Het robin, quick way to make it alphabetical is to jus use Microsoft Word, so just copy and paste the list into word, and you can highlight it and sort it alphabetically, so you dont have to do it on your own.

Posted by: Robin Sep 6 2007, 07:11 PM

Ah of course, thanks!

I dont have Microsoft Word I do have Wordpad though, can you do the same with that program? I cant figure out how atleast >_<

Posted by: Robin Sep 6 2007, 07:50 PM

Posted by: Hemlok Sep 6 2007, 09:12 PM

Here Robin http://www.softplatz.com/Soft/Utilities/File-Disk/Sort-Text-Lists-Alphabetically-Software.html

Just copy+paste your list into that, sort, copy and paste back on here! It is free but you can't save your list as a file, but you can paste into wordpad and save that way, if you need to save it... Should save you some time anyway.

Thanks alot!

Posted by: VinceG Sep 7 2007, 05:25 AM

oh man I forgot Gong. Supposidly, the found there sax player in a cave!

Posted by: Robin Sep 7 2007, 06:33 AM

I wont be able to update any more untill next Sunday. Going on a fishing trip this weekend, at sea.

Edit: Nevermind. Got really sick today Today I tasted the worst thing I have ever tasted in my whole life. Some really crappy cough medicine. Oh god damnit.

Posted by: tonymiro Sep 7 2007, 08:06 AM

As an aside - sorry Robin - Always tend to think Gong can be very variable depending on whose playing and what state they are in. Remember seeing Pierre Moerlen's Gong (with I think Holdsworh on guitar) at Glastonbury years ago - great set. Once opened for them/Here and Now (as Gillie Smyth had recalled them) at a festival. Steffy Sharpstrings (guitar player in here and now) was great but Mark Perry and Gillie were out of it on the evening gig.

Cheers,
Tony

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFdq4b0NjWU

and Johnny Lang (great voice)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DayCrQWJXuI

might wanna check em out

and can someone explain to me why Freddie King aint up there?

Posted by: Robin Oct 5 2007, 07:28 PM

Thanks, I can add those right now. I already knew about John Mayer, but is his music really blues?
I did hear some freakin awesome blues improvisation by John Mayer though.

Posted by: Hemlok Oct 5 2007, 07:41 PM

I think maybe you getting Mayer mixed up with Mayall?

I dont think you added my blues list Robin?

Posted by: Robin Oct 5 2007, 07:44 PM

I've added John Mayall as "John Mayall and the bluesbreakers"

Oh and yes you are right, I must have missed your post somehow, I'll add it right away, sorry!

Posted by: tonymiro Oct 5 2007, 07:50 PM

There is a guitar player (and singer songwriter) called John Mayer - he's been Grammy nominated a few times and does play blues.

Cheers,
Tony

Posted by: Robin Oct 5 2007, 07:51 PM

Btw, does Chuck Berry qualify as blues? I thought he was the first rock'n'roller

Posted by: Hemlok Oct 5 2007, 07:51 PM

Oh see ive gone and mixed John Mayall with John Mayer, i dont know who Mayer is

Thanks Robin

Well i have heard him play the blues, maybe he is blues/rock then? i dont know

Posted by: tonymiro Oct 5 2007, 08:19 PM

I've never heard Mayer - only know of him because my wife 'likes' him ('likes' in the sense that she thinks he's cute .)

Cheers,
Tony

Posted by: Robin Oct 5 2007, 11:04 PM

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=6sPmTgPvx28 Here is John Mayer.

I LOVE the soloing he does in the start, but when he starts the song it start sucking imo.

Edit: never mind, it seems like the song was cut away from this video.

Posted by: Rob_g Oct 6 2007, 04:32 AM

some might know John Mayer from his solo career. (mostly acoustic) But in 2005 he joined a trio and decided to change his direction in music. Hes also got a wicked live album called try that i would recommend

Posted by: Unleash-The-Shred Oct 20 2007, 02:15 AM

You should add Shawn Lane and Guthrie Govan to the fusion list also.

Posted by: Robin Oct 20 2007, 02:37 AM

Done

Posted by: Unleash-The-Shred Oct 20 2007, 02:44 AM

Thanks man.

Posted by: Unleash-The-Shred Oct 22 2007, 06:06 AM

Here is another addition to the fusion list.

Arkadiy Starodoub

Posted by: skennington Jan 7 2008, 04:21 AM

Robin, you got to put Brad Paisley under country. He is an excellent guitarist!

Posted by: Robin Jan 7 2008, 04:22 AM

Ok thanks.

Posted by: Robin Jan 9 2008, 03:06 AM

I have been lazy with this list lately. I will add more youtube links on Thursday.

Everyone feel free to add more bands and artists to the list and/or give me youtube links for some of the bands and artists already on the list, thanks.

Btw I'm also thinking about making a list with folk music from all around the world. The only problem is that I only know about norwegian and irish folk, so I hope you guys know more than me What does everyone think about it?

Posted by: blindwillie Jan 9 2008, 10:33 AM

Sure, go for it.
Why not wikilize the blues, metal and upcoming(?) folk into genres with the material collected here as a base

Posted by: Iluha Jan 19 2008, 01:02 PM

One note: You've put Scott Henderson in the Jazz category, but he's a blues player =p

http://youtube.com/watch?v=stMPRu4GuIA

Posted by: Muris Jan 19 2008, 01:07 PM

Scott plays some Jazz as well so lets say he's Fusion player

Posted by: Robin Jan 19 2008, 02:29 PM

Fixed, thanks.

Posted by: VinceG Jan 31 2008, 03:25 PM

You know what I never realized, you don't have JOHN ZORN here!!!!! Hes an avant-garde/experimental sax player. He also has a band called Naked City but thats more of a movie score kinda music than anything really.

Another guy that is pretty interesting in blues is SKip James, old Delta Bluesman that could play guitar, piano and sing with a real passion.

Posted by: Nighthawk Jul 20 2008, 02:36 PM

Can somebody please recommend me a Pat Metheny album for "newcomers"...?Which one do you like best ???
