A little extra in the guitar series. It doesn't quite fit there, since the idea was to feature one guitarist in every post, although in a few cases (Duane Allman being the most obvious) it's hard to isolate one player from a group. And these three will all get their own posts at some point in the year. So I'll just drop it in here, as a follow-up to the Hendrix "Red House" post.
G3 is not a group, but a series of concert tours starringJoe Satriani and a varying cast of two other guitar wizards. I think this is from the first one, which includes Eric Johnson and Steve Vai. Anyone who pays much attention to the world of electric guitar music will recognize the names. Suffice to say that they're some of the most dazzling virtuosos in the field. It's interesting here that they turn the dazzle down some and play good solid blues, technically impressive but not ostentatiously so.
