Default Serious music talk not about me

I don't think I've posted this video


There are two things that stand out to me and I'd be vastly entertained by robust intellectual intercourse with regard to the other guitar player and the saxophone man.

Derek Obrien is the guy SRV begged to get on the stage as a kid. Derek said no for a long time. Then, he said yes and did his part to change the course of blues music by introducing Stevie to the stage. Yet he is unknown.

Check out his solo around 2:42 - he his a minimalist player. you can hear where Stevie picked up some of the licks and the tone.

What do you think of this playing - I know you guys are into shredders so I'm curious if you see the beauty of Derek's playing.

at 2:11 saxophonist Joe Morales absolutely eats this tune for lunch, barfs it back up, eats it again and eats it for dinner. I've played with Joe a few times. He is an animal with the horn. Standing in front of him is like getting punched in the face with sweet sweet horny horn honking and spirited musical congress.

I don't actually play much at all in the tune.
