I'm not sure if this is the right spot on the forum to post this but check out the solo in this kick @ $$ song. Very bluesy and in my opinion well played.
Hope you guys get a kick out of it! Also notice that beautiful strat!! =D

Not a bad solo.
Sounds like the new guitarist Joe Gooch may have listened to a bit of Mark Knopfler and Slash before he played that.

Everyone is probably familiar with the classic Ten Years After performance of "I'm Going Home" at Woodstock so here's another killer version from a 1978 live taping of the German TV show, Rockplast :

Although this new guy is a phenominal guitarist as far as I'm concerned without Alvin Lee it isn't 10 Years After maybe the name should be It's Money We're After.

Very impressive indeed. And as a guy of a 'certain age' I just love these old dinosaur bands coming back for the 3rd or 4th time. Bring 'em on is what I say..

Actually, if you're a fan of classic rock, then all your heroes will now be in their mid to late 60s - thats the inevitability of the calendar I guess..

Great to see a player (I suspect schooled) with an immaculate left hand technique. I always feel an irrational annoyance about the number of 3 fingered guitar players in the world who tie their hands in knots. You have 4 fingers! Use the little one too!

I agree. When I think of that band, Alvin Lee is the first thing that comes to mind. I had been listening to 'Undead' and it's one of the best records that fly under the radar, IMO.

From Wiki :

"Undead is the second album by Ten Years After, recorded live at the small jazz club, Klook's Kleek, in London, May 1968. This album set out to give listeners a real feel to what it was like to hear Ten Years After. Their eponymous first album was bluesy, but less emotional and passionate, and so the band decided to record the album live.

The result was a combination of blues, boogie and jazz playing that merged more traditional rock and roll with 1950's-style jump blues. This album became the introduction that many aspiring musicians used as a learning tool to explore beyond rock and pop boundaries and into more improvised stylings."

Regardless of whether it can be Ten Years After w/o Alvin Lee (a matter of opinion), I've gotta say, this guy Joe Gooch has really got an interesting style. Very bluesy, but at the same time, an almost classical approach to the arpeggios, very clean, looks like he's doing some sweep picking. He's definitely mixed different styles and ended up with something of his own.

Ten Years After's A Space In Time is one of my all time favourie albums. Lee's playing on that album shows that he's not only lightning fast but so uniquely tasty and soulful.As good as Gooch is it was Alvin who wrote the majority of the songs and to have Ten Years After without him is like having The Who or The Stones without Townshend and Richards respectively.

love me some Alvin Lee. I remember when I was younger I looked up to my father's guitar hero's .. Clapton, Hendrix, Vaughan.. all those guys. I watched Woodstock with him one day and say I'm Going Home and asked who the guy with the red guitar was, and my father told me.. the best guitarist most people will never hear of :( .

Alvin Lee is one of those great classic rock guitarists - I always loved the jam-out session ending I'd Love to Change The World... I have to say, I do like the new guitarist covering for him here. He's hitting a ton of notes, but he doesn't lose the melody in the process. I dig it.

I like the heavy spacey stuff but I've always liked their early acoustic blues numbers too. "Don't Want You Woman" from their first album is a great one!

It just doesn't seem like ten Years after without Alvin lee--maybe if they'd kept going without him all these years, and been in the public eye, it would seem different.
