Feelin Jammy today, kickin back with Spotify, a brilliant application indeed. Artist of the day, Derek Trucks. Enjoy shreading the guitar then listen to this guy he is extremely talented and plays a mean slide as well. His career started at the age of 11 and he toured with the Allman Brothers Band at age 13! His uncle Butch, is a founder of the Allman Brothers and eventually Derek became a regular memeber. He formed his band the Derek Trucks Band in 96 where he was able to branch out and take his playing level to the next dimension.
I had the pleasure of seeing trucks at a festival in 98, although only 5 I distinctly remember my dad saying "hey son this kids only 18 and hes got the crowd on his fingertips" He now is in a band with his wife and they perform together in the Tedeschi and Trucks Band. Have a favorite guitarist, or two, or three? Lets hear what you got! The beauty of the guitar is that no two people play the same style, yet they strive for similar goals, make great music too be enjoyed by all. Whether it be for dancing, chilling out, or tripping face guitarists are a vital part of this interconnected universe. They may in fact be messengers of an alternate reality they just don't know it, and they may actually be communicating to humans, the past, present and future. Of what could of, sould have, and will ! Think about it :) Enjoy this Sunday!
