I thoroughly enjoyed all of these selections for International Guitar Month. Y'all have come through again with a great collection of songs that feature the guitar. And, this was almost entirely a set of first-time listens.

So, sit back, relax, or play along. I hope you enjoy!

Trying to follow Holdsworth is like trying to learn Japanese from a dictionary.

Thanks for Black Napkins Doug , I'm the one who suggested it (first time being mentioned in a video , cool!). Frank has got great modal/rhytmic sensibility rooted in blues playing which then translates to this very eloquent (and relentless) way of playing. I honestly listen to his guitar stuff much more than his actual compositions/songs. Great video , was very looking forward to this one as a guitar player myself :) P.S. The effect he was using to achieve that "bubble" sound is an Auto-wah

In the earlier live versions, Bright Rock and "Son and Daughter" are merged for one guitar extravaganza. Quote Heavey. My favourite live version is from their 1979 double live album "Live Killers", 12 minutes I think. I've never found the equivalent on video though.

Focus made it! Yay!

Really nice collection of songs. I agree, Cliffs of Dover groove is too simple to me also. But I'm saddened Plant's vocals ruin your Achilles Last Stand listening experience. Achilles Last Stand is my favourite LZ track and I think you can have as many guitar tracks as you want, but Plant's vocal delivery at the second half of the song doubles the epicness. Very soulful singing, even if it's technically unclean.

Great stuff all around! Thanks, Doug. A few thoughts: Probably 95% of Frank Zappa's solos are played over a simple two-note "vamp," as he called it. I love his philosophy of soloing. He never planned a solo ahead of time or played the same solo twice. He said "You have a piece of time, and you get to decorate it any way you like." This was also a key to his ability to take solos from one performance and lay them over other pieces of music. Either one likes Robert Plant or they don't. You seem to have a long-standing distaste for him, and I suspect that it's taken root firmly enough by now that nothing anyone can say can make you reconsider. Led Zeppelin appeared when I was in high school. Needless to say, pretty much everyone was nuts about them. It was precisely for that reason--their unbridled popularity--that I took a practiced dislike for them. I worked hard at it, and kept it up for a long time, even though there were several songs of theirs that I did actually like. I have to say that I truly do like Zeppelin, and I acknowledge that they deserve a spot in history for all the things they did. They genuinely were a progressive band, in the truest sense of the word. Finally, I was sad that "Fracture" didn't even make the poll list. There are few pieces of music more guitar-centric. But perhaps that's for the best. You're going to want to spend some time on that one.

Loved your reaction to Holdsworth, swimming in the ocean, indeed! Having seen Al a couple dozen times live, and watching these guys play this stuff without charts is staggering. He sure had your attention, I hope you revisit his work.

Jeff Norman

Dumb question: does anyone know for how long/why Yes does "The Fish" tuned down half a step? (Obviously so: your harmonics on the geetar are not going to be in E-flat otherwise!)

DJ Marquis Marc Rambeau du Tacoma

Okay, you guys... I've been trying to get Dr. Doug into Led Zeppelin and y'all are presenting him with STRANGE choices: Achilles's Last Stand and the album "Houses of the Holy". This is not the way to introduce someone to Led Zeppelin. Everyone, of course, is going to have their favorite Zep album, but they are certainly not all of the same quality. The first album (1968) and Physical Graffiti (1975) are the albums to start with. You'll get their entire flavor with these two albums, and still have a lot of tasty morsels scattered among the others. If you want to go by song, try: You Shook Me; Dazed and Confused; How Many More Times; Whole Lotta Love; Heartbreaker; Ramble On; Immigrant Song; Since I've Been Loving You; Black Dog; Stairway To Heaven; Going To California; When The Levee Breaks; Kashmir; In The Light; and Ten Years Gone.

John Reed

Was extremely disappointed that Star Spangled Banner didn't make the cut. It's my favorite song. Would make a great episode for the 4th of Juy, though.

Hello... new member here... enjoying very much !

Ken

Please... please... PLEASE consider posting/listening to Eric Johnson's Album "Venus Isle". Beginning to End it is his masterpiece in my opinion. It is his "Electric Ladyland",,, his "Sgt Pepper" !

Cheri

Royal Orleans, and Nobody's fault but mine , two songs on that album that I like really well
