Guitar World: Giacomo Turra used their solos note-for-note for his own viral content. Now the guitarists who had their playing “stolen” are speaking out. “Allegations that social media guitarist Giacomo Turra has been stealing songs for viral content gained traction earlier this week – and now guitar players who had their work appropriated have begun speaking out.”

GUITAR PILGRIM
"WHEN YOU'RE GONE"
Mastodon Post

We know most 90's music was crap, but certainly not all of it...
Guitar Pilgrim [Thom Helwig]

The 1990s did produce a lot of junk but it amazes me how much great music still managed to squeeze itself in. I love Pilgrim's degree-of-difficulty C-chord. Personally, I would have had a good reason for taking the easy way out.

ACCORDING TO GUITAR PILGRIM

Can You Play This Riff? Ep. 33 Mick Taylor [The Rolling Stones]

"Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out"-era Mick Taylor with a little Keith Richards thrown in. We also get a better idea of the number of faces Guitar Pilgrim can make. Pilgrim is very popular. He posted this video just two hours ago and he already has 117 thumbs up.

A new David Gilmour single:

A new Deep Purple single:

What do I think? The Purple song is pretty good. It’s the first release with their new guitar player, Simon McBride. I had only ever heard him on an episode of That Pedal Show, but he’s good. Really good. He’s not Ritchie Blackmore. I should not judge him based on the fact that he’s not Ritchie Blackmore. I am a Tommy Bolin fan and when Bolin replaced Blackmore in 1975 most of the Purple fandom shat on him because he isn’t Ritchie Blackmore. I would like to think I would have given him a chance were I paying attention and not four years old so in that spirit I want to give Simon McBride a chance. I gave Steve Morse a chance too, but he’s Steve Freakin’ Morse and he was already an absolute legend when he joined the band back in the 90’s. I saw the Steve Morse Purple live a few times. The guy was shockingly good. This song is okay.

Ian Gillan sounds particularly good here. I’ll wait for the full album release before I decide what I think for reals. I am not sure when it comes out, but it will be called =1, which is a name I probably would have tried to talk them out of if I were their A&R guy, or their producer, or their friend, or their neighbor who they occasionally talk to when we both happen to be outside doing yard work or something.

As for the David Gilmour song… woah. My one fear with his new record is that it sounds like it’s sort of a family band kind of thing. His wife has been his lyricist since the 90’s, but this time around his kids are playing all over the record as well. That sort of thing usually rubs me the wrong way. Other than that one irrational hang up, this song makes me really want this new album. The song is a killer. If it’s any indication of what we’re going to get with the full album then… yeah, bring it on. I want it now. Now!

Rock stars from the 60’s and 70’s who are still getting the job done in the 2020’s. Gilmour is 78 years old. Ian Gillan is 78 years old. Ian Paice is 75. Roger Glover is 78. Don Airey is 75. Simon McBride is 45 so… yeah, he’s younger than me so he doesn’t count for this discussion. Old people rocking. Who would have thought? Keep up the good work, old people. You too, young mister McBride.

I was never an Allman Brothers fan. I went through an At Fillmore East phase the way most guitar players do. I was a huge fan of Duane Allman’s playing on Derek and the Dominoes Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs album and at some point I needed more and that brought me to At Fillmore East. Duane Allman’s playing is other worldly on that record. In between the stratospheric heroics there were the moments featuring the other guy. That other guy is Dickey Betts. When you step back and look at it closely, his playing is just as good as Allman’s. Maybe not equal (because that’s asking too much from a normal human), but close enough.

On top of being a fantastic lead player, he wrote some incredible songs. “In Memory of Elizabeth Reed” is pretty much perfect. I spent a lot of time in my youth sitting in front of my cassette player trying to figure out how to play that song. Just picking up what I could. It’s a twin lead guitar instrumental that to my ear is closer to Fusion than Southern Rock. I’d play along for a while, then stare at the speakers, slack jawed, when Duane’s solos came up, then I’d play along with Dickey’s solos.

Outside of that record though, I never really had much use for The Allman Brothers. Southern Rock as a genre has its moments but generally speaking it wasn’t for me. Respect where respect is due though. Dickey Betts as a song writer, guitarist, and singer is deserving of all of the respect.

He passed away this morning at age 80. Rest in Peace, Dickey Betts. Everyone go give At Fillmore East a spin in his memory.

GUITAR PILGRIM
"GREASE IS THE WORD"

Crazy fast way of giving the idea of two guitars, when playing only one.

grease is the word
Guitar Pilgrim

youtube.com/watch?v=f76acpdSpE

This must be the "Grease" theme from the movie, "Grease." The theme is credited to The Four Seasons.

Guitar Pilgrim is perfectly amazing. For a few more of his videos, search Mastodon on the guitarpilgrim hashtag.

🎸🎸 Any #EricClapton or #JimiHendrix fans in the house? Is it just me or do more people hear the resemblance between the main riff/melodies in Cocaine (Eric Clapton), Sunshine Of Your Love (Cream), and Gloomy Monday (Curtis Knight & The Squires feat. Jimi Hendrix)? #guitar #guitarplayers
