Technique

There are a few of these floating around YouTube, but this is my favorite. Richie Kotzen, live at the Baked Potato in 2012. I love the jam band quality of this. Intrigued by Richie's "no pick" technique, using the flesh of his thumb for softer strumming and the pads and nails of his other fingers for more pronounced strumming and soloing.

Peter Frampton - Off The Hook (Live in Detroit)

Rock

Frampton may be the most under rated guitar player of my generation. In this 90's classic, the exchange between Frampton and his drummer are mind-bending.

King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard - The Dripping Tap (Red Rocks ‘22)

Jam Band
Rock

Bought tickets for this show before covid, waited 3 years for this show to come around, and lordy they made the wait worth it. This is a jam of a song, but this particular performance shows their cohesion.

Hey Michael, Hope this finds you well! Given our rich history with the GuitarGate community and our brand new studio release “Waterline” I thought it could be time to review a SPACEFOLKS video?! This was recorded on a local radio program Rock98.com. It would be a tremendous honor to get your (and the community’s) reaction. As always, all the best!

Dallas Green's voice is one thing, but the guitars on this track hit me right in the feels. I DARE you to watch this and not feel the emotion in this track.
An outstanding performance, lush guitar tones, and Dallas Green letting go in the bridge! I just wish I was there! Love everything you're doing here Michael. Thank you!

Magdaline Rose - Shark Spray Live

Metal
Rock

Just discovered this artist. She's on tour with Seven Day Slumber and on their day off stopped to do a show at a small biker church. Blew my mind with her vocals. Dropped some clips in the discord too 🤘

The Yawpers - Bartleby the Womanizer

Acoustic
Rock

Never has anyone rocked this hard on acoustic guitars!
This is tight, but sounds wild and has a raw energy that I'm not sure I have ever seen delivered on acoustic before. (Making rock stank face as my head is bobbing to the beat.)

Lady White Rat - Amazing new favorite band, blew me away!

This past Saturday my band and I were part of a local rock/metal event called Carnival Of Chaos, hosted by the awesome folks at Chaos Guitars. And this particular band blew us away with their energy, talent, and musicianship! They are an up and coming band called Lady White Rat, and I highly recommend that you check them out! This is a video I took of them playing their song Rebirth. The video starts with an awesome jam with the bass and drums, while the guitarist swapped guitars and tuned, he then joins in for a hot minute before stopping and then going into their song.
