re: #302 albusteve

he doesn’t learn the repertoire note for note…he jams in a particular key and knows the progressions, or picks them up as he goes along…he’s a fine guitarist and a decent guy (met him at a benfit in DC)…but remember there are thousands of great players out there, every bit as good or even better…just ask Mad Al

Hell yeah. I used to go to a club - an old honky tonk that was around since the 50s - very close to home. On Friday and Saturday nights the house band would play, usually featuring two of the most amazing guitarists in the region. The cover was $2.00.
