I like the lead guitar player and the rhythm guitar player mix it up together. With their. Solos nobody here is trying to be in the limelight. I'd like to hear John Notto and Harry Reinhart jam out together. John is very impressive on his acoustic and his electric guitar. Martin-D 28 vs Gibson Les Paul standard. I hope to hear more and him when Haley goes out touring.

The two guitarists mixing it up really struck me too, but my ear was really drawn to Josh Gooch throughout and as they weren't labled I was hoping he would be the one (i've got lousy eyesight I guess or was it just hope)

I guess we all have our own taste but I'd almost go to hear him perform alone and a concert a guy like Josh jamming in long live cuts of her songs fits my idea of a concert (I always listened to San Fransicso style "Jam Bands'" ... I kinda expect things to go like the Alaman brothers shows, which I saw 6 or 7 of back when i used to go to concerts.

Anyway, I searched for Josh gooch and came up with this performance (one electric and one accoustic folloiwng) ! wow ! ill try to figure out how to embed it but here is a link:




Would it be too much to have even a slight whiff of this sort of thing sneaking in ? given the groove of the album maybe it doesn't fit.. album has a more "urban" sort of blues I guess.

In the previous YouTube performance,Lets Party I just got done playing it in the it's in the key of A major. Had to slow it down a bit to try to keep up, not as fast as I used to be. Josh is an exceptionally well disciplined and knowledgeable guitarist. He knows all his scales and knows how to apply them without being sloppy or trying to rush it. I member in an interview with Stevie Ray Vaughn he said quote, although I cannot read music I play what I feel and that comes from the heart. The best way to play if you're not schooled in a musical instrument is to play what's really coming out of you both good and bad. Now the blues is a whole other story. For another time.

I'm jealous of you. I played the sax in high school 30 years ago but I have terrible dexterity in my hands ... i've got a steady enough hand with drill or something but when its about an intricate pattern my mind gets ahead of my fingers or my fingers don't fire when my mind tells them too.

Just a bit more thoughts I that guitar preformance

the parts that catch my attention in particular are things like
1:15 to 1:32 .. The ways he chooses the rhythm and turns and starts and finishes the color of hisnotes in that section really remind me of some of Haley's particular habits, and I hear that sort of influence even in a pop song like bennie and the jets....the very start of her exit performance was a kind of similar to me in terms of pace and turns.

Whoever she plays with I'd think would need to at least get her habits of patina and flavor the empasis of the filler chords and rhythms to compliment her particular "song".

I love that Stevie Ray line... but it reminds me of another : I think I remember some statement about bebop or something and how it enabled some jazz musiscians to say what they had to say...in ways they were limmited from before..

and Coltrane really had something to say but most others didn't have all that much worthwile to say.

My hands are really bad also I abused them doing construction all my life, so it's hard for me to grip the neck and sometimes when I play my fingers start to go numb, a real fucki-- bummer. But if I play slow than I'm okay. I have a Les Paul studio with an exceptionaly thin neck Very smooth with perfect intonation. So I don't have to cram down on the strings. I try to pick it up once a day and play it at least to keep the callouses on my fingertips from smoothing out.LOL

Ha! I'm liking Keith Phelps more all the time. From his sensitivity to Haley's reaction when she first heard "Free" on the radio, to this, I think this kid's a great addition to Haley's band! (And that's not delving into his musical contributions!)

The funny thing is when he plays with Haley I feel like he conscientiously tries not to stare.

Nothing against Keith, but I still miss Neara. She's such a sweetheart, gave Haley a much needed female companion and friend on the road (in fact, Haley glowed speaking of her in interviews), and she could provide the much needed backup vocals. To put it frank, she got screwed by management because she didn't have an edgy enough look. Total bullshit.

There is a reason why he does stare at Haley.NERA also stared at Haley but for a different reason. When you're doing keyboards for a vocalist sometimes the vocalist will do a changeup or slowdown or speed up or maybe stop if the keyboard is not ready for that it could sound pretty bad. I think it was the Hard Rock Cafe, when John and NERA started playing for Haley in the beginning. You can see her at times looking at Haley waiting for that changeup. If that makes any sense.

You're probably right -- hence, the painting depicts his secret feelings. Still, besides being an astonishingly good, young musician, he's adorable.
