The Danish Big Band under the direction of Miho Hazama has John Scofield as a guest artist and I can't stop listening to this ... Pure joy.

Biography
I've played guitar since my senior year in high school with a primary focus on folk music (Americana they call it now.) I am completely self-taught, save Homespun tapes (Russ Barenberg) and play by ear. I only became interested in theory in the past few years- wish I hadn't waited. I prefer the role of sideman in bands, playing acoustic guitar and mandolin. I've been in the same Grateful Dead cover band for 30 years playing exclusively mandolin. I'm now retired from a career in computer science and wish to focus on guitar- an instrument I love but that has taken a back seat to mandolin for many years. I compose original music which I find as satisfying as playing. I consider myself an intermediate level player.

A nice GD tribute, using one of Jerry's guitars and Phil's bass. Not sure how they acquired them for this, but it is cool.

I love good story telling with guitar accompaniment and few tell a story as well as AnaΓ―s Mitchell. This is based upon a 16th Century folk tale. Mitchell she leaves out the back story of the Queen of the Fairies' enslavement of Tam Lin and that makes the lyrics more contemporary than would otherwise be. The guitar arrangement supports the song perfectly- finger style and plectrum mixed for counterpoint. A happy ending to a song sung in a minor key is a bit unusual and welcome. Enjoy.

I first heard Mark O'Connor play just over forty years ago when he was touring with the David Grisman Quintet promoting their new album, Quintet 80. I was at first disappointed that Tony Rice was no longer in the band but Mark blew me away with both his guitar and fiddle playing. Hard to believe that guitar is not his primary instrument. Right (picking) hand is just amazing. I'm not a fan of the production work on this but the performance is still pretty amazing. Enjoy.

Bela Fleck is releasing a new bluegrass themed album with a super band he put together. On guitar is Bryan Sutton and his rhythm work is just as noteworthy as his soring lead. Great good chops by all as they navigate a tune with some crazy time signature changes. Enjoy.

No review necessary. Just sad at her passing.

I first heard this tune back in my college days and fell in love with it. This is a superb performance of it by Joscho Stephan and Peter Autschbach.

Good Harvest is a Scandinavian duo with very tight vocal harmonies reminiscent of Indigo Girls. This arrangement is closer to Mitchell's original piano version than the CSN&Y version but seems inspired by both.

Just a beautiful instrumental played on a Weissenborn guitar with competence.

Ran across this today- I had not heard of Clive Carroll but the title, Mississippi Blues, caught my attention. Glad I gave it a poke. Carroll is a Brit, a professional composer, and a master of many styles. His take on delta blues is sublime. A quick search found that he hangs with the likes of Tommy Emanuel. I'll be listening to more of his work in the near future, that's for sure.

An acoustic power trio (guitar, bass, snare drum) fronting Rachael Price; stunning lead and backup vocals.

David Wilcox is a songwriter's songwriter, packing a lot of emotion and imagery into each line. I first saw him perform at the Telluride Bluegrass Festival thirty years ago (cough) and have been a fan ever since. He is a master of both alternate tunings and third-person storytelling, as this tragedy in three versus can attest.

Sierra Hull test drives a PRS parlor sized guitar playing her arrangement of Wildwood Flower modulating keys from C to D and then to E. It is a great study in modulation, for flatpickers, especially. This is a bit of an advertisement so I set the time stamp where the music begins. 0:50

Here a big band of mostly teenagers with adult supervision playing the Hot Club of Paris staple, Minor Swing; guitar breaks are by student (Carla Motis) and teacher (Josep Traver) of Barcelona, Spain. Michael, if you choose to react to this, the guitar solos are back to back from 1:00 to 2:20. Your take on the chord voicings used for rhythm and use of arpeggios, chromatic lines, octave runs, etc. during solos would be of interest to me, personally. Thanks.
