Grant Green

Back



Probably my absolute favorite guitarist. Grant was one of the best, and has somehow managed to slip under the radar, for the most part. After hours of searching and scouring I could only find this small amount of video footage. Sadly he only made it to the age of 44. Rest in Peace G.G.

It took me several viewings to realize he's playing an Epiphone. Grant seemed to favor P90's. Even when playing Gibson thinlines.

He is not playing "an Epiphone." He is playing the finest Epi ever produced -- the mighty Emperor.

Ar du Dansk, NikinDK? Flot! Og hello fra San Francisco. Jag elsker Danmark. (Sorry, bad Danish.)

i look at it like this: whoever succeeds at putting "feeling" on a record wins. it is very hard to record something that people can feel and few a capable of that.grant green,santana,benson,wonder,gaye and a few others r superstars bcuz of this fact...forget all that technical claptrap.

Hey Dan thats not true at all-you can find plenty of full time musicians on youtube...hell it is a way to get exposure. Now, maybe not all of them sit around watching 30 random videos a day but maybe some of them do. Even bands touring nonstop have free time, let alone the pro who teaches and gigs on weekends. Peace

While im not here to bash Santana, hes not on the level of Grant. The less is more theory Carlos based his playing on got old after awhile and seemed to be used as a crutch for him. Sure Carlos at woodstock ripped on acid was great, he was very viceral but at the end of the day he never improved or tried to develop other styles.

Good points Hash. I always felt if Carlos didn't have that Big Latin backing band his shortcomings would really be exposed...but his syle works in context. That said, his live version of Samba ba ti MOVES me (off of Lotus). Slash is another one who I enjoy but, is very limited...but who cares again he talks to my soul.
