Irish-uwufication is so fucking weird anyway but like people act like Hozier - who writes primarily blues songs about politics, books and music he finds interesting, and having sex with hot women he picks up in bars - is just a nature man is so weird. Like you have Americans saying he is a bog man, he only writes acoustic songs about chaste love and nature. He lives in the woods and doesn’t interact with society at all. He is made of trees and fairies because that’s what Ireland is.

great list, much respect / agreement to keeping Jimi in the throne seat, great food for thought and listening here, I don't recognize all the names here so I'll be saving this...

May I also offer up as honorable mentions

Sol Hoopi (legendary Hawaiian guitarist from the early 20th century contemporaries with Django with perhaps a similar style yet with a Hawaiian twist, and Sol Hoopi pioneered the style of music that Spongebob Squarepants used in its theme song and many of its cut scenes)

Another honorable mention candidate ... Robert Johnson

Another honorable mention from the 1940s blues scene of Oakland California, Lowell Fulson, delivering some of the most-covered blues songs of all time, such as...

Another honorable mention for now, and I had to look up these guys' names but I've heard their music for years and it's mind blowing, Danny Fardy Johnston and Gilberto Reátegui holding down the 6-string representing the insane psychedelic cumbia scene from the 1960s Peru, a scene that had a ton of guitarists who could be on this list so this one is more of a rabbit hole...

I have to throw Eric Clapton in this mix, his cover of Robert Johnson's "Crossroads" is always blowing my mind, have to admit I've heard this song maybe hundreds of times but never seen the video of that concert performance in 1968 (key of E minor and plays A minor at times):

I'm not sure who's guitar is who's but the guitar from the Dur Dur Band belongs on superlative... plz lmk if you find anyone better on funk/disco style guitar than Abukar Dahir Qasim (guitar), Abdillahi Ujeeri (Bass Guitar) and Yusuf Abdi Haji Aleevi (guitar)

I'm also....Khruangbin.... haha Mark Speer is still alive and making guitar music in his prime so it's tough to put him on an immortal list but I think Mark has earned it and this song is one of those that proves his place (key of A minor)...

Another Dutch band I have to put on here has a guitarist, Jac van Exter, who is super super young, but I know he's on this list and it will be amazing to watch where his career goes, but this cut in C minor kills me:

Honorable mention to Vieux Farka Touré, I need to get more into his discography:

Also I must offer up the keystone track of the best selling album of all time that's just a concert recording, and the guitar in this song still gives me chills even after I've learned how to play it myself...wonderous vibes in B minor here:

Thus concludes my 10 ten honorable mentions, please feel free to add here and TIL tumblr limits a post to 10 videos so either I just took everyone's 10 or each reblog will get 10 new ones lol

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE BEST GUITARIST ON THE PLANET I LOVE YOU RAY TORO 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🥳🥳🥳🥳🎈🎈🎈🎈🎁🎁🎁

[flowercrowngods]

everyone assuming eddie's physical shape is the worst because he never works out and skips gym class all the time, nopes out of basketball games to sit on the sidelines with robin to talk shit, and flames jocks and sports every chance he gets etc etc. but the thing is, eddie is in amazing shape. he goes to join steve on a run one day and has no trouble keeping up until he inevitably gets bored and just stops, but still steve is surprised to see how in shape eddie is.

that is, until he goes to see corroded coffin playing at the hideout and he sees eddie jumping and running and absolutely performing on that stage for almost two hours. that's two hours of singing background vocals, jumping in time, hyping up the audience, doing his little stagey posey jumps right on time for the drops, etc.

eddie playing with corroded coffin is essentially him doing a whole 90 minute cardio workout and steve never questions his physical fitness again

i haven’t been the same since this man picked up that electric guitar…

I want to see a sbg band au

[gameyface46]

Hey, they look pretty good together!

So yeah. Good Together by Lake Street Dive released a few weeks ago, and this was supposed to come out in June for the June project, but I’m counting it for June so I don’t have an excuse to not do a July project.

The roles were picked based on the 30th Anniversary Music Festival art, so Dedede represents drummer Mike Calabrese, Bandee represents pianist Akie Bermiss, etc. Marx is actually really cute! I should draw him more. He’s representing bassist Bridget Kearney here.

I actually really like how this turned out. This was supposed to be finished in a day, but… I couldn’t.

Signed and color versions below the read more!

Yes it is read Cake Street Dive.

Now, thoughts on Good Together? I love it.

They really know how to start a song off. Most opening instrumental is so funky! I really like it! Favorite song is hard to pick… Dance with a Stranger, Seats at the Bar, Far Gone, Good Together… they all are great! Set Sail is so… wistful… I love it so much! It was the PERFECT album closer. Help Is On The Way is so groovy… ach! I love this album. The only song I kinda disregard is Twenty Five. Wistful like Set Sail, but personally not my cup of tea. I don’t prefer overly sad songs. But it’s still good, don’t get me wrong. But I won’t have it on loop like every other song. Please listen to Lake Street Dive if you have the chance! New favorite band besides Sammy Rae and the Friends. Hey, if you like them, I think you’ll like this group too!

Now for other matters.

Playing OneShot. Pretty good game so far. Niko is SO CUTE. Cold take, I know, but it’s the truth. The character designer designed so hard when creating them. Also I’m going in blind, which is a treat. I hear the story is VERY important, so yeah. I watched the Ace Attorney anime before playing the game, ruined it for me. Playing the Apollo Justice trilogy was a treat.

AAI2 released in the West, very glad about that. You KNOW I’m getting it.

That’s basically June, so see ya, and GOOD LUCK MY EARTHLY COMRADES! THE SUN IS COMING.

♪ We could be good together! ♪

also wtf there’s a tag limit.
