Thanks for the clips. Here is a link to a Derek Trucks solo from a recent ABB show (, apologies as I do not know how to post the actual clip). It is amazing how much potential Trucks has at only age 26. He seems to be on everyone's list as a go to player. It only makes you wonder where Duane would have got to if he had not left so early ( age 24). I like both Trucks and Warren Hayes very much and I think in some ways the current version of the ABB can stand toe to toe with the original. I have timed my spring trip home to fish with the ABB's run at the Beacon so I will get to see them live.
Prof: The interesting thing about Morse is that he picks every note! No hammer ons or pull offs.

I saw the Dixie Dregs probably 6 or 7 times, then the Dregs a few. I have seen Steve Morse up close in a small club setting a few times and he is so unbelievably good. One of the best. His technique is flawless. His fingers are so long it is unfair. His technique stems from going to school and studying classical guitar, music. I like guitarists that have that natural born to play guitar.You know the ones that can't read music but just seem to be able to play as soon as they pick the thing up. But I will take a schooled musician over one of those types any day. Just so much more to draw on when you can read and compose in the language and you can hear it in their music. BTW did you get a chance to listen to the JP Big Band "The Word is Out!" I'd send you a copy but you are better off getting the cd as the info inside about all the players on each cut is worth the price. Paul
