Shaun Verreault – Wide Mouth Mason..

February 26th, 2010

One of the best parts of what I do is that I get see alot of music. Most is good, actually really good, but every once in a while I run across a guitar player that I am just completely fucking blown away by.

It was Shaun last night, playing a Liquid Metal Tele too, of course But man on man that boy made our guitar sing. He got more  sounds, effects, harmonics,  things,  out  that guitar that I have ever heard. It was stunning.

He put on a guitar show, pure and unadulterated guitar show, a la Bonamassa.  Great licks and breaks and jams and straight ahead bluesy rock that had the joint jumpin’. And the musicality was there too, you know, the thriving beat that picks you up and makes you dance…The place went nuts everyone was dancing in place and over the head clapping cheers when every  song was done.   I absolutely loved it.

If you get a chance to take these guys in.. do. Exceptional.

Tonight was great.

All the minds, craftsmanship, knowledge and energy that make our guitars happen, come together and sit over a damn good steak dinner and talk about….guitars, making guitars, playing guitars and whose playing guitars.

Who was each’s favorite guitar player came up….

Older Guys : Dave Gilmour, Jeck Beck
