Does anyone know if I'll be allowed to film Guthrie at music live?

Hey Ed,

Enjoyed your comments on Jeff Beck. I recently saw some JB video, posted over in the JB forum. He's really interesting to watch-- like he's giving his strat a chiropractic adjustment. The resulting phrases and sounds reflect the player's manipulations. More going on there than rock star poses and grimaces to mimic some cliche gimmicks and effects. The master really rolls up his sleeves, breaks out the hand tools and goes to work. It's both the meat and the motion.

I dont know if you guys know this but Guthrie will NOT be playing at Music Live due to his commitments with ASIA.

What a Bummer! Crying or Very sad

I signed up to recieve info on music live(through their website) after I found out guthrie was gonna play. I received an email from them on monday confirming the line up but with a footnote at that bottom saying that Guthrie has had to pull out. I seriously hope it was a mistake!

I emailed them but got this automated reply:

I will be out of the office starting 01/11/2005 and will not return until
07/11/2005.

Crying or Very sad

Can anyone confirm that Guthrie isn't going to be there, because that was the only reason I was going.

Thanks

I strongly agree. We all subscribe to this site because we love the music and guitar playing style of GG. We're not here to pay homage MAB or anybody else. We will have our opinion!

For the record, I was lucky enough to get a front row seat at Guthrie's clinic at Music Live last year and he was not only his usual awesome self playing-wise, but he was very pleasant to the audience as well. He answered questions he's probably fielded 1,000 times, but he was amiable enough to talk us through his favourite licks, his preference for hybrid picking, 8 finger tapping etc etc. I can't wait for another dose this year! :D

For those of you that went to MUSIC LIVE did Guthrie play or not?
I chose not to go beacause of the email that I recieved.

No evidence of GG or the fact that he ever was goina play. The whole show was poor this year to previous years. I won't expect to be going again!
