Kid's n...Hello all...no, please remain seated,<br /><br />Kid's name is Josh Turner. A wonderful modern fingerstyle guitarist. As an aside to BBJ...if you're interested, the kid has a lesson on playing that song on his You-Tube channel.<br /><br />Within that genre (which I really like), the business model for breaking in often seems to be: YouTube, sales of guitar tabs and concert tours.<br /><br />The song Eleanor Rigby lends itself to some amazing versions within modern fingerstyle. If interested, and especially if you've ever played acoustic guitar, check out this version by a guy named Adam Rafferty (an aside to our host: pretty sure I read this dude lives in Jackson Heights).<br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTu2uWhl21E<br /><br />Lastly the Song ER has, essentially, two chords - C and E minor. Two frickin chords that are among the very first you ever learn when you pick up a guitar, and Paul McCartney wrote a melody and phrasing on top of them that opens itself to such amazingly diverse interpretations. This makes me feel good.<br /><br />Best Regards,<br />RichDAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357001616333664522.post-27337026014736510312017-06-22T18:16:40.887-07:002017-06-22T18:16:40.887-07:00Man, there were a couple of chords that are imposs...Man, there were a couple of chords that are impossible.

A stupid attitude? Yes, but one that works for me nowadays when I assemble a 3 hour radio show each week and I need to keep my sanity and limit my musical choices to what I can sanely manage.<br /><br />Kenny Rankin's music is snooze-ville and I envisioned the kid's musical career following a similar flight path to Rankin's. There are a lot of very talented musicians making very boring music out there and having long successful careers. Not good musical careers but long lucrative ones.<br /><br />All this from one 30 second exposure to the kid's performance. Pretty sick, but if I thought I'd be around in another 20 years (and I hope to be) I'd bet somebody $20 that I'm correct. And I might win the bet.<br /><br />I use to resent record executives for having the same arrogant attitude the few times I spoke with them but know I understand it why they become that way.<br /><br />Be well and take good care of your ears!!!<br /><br />Captain AlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357001616333664522.post-11355201174605728302017-06-21T21:43:35.415-07:002017-06-21T21:43:35.415-07:00This kid is serious.
