Sorry, I couldn’t resist. That is the great Zakir Hussein on tabla, of course.
I love John’s choice of guitars. Great sound, and what a solo! Apparently his arthritis is to the point he can’t comfortably play the Shakti acoustic guitar.
“Paul Reed Smith chooses wood like Stradivari, who used to walk around the Dolomites in Italy tapping on trees, saying, ‘I’ll take that one, not that one.’ He’s a maniac”: John McLaughlin on reuniting with Shakti, his bad year, and his signature PRS | GuitarPlayer
I saw John many years ago, when he was playing mainly nylon-string, with Katie LaBeque on keyboards. That was a long time ago. Reminds me of a time and a love affair that have passed by—well my love affair and his as well.
