Phillip Sayce that I was talking about on a post several weeks ago is the featured artist this month for Fender. Just click on Artist Icon at the top of page and read article if you want.? Later guys!

If you click on the read more and watch all of the 6 min. music clip you'll get some idea what the kid can do . I hate that at one time he was backing up Milissa E. (can't stand her) but listen to all 6 min. 8)

He no longer plays with her as he has his own 3 piece band and does a lot of Hindrix/Blues stuff. I have 2 of his cd's and love them. I knew he cuold not be a supporting member in someone elses band long. 8)

I'll tell you now for some reason his cd"s cost more than most, but I would suggest "Peace Machine" and then "Silver Wheel of Stars" AS in most cd's I don't like every song but most of his stuff I think you'll like. If you can see if you can listen to the song Morning Star. At the end of the singing he really puts on a show on Hendrix style of playing. I listen just for the end. Later Friend! :wink:

Well.....he certainly has worked on that "Clapton" vibrato, hasn't he!!

I take nothing away from his gifts but that style of playing never impresses me. It's like the Hanon virtuoso exercises one learns when studying piano. You see this alot in a weekend visit to Guitar Center. Lot's of 'em out there like that. Still undiscovered.

What counts is the application in performance. Often, more is said with the bend of one note, than all that water running out of the faucet. :wink:

Thanks Bluestube, I've not seen that but when he is playing with his band in the structure of an original song and singing MAN!!! I was lucky enough to see and hear him for the first time late one night on some HD channel on tv. I was in the other room and the wife calls me and says "you might want to come in here and watch this!" It's always so much better to be able to see as well as hear someone performing. :wink: 8)

I know exactly what you mean Doc. but he is better structured in a band and Clapton can produce more emotion in a few notes than a hundred "fast players". Still I think the kid has the raw talent to get it together one day. Good hearing from you Doc.

It seems that younger players love to appear as virtuoso's. Beat's Per Minute is how they measure their own talent. As they get older they realise that less is often more and they tone down the sweeps and tapping. Phillip is still kinda young at 32. He's trying to be impressive and make his mark. I'm sure he'll get to the point that he understands his playing is about the song and the music, not his speed and skill. He's the real deal. I fully expect we'll still be talking about him 20 years from now. I'm really looking forward to the day he finds emotion outweighs technicality.

I hear ya man, Just makes me think why it did not take people like The Beatles, Dylan, Stones, ect. (could keep naming) no time at all to realize that simple melody,timing and some thought in their songs lyrics was the secret! :wink: I think you're right.(hopefully) WE are in dire need of something !!!!!!!! :)

I remember seeing some video from John Lennon's "Rock n Roll" cover album sessions. John meets the bass player for the first time and the first thing he says to him is "just don't play too many notes". My guess is the virtuosity thing in rock started with the "Clapton is God" era. Guy's like Eric and Page and Beck competeing to be the fastest blues players around.
