I have heard some of his stuff- you are accurate in your assessment- melodic and tuneful and he does not widdle about aimlessly for the sake of it. Great heads up there.

A couple of vids from his new instructional/live dvd can be seen there.

"got the horn" is a good track to take a listen to.

Thought this might be worth adding for anyone wanting to check bretts stuff out.

Yeah I've noticed a slight similarity with Brett Garsed and Shawn Lane, even though their styles are quite different. I guess it's that very fluid fusiony sound but incredibly tasteful. They both use(d) low output PAF style pups as well (DM Virtual PAF for Garsed and Air Classic for Lane). I love their tones and fancy some low output pups for my Ibanez, but I7m still undecided!

Exactly and Garsed has a Bluesbucker in the neck, which is a Dimarzios P90 in humbucker format.
I'm also interested in somthing like the Mule/MQ Combo, or Mule set.

Anyway, what I like about Garsed is
a) he's extremely melodic!!
b) his unbelivable fluidity, I mean it all looks totally effortless, and he's playing some heavy stuff there without being repetitive.
c) He plays great slide! Not in the classical blues way but more in a fusiony way.
d) I think it's exrtemely cool how he just looks away from the guitar or even  closes his eyes while improvising (yes the solos are improvised)!!!

Oh, and talking about similarities between Lane and Garsed...they are/were both huge Holdsworth fans. I think that explains it :D
