And lo, it has come to pass! Time for the annual Licks Of The Legends plan for the year-
January - Mark Knopfler (Alchemy) - well overdue, and Alchemy has some insane playing
February - Tony Iommi - I know shamefully little Sabbath, time to right that wrong!
March - Joe Pass - After having dipped my toe in Jazz with Charlie Christian, I'm planning on getting an entire foot in this year...
April - Peter Green, " A Hard Road" - After John Mayall's Beano album with Clapton, there came another British blues guitar hero, and before leaving to create Fleetwood Mac, he recorded this beast of a blues album..
May - Jerry Donahue - Ever seen "Twang Bang Kerrang"? He's the guy who does "The Beak & The Claw". Nuff said.
June - SRV, "Family Style" - carrying on the SRV odyssey
July - Hendrix, "Band Of Gypsys" - after Electric Ladyland there came a new era....
August - Django Reinhardt - again, shamefully overdue. I shall not be removing any fingers in the interests of authenticity, however
September - Julian Lage - Jazz again, but modern - thanks to my student Matt for putting me on to this chap.
October - Neil Schon - it's time for a Journey!
November - Dave Gilmour "Wish You Were Here" - revisiting an old fave, and this time focusing on one classic album at a time
December - Nicolo Pagannini - like Bach, not a guitarist, but I have learnt so much from JSB that trying my hand at the works of this virtuoso violinist is something to look forward too...
Demo videos will be on YouTube, accompanying articles on the Patreon/ Ko Fi/ Subscribestar pages - see you in 2027!
