Because Cui Bono Posted that BT&H Crossroads

[ProfessorGAC]

This weekend i watched the Ralph Macchio/Joe Seneca movie Crossroads. There is some FINE guitar playing going on in that movie.

All the guitar parts are either played by Ry Cooder or Steve Vai. The real bluesy/slide stuff (when Ralph is playing the guitar) is Cooder. The Vai plays his own stuff as Jack Butler, but he plays that cool arpeggio thing in the "head cutting" duel at the end.

Cooder's playing is very laid back and tasty, while Vai is, well, Vai. Harmonically sophisticated, precise and fast as lightning.

Just thought i'd pop that disc in, and i'm glad i did.

If you haven't seen it, and you're a guitar player, you should.

1. That's good stuff. Great insight to ponder. See you at The Crossroads Crossroads crossroads...

I love that tune. Depending on how you feel...like a mood ring...it can change shades on you. I have an old school friend who made compilation cds for me for years, and one year this was on one of them. Grateful to him for turning me on to it bc FM radio just isn't what it used to be.
Thanks for the comment.
