This is a perfect example of a song, in which my first inclination would be to turn it up, and my wife's first, last and only inclination would be to turn it off.

For grandsons 6 & 9 - Sonny is among those to learn from, channel passion and vision for their musical voices. How cool to turn it up while dad's working upstairs? Privilege of being Poppy and not their father.

Nils Lofgren, then Sonny Landredth . . . I'm on the edge of my seat waiting for Bill's next great guitarist pick. . .

If you ever get a chance to see this guy, do it!

I've see him twice, indoor and outdoor, and its a jaw dropping experience.

Perhaps he'll acknowledge the existence of Rory Gallagher one day.

Awesome set!
Trower/Satriani/Landreth 
Thanks for the guitar fest, Bill.


 
Yahoo!! I was lucky enough to catch the same set a couple of months later!
Hard to top these three guitar greats back to back!

Cranked to 10. That's about 2kW of Bryston power plus another 1.5kW or so from the Paradigm Servo 15 subwoofer. Sonny is ripping the paint from my walls!

I had to look him up. Wow.
"According to lore, in an interview withRolling Stone magazine, Jimi Hendrix was asked, “How does it feel to be the greatest guitarist in the world?” He is believed to have answered, “I don’t know, go ask Rory Gallagher.”"

Holy smokes, this man can play!  How the hell do you get that good?



A lifetime of dedication though some seem to get good at a very young age. You've got to want to. I've known many people who "want" to learn to play the guitar, but for the wrong reasons, then give up very quickly when they find out it actually takes some work.
