Johnny Winter better than ever

I think I am the only one with enough energy left to tell the tale! Perhaps fearing the structural integrity of the house, he saved this barn-burner tune for last!

So what is the "best" guitar player anyway ? If you like the music then you probably think the guitarist is the best! Personally, while I like the long or wild solos as much as the next guy, that isn't the be all or end all to great guitar playing. Style, tone, and subtlety means a lot, as well as can the player PLAY rhythm too ? Van Halen has been quoted as saying he is proud of the fact, and others agree that he is a great rhythm guitar player, and that among serious guitar players - soloing is considered extra or showing off. The meat and potatoes of a good guitar song are the rhythm guitar parts and being a GOOD rhythm guitar player is essential and part of being a good guitarist.

winter at the fillmore east with his brother on board. best show i ever saw there. when he was a blues player he was absolutely hypnotic to watch. i thought he was less adapted to rock. i skipped seeing him last year because i was afraid i would be disappointed. i know he has had health problems. well next time i'll be there.
