Wotcha Cap.
Any more mental guitarists for me?

I am currently obsessed to a worrying degree with Mick Green from The Pirates. I fucking LOVE what he did with a Tele.

Monty m'boy! How the very devil are you?
In fact I do have one relatively mental guitarist for your listening pleasure - John Gomm. Google him and prepare to cut your fingers off with a rusty hacksaw blade!
Also, check out Newton Faulkner doing Stevie Wonder's 'Superstition' on Youtube.

Have fun!

Dull pointless fact of the day:
I regularly get email updates from Jon Gomm and I have absolutely no idea how I ended up on his mailing list. Because of this apparently unsolicited spam I have stubbornly refused to listen to him.
Oh and I think Faulkner is a cunt too, not that you will care. Did you watch him at Godiva Festival?

Shame about the Gomm thing -
People should realise that spam pisses people off mightily! I'd be interested to see the statistics between those that actually buy/solicit goods/attend gigs etc due to spam vs those that will never use that service/product etc BECAUSE of spam.
Didn't see Faulkner at Godiva -I like his voice and he can actually play - horses for courses I expect.
If you like to see really technically good playing (but it's flatpicking and it's in Nashville) try Steve Kaufmann's world championship piece. Good playing but I wouldn't have it on in the car!!
