Metheny stated that exact FG thing in an interview - and it was about his RH....

But it's really beside the point. A Gibson clone and not a Carvin.

I had Frank as a teacher at GIT back in 1984. Scott Henderson was around too. Frank's a great guy and a supreme talent, but for one reason or another, I've never really been able to get too deep into his playing. Scott's stuff grabs my ear more. But that's all subjective, and I'm not much of a fusion aficionado anyway.

I've got a Carvin bass that seems pretty good to me, but I'm not a bass player. I just use it to mess around with.

I just saw Return to Forever last night (with Zappa Plays Zappa opening!) -- when Frank soloed, he sounded fine to me. The mix was clear, and his guitar was clear (albeit with overdrive, but clear nonetheless). When playing the tunes, he often doubled lines with Jean-Luc Ponty, so he was harder to hear then, but otherwise he sounded fine and it was a great show.

Although Dweezil plays mostly in his father's style, he has his own "vibe," and played some really nice lines. Fun show overall.

great. You read magazines and watch youtube. I spoke to him personally. Reminds me of the other silly comment you made that Fareed Haque absolutely doesn't pick from the elbow based on a few youtube videos you watched whereas I saw 10 feet in front of it. But you were obviously "right" because of your youtube experience.

And as far as your other comment (that you deleted) about Frank just makes "guitar music"...I say thank god for guitar music.

Jimi, Stevie, Wes, Hall...Where would be be without guitar music?

Plus, I remember when you were going through your Benson is god period and making statements about that music being superior to coltranes 'sheets of sound'! WTF????
