Lee Ritenour - Guitar Player 1976

The Magazine Guitar Player did a recording with

in those days, the best guitarists of 1976

I had this record and it was very good.

It also shows the varaity of different styles in jazzguitar

and jazzartists.

This was a record my teacher recomended me to study and listening to for learning

and understanding different styles and techniques.

 

One cat that I early got "hooked" on was Larry Coryell,

today I still like him. He is a different cat and plays all kinds of styles today.

In those days 1976 Larry Coryell was "Mr Fusion No 1"

and maybe he still has that title today.

Janne Schaffer, a famus studioguitarist from Sweden and also a "fusioncat" of high class recomended him for me to listening 1975 already! 

Note that year 1976, a guy called Pat Metheney was not yet heard of !

But there was one  cat, to me that was very special and

  I love his music and style, and he is still my No 1.

His first album in his own name came 1976 - "First Course"

And on his latest album " aTwist of Rit" 2015 are some of these "old"

tunes from that album taken up again, but in a different style.

Good music never gets old!

I have seen him live in Copenhagen/Denmark and he is GOOD!

He was called "Captain Fingers" at that time.
