Great guitar playing
Discussion
We have a thread for looking at guitars, but not really for talking about playing them.
My track of the day is 'Tell Me' by Derryl Gabel.

I've seen plenty of Derryl's videos, as he's easily one of the best guitarists on Youtube, and I had always been impressed by his wild outside playing and uncanny ability to play Allan Holdsworth stuff. I was somewhat surprised though to see that he had a career going back to the early 90's and had guested on a 1993 album by George Lynch! Then I stumbled onto this tune, which is a right gem. Great fusion, with a class hook and a fantastic Holdsworth-inspired solo. This guy can seriously write.

On the subject of the masterful Danny Gatton, I've seen parts of this Hot licks video before:

I always wondered why Arlen Roth or whoever was behind it hadn't said to Gatton that the cameras was struggling with the reflection on his guitar!

I've always been an Eric Johnson fan and Cliffs Of Dover is just a beautiful piece of music and the tone he has is just fantastic. He always seems to play that same battered tobacco burst Strat in every clip I've ever seen as well. None of this changing guitar for every song that you see from so many bands.
This is my favourite Eric Johnson tune:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TB6HA350kv8
That section at 01:20 is just unreal. What a break. And the outro solo just rips the roof off!
I listen to this all the time:

Very talented player, and a lovely Manne guitar (you don't see many of those). Some of the licks don't strike me as very 'Holdsworth-y', despite the common intervals and symmetrical shapes which Holdsworth favours. Some of them are spot on for an Allan impression though.

By way of apology, I offer this small token of properly awesome (back when awesome meant something) guitar playing from Al and Paco: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hhccIfevjCU

The pace is incredible, it's real 'day at the races' stuff, but the playing is top notch.
