The kid lucked out he was "cuttin' heads" with the student and not the teacher...

This has to filed under the "what the fuck was I thinking?" heading.

This is the most embarassing guitar duel in history!

Jesus Christ John, you're a song writing Saint, but you don't get into a duel with
a fuckin' guitar God, when having the fretboard skill level you have!

Towards the end of the video, shortly after Lennon lay's down his riffs, I bet many people
in that audience were turning towards each other going, "that was weird!"

Well, "great" is in the ear of the listener, but for my money this is one of the greatest - Eric Johnson live Cliffs of Dover. It's a little long at 10 minutes but well worth the listen...

Awesome song and guitarist. If you are an Eric Johnson fan, you'll like the two Larry Carlton songs I posted.

Larry Carlton is an excellent guitarist; I'm a big fan, and I agree that the ones you posted are two of his best.

Alice Cooper Band?

Absolutely. Glen was a strange drive. But between him and Mike they broke new ground in rock to die for.

Glen's hands were amazing. He could do the simplest of rock undertones and then all of a sudden hit a cool jazz riff in the middle of a tune and then drive it.

He really was that good. Another one who left to soon.

And he was really a very nice person. Gentle soul. Hard rocker.

Alice had a great backing band when those guys were with him.....very tight...
