    Michael Shenker, nothing special, pedestrian euro-trash tune and nothing much with guitar...pretty ordinary as far as I can tell. Is there something I was supposed to find remarkable about him?

    I don't have one. I couldn't distinguish between a master guitar player and a mediocre one if I had too. But I really like when multiple guitarists sortof play off against eachother with opposing harmonies that still sync well with the piece.

    In my case it changes regularly depending on what I'm listening to. There are favourites who I keep coming back to, George Benson, SRV, Joe Pass, Django Reinhardt, Albert King to name a few but I end up on Youtube explorations that end up in unusual places. Most recently British folk musicians like Bert Jansch, John Martyn and Nic Jones

    On this day in 1970 one of the greatest and most innovative guitarists in history passed away at the age of 27...

    I had a dream where I died, and my mother was there, and I was alive and I died as a baby and they buried me and I visited my grave that shocked me because I was alive and a man and this was the grave of when I died as a baby, and I had a do over, something meant that I was both dead (in the ground, because I died as a baby when I was born and was dead and buried, and alive because I was at the cemetery visiting my own grave listening to how I died as a baby and that was me)... There was a sense of, being special, like... I died but I got to live, so, it wasn't normal.

    ... IDK. That dream was weird, I love guitar though.

    I woke up thinking it was the same cemetery where that drummer from The Who/Keith Moon is in North London.

    It's weird how many great musicians died when they were 27.

    It's like a curse of something. Or perhaps that's just the standard contract when they sell their soul to the devil.

    It's terrible, isn't it? A person is just entering the prime of their life at that age.

    As for Hendrix, he was so innovative I can't even imagine where he would have taken his music. It sucks that he died so young.

    Seattle seems to spawn some great musicians from Jimi Hendrix, Kurt Cobain, bassist Duff McKagan and drummer Dave Grohl.

    The guitar riff of "Spotlight Kid" is the exact copy of Alcatrazz's "Jet to Jet". Yngwie Malmsteen was inspired by Ritchie Blackmore but this is almost like a copyright issue.

    Yngwie Malmsteen, Eddie Van Halen, Jake E Lee, KK Downing.

    One lesser-known is Michael Angelo Batio. He plays a double-neck guitar. It sounds like two dudes are playing when he's using both necks together.

    Tom Scholz recorded Boston's entire first album in his basement by himself, except for the vocals, and that was entirely Brad Delp. Scholz is kind of conceited and annoying, but he is a very talented innovator. You have to give him that.
