The Brothers is one of my favorite movies. Hopefully you're doing good during this time. I also met your brother Geno when he was interested in joining my Lodge. Keep up the good work Bro. 👍

      @@theknowlodge8294totally agree that Hendrix wasn't technically great, although he was far more innovative than other players, Prince included. But if technique is your yardstick, Guthrie Govan, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Yngwie et al totally destroy Prince. They can do things he could only have dreamed of. That is not to disparage him as a songwriter and performer; I would rather listen to a Prince tune than any self indulgent guitar instrumental. It's just that being a Prince fan, and imagining him the best guitar player ever seem to go hand in hand, and it simply isn't true. What we can say was that he was the best guitar player for the music he wrote.

    He was a gift to music, to the entire scene.
    When he passed I had been far off grid and out of touch. Didn't know he was gone until almost two months after. I still feel ashamed of that. So much of his music is a large part of the soundtrack of my lifetime.

      Bill Hunter you have no musical taste. The man was literally one of a kind. Probably the single most talented musician, writer, producer, performer in history. Period! Everyone in the biz agrees. If you don’t like the style of his music that’s fine but you cannot deny his gift

      Brian Beran he is VERY underrated. He is up there with Hendrix, Clapton, SR Vaughn etc. I wish he did more stuff like this.
      The video of him playing in a super band inducting George Harrison into the rock and roll hall of fame, playing “While my guitar gently weeps is a masterful performance and shows his serious chops on the guitar.
