Larry Carlton and Mimi Fox take the intermediate and early-advanced guitarist to another level.

B.B. King and Gary Moore

Whew!  What can I say?  I don’t want want to take away the thrill.

Pun intended.

The comments at YouTube are really funny.  Man, Gary Moore didn’t intend to be loud.  If you’re experienced enough, you’ll know what I mean.  It’s the house tech that’s been sleeping on the job.

Well, this is the complete opposite of a duel.  It’s really a thrill watching how Mr. Moore kinda mimics what B.B. King does and vice versa.  Such respect between these two great bluesmen.

Larry Carlton and Robben Ford!

Wow! West Coast (?) jazz-blues guitar at its best.

Throw in Sco and Stern from the East and you got mayhem.

Anyway, I was floored by this live team-up. They took me to school.

Because the link showing my search results won’t fit, just enter these:

Anyway, here’s a sample of what I mean.

Greg Howe Playing "Sunny"

After hearing "The Pepper Shake" and learning that Greg Howe idolized Larry Carlton, I was completely blown away. I can say that  his gravitation toward jazz sets him apart from the other shredders in that his playing shows the most influence from that genre.

I remember the album "Tilt" where he played and Richie Kotzen played like Allan Holdsworth.

Even if I really like everything shred (including those who cover the masters really well in YouTube), I’d like to admit that Greg Howe is my favorite shredder.

Here’s Greg jamming to the tune "Sunny." Too bad the rhythm guitar sounds too loud over here.
