John HilgartI think my affinity with or indifference to a lot of music that is theoretically in my wheelhouse depends on the lead guitarist being compellingly melodic. Jerry Garcia is obv the king, but someone like BOC's Donald Roeser also stands very tall among guitar storytellers. My Phish "meh" is mostly about this element.
Paul Hébert@4CPcomics Knopfler for me.
Mr. Completely@PaulInRainCity @4CPcomics good one. I'm currently listening to the recently released live collection, have you seen that that's out? It's fantastic. Some of it's mixed very guitar forward, too
@mrcompletely @4CPcomics I am listening to the hell out of that.
A new album out soon, too. His songwriting just gets more and more novelistic.
