Steve Morse pays tribute to Jeff beck
@crustycoot  The only element JB brought that Morse misses is the occasional outburst of blues aggression.  Maybe it’s the compression or lower volume, but when Beck wants to let the anger out, you know it, and in Morse’s hands it seems muted.  ... 
What exactly is PRaT???
@richardbrand Of course, the actual music does not really slow down, nor change in pitch, nor timing (unless stylus drag actually slows a turntable down!).. But our perception of when the beat starts is affected by the arrival pattern in time ...

@viber6  Thanks for your suggestions. I grew up hearing Classical and Broadway. My parents were big Classical music fans, as are my brother and sister.

Glad you all enjoyed the video. I came across it after watching Rick Beato's interview with Steve. If you want to watch the interview, here's the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Jxp9k72M1c

@tablejockey  A Jeff Beck cover is a tall order.  Morse is in the small company of players who can pull it off. I agree... @mitchagain  Thanks for the recommendation. I'll check it out.           
What exactly is PRaT???
@mkorsunsky Ever heard of irony or phrasemes (fixed expressions)?​ ​​​ Yes. But when utilized without providing a context, they don’t communicate much. While I appreciate the additional information, it’s still not clear to me how those two c...

@mkorsunsky Why "partners in crime" ? What is "criminal" about PRaT and how can any definition of music exclude harmony?

@onhwy61 I suspect I’m not the only one who unconsciously assumes my heroes will never grow old. Watched Otis Gibb’s interview with Ray Benson last week and I wouldn’t have recognized him, had I not known who he was before tuning in.

Sadly, Morse is afflicted with serious arthritis. Notice how he plays much more from the elbow, now. Rick Beato did an interview with him in which he goes into, among other things, his efforts to find workarounds. I saw him just once with the Dre...

@simonmoon  Could you possibly recommended anything else in the same vein as "Perpetual Mutations"? ? ?
