Two guitarists, two different styles, both brilliant....
I remember going to a club in Manchester with the rest of the band, in the mid 60's and watched a really tight outfit called the "In sect" , from down south. I was totally mesmerised by the lead guitarist on the right ( or his left ) playing a Gibson Semi acoustic,(tobacco), totally absorbed in the music. I thought "he's good" and he still is ...it was Steve Howe...

What makes Alvin Lee even more impressive is the fact that his solos were pretty much done with 3 fingers on the neck. His pinky barely got involved. Those quick little slides up and down covered a lot of ground. RIP Alvin. One of the greatest.

I am watching Alvin Lee play and I have gotten the chills just listening to him play with so much soul I still think that I'm going home is still one of the best live Rock song's of all time. If you have not listened to it in a while it will blow you away. I haven't heard anything from him in a long time and I forgotten how much of a awesome guitarist he is. What a great show this must have been. Steve Howe and Alvin Lee on the same bill. Steve Howe is my favorite guitarist in the world and I felt that way since I first heard him play. My favorite Yes album with Steve is Relayer. The most original and creative guitarist to have ever picked up a guitar. And he certainly has been around creating music the whole time. My second favorite guitarist is Mick Talyor from the Rolling Stones. I still cannot get over the fact that he left the band in the most creative period time the band has ever had. Greetings from Atlantic City New Jersey USA

@docwill184 7 жыл бұрын

James Farrell I had understood that Mick was kinda 'vibed' out of the Stones by Keef. Wanted Ronnie Woods instead, something like that. I always thought Mick Taylor sounded and played better (I was at Altamont, audience-right light-tower) but Ronnie 'looks' like a Rolling Stone should look, like Keith and Mick's brother...

@jamesfarrell8339 7 жыл бұрын

I have recently read that Mick Talyor was using heroin with Keith and wanted to totally distance himself from the whole situation. He also wasn't given credit on some of the songs that he wrote and was getting frustrated with that situation. Greetings from Atlantic City New Jersey USA

TYA at the first Bath Blues Festival summer 1969. Was back stage waiting for a ride back to London with Clouds but they didn't show up. Watched Jimmy Page compose Led Zep II on an old Danelectro. Final act was TYA about midnight they finished with Goin Home through a massive PA. Lights and incredible sounds echoing off the hills surrounding Bath. A night to remember. The 2 Steves, Howe and Hackett, the best and McLoughlin the fastest I've ever seen and really pissed because I missed his farewell tour when in Smashville Thanksgiving week. John back to his Mahavishnu days!

Alvin always use to say that his fans though he played super fast but he humblely say that he thought John Mc'laughlin was faster. Different styles. I don't think John was much faster. Alvin liked jazz and, would play some and a bit of everything. He no doubt is one of the great all-time guitar heros of rock n' roll and, one of my big heros on the guitar. I'll never forget at woodstock on 'GOING HOME'. He stold the show and, man, there were alot of great performers there. When they asked Jimi Hendrix who he listened to, he said 'ALVIN LEE'. God rest his soul, I got a friend who name his first son after Alvin Lee.

Alvin was fine at Woodstock... but he sounds the exact same or worse than he did there. He's like that other dude... Wango Z Tango Ted Nugent, 40 years in the key of A. You DARE try to compare Alvin to John McLaughlin? ROFL! They're not remotely close to in the same league. John PLAYS the guitar (amongst many other instruments... a TRUE musician... he also has perfect pitch). Alvin just goes for speed and mucks it all up. I loved what he did at Woodstock. I saw the whole thing, not just the movie. :P Yes I'm an OLD man now. I was there for the final show as well... Jimi Hendrix. Ayway, for as good as Alvin WAS, he lost it later on... and trying to compare what he did to some of this world's true greats... is just awful and pathetic. It's like trying to compare Susan Boyle with some of the world's best Opera singers. Or Mahler to Bach. LOL
