"None of this really applies to solo guitarists. If the guitarist is good enough, the music speaks for itself, if not, then all the showmanship in the world won't compensate" --Murray MacLeod Not true! I am more in agreement with John Hardly. A BIG part of the "showmanship" is giving the music "feeling", not just playing the right notes! Saw a double-bill with two technically excellent players, Chris Proctor and Harvey Reid. Proctor was boring and dry...almost "academic", while Reid was warm and exciting. Both played good notes....one gave the notes depth and feeling.
