here one of the best guitarists ever.. and you've probably never heard of him
he used to be in brainbox and focus now he still plays with jazz bands now and then a few links: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpV5InLw52U https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p0bVoo1TxKM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cGsTb__854w http://www.op.tv/index.php?p=Het+uur+van+d...tret+met+gitaar ( a dutch documentary) especially the stuff in the documentary totally convinced me, i'm a believer now he's an exeptional guitar player, once named the greatest guitar player ever by some british magazine in the 70s if you get into him you'll see he's different from anything else i'm trying to go to one of his shows as soon as possible -------------------- gear
guitar: ibanez SA 260 FM amp: hughes & ketler blue edition 60 wts (in garage) amp you hear: crappy yahama borrowed from friend effects: dunlop jimi hendrix wahwah |

And I'm from Holland too!!
Yes - Jan Akkerman rocks, however sometimes I find his playing a bit weird, especially with focus. But I have to see more videos of him. My dad also wants to check him out in a concert (with me). and I cant wait This post has been edited by ezravdb: Apr 20 2007, 10:39 PM -------------------- The coolest new community: Lockerz Wanna join Lockerz?

Akkerman was ahead of his time. Hocus Pocus showcased his monster chops and cool style. Great player!
