EBMM sightings on dvd.........

[robelinda2]

I just bought a new dvd today, its an instructional one from Johnny A. Yes yes i know he plays a Gibson, and i wasnt expecting any ball action, but the bass player was using a Bongo, in a cool graphite pearl finish, sparkly greyish look.

Really cool dvd too, great playing and the tunes were nice, would be better if Johnny played a ball of course, his tone was average.

THEN!!!!!!! to top it off, it included a bonus performance by ALBERT LEE!!! GOLD! It was Fun Ranch Boogie, with BP on bass. I already have the dvd it came from, but what a bonus and a fluke, of all the extras to have it was Albert.

Johnny A. average tone? Where does that leave the rest of us? I guess Eric Johnson has an average tone too. IMHO Johnny's tone is excellent, and I've heard him perform live twice. His guitar is completely hollow, and a work of art. I own the hardtail version, and it's my favorite piece. Solid woods throughout, and a thoughtful design. I can cover hollow/semi-hollow jazz, blues, and rock guitar tones.

I like the DVD, its not the typical "lick #1, 2, etc." type lesson, but a discussion of his music and performance techniques. The Albert Lee performance is amazing too. I have the "Highlights" version of his lesson. Enjoy! His new live CD will be out this Spring.

his tone is unique, but not breathtaking like EJ for example. I'm not really into the hollow body tone so i guess i should be quiet about it! His playing though is supreme!

Rob Johnny is fabulous and so is his touch and tone. I have had the pleasure of playing with him a few times and he is reaaly great

I was wondering if Jesse's Bongo is Egyptian Smoke? Nice color. I met him after the gig, but forgot to ask. He also has a Buttercream! A great player and friendly person.

Lately, on the gigs they've been running direct to board if the house has a quality PA. Johnny was using two Marshall MP1 preamps and going DI to FOH. He never uses guitar cabs. He's using the TC Electronic G System with a few overdrive pedals and a wah.

They had just returned from a European tour opening for Satriani. I'd like to see him get a spot on a future G3 tour. For anyone reading, check out is band.

Johhny A plays down the street from my house, he's a local New Englander.

But the last time he played I was in Dallas.
