“‘I’m not a collector,’ he adds. ‘[The #guitar you buy] should be the one that’s right for the music you’re playing. So I guess the criteria is, ‘Why might you choose this guitar?’” #RobertFripp #guitarists #MusicSky #music #prog

“I asked for a cash discount. The shop assistant said, ‘I could phone up Eric Clapton and he’d come and buy it’”: Robert Fripp’s life in three guitars
The King Crimson founder has enjoyed the company of all kinds of guitars in his time – from the good, bad to the ugly – but these are the three that have meant the most to him

Decided that I'm going to learn some ridiculously hard guitar pieces. At the moment, my list is:

Cliffs of Dover - Eric Johnson
Never Enough Neck - The Fucking Champs
Bad Kids To The Back - Snarky Puppy

Any others that people can think of? No wanky prog metal.

Reposting this in honor of Eddie Van Halen. He would have been 71 today. I was mystified listening to Eruption in 1978. I thought, that can't be a guitar (or just one). He sounded like no one who came before him, and forever changed how rock guitar was played after.

Rainy Sundays were made for art, music, and writing.

If I were allowed only one #guitar (a cruel fate), it would be this Fender Strat (more details in alt text). Here's a segment of Eddie Van Halen's epochal solo, Eruption. IMO, EVH was the GOAT of rock #guitarists
