me i have a sorta love/hate relationship with gypsy jazz. love playing it but it does kick me in the ass.

i love listening to it... to a point. and then it becomes a little too much testosterone w a lot of these gtrsts sounding like they're trying to anihilate one another w their speed, volume, and endless arpeggios.

these guys here are killer players and my, my...that's some nice guitar eye candy.

I prefer Lee Ritenour "World of Brazil" & "Festival" albums.. along with Earl Klugh, Larry Carlton, Eric Gale, Larry Coryell, among many others.. so no, I prefer smooth jazz..

Thanks for posting that PG.
It was wonderful.[/b]

Definitely masters, those guys...

yeah, great players for sure. and there's a very interesting dynamic between them too. i don't think they're the best of buds, but maybe i'm reading too much into it.

funny how the "gunslinger" attitude is so much more prevalent among gtrsts as compared to when you get two horn guys, or two keyboardists, or.... together

Yes you are right.. I have met may guitarists who were preoccupied with the "rock God" image. All part of the show i suppose . Me... I just feel extremely privileged to be standing alive in front of any audience, when that happens. In this video I could see how impeccably practiced those two were... When they performed, they were fairly relaxed and they just gracefully plowed through, wasting no time, very sure of where they were taking it... To me that constitutes a true gunslinger of guitarmanship
