Un giovane grande chitarrista italiano (emigrato)

[Fidelcaster]

Altro off topic, altra perla:

There was a period when it was all about needing to have this and this and this. Then I had the occasion to tour the Soviet Union. One night after a very hard travel day, we arrived in Kiev and I was invited to go to a jam session. I really didn't want to, but our kind of KGB guy let me know that I really kind of had to. But there was no gear. So this "jam session" was in an auditorium with 5,000 people, and clearly I was going to be onstage with some band. This was the peak of me needing my guitar, my cord, etc. Not only was the guitar I was given to play some unrecognizable Polish thing, the amp and everything truly looked like it was from the Soviet Union in 1958. I started to play a blues, and did my best, then went back to the hotel – where the thing I'd just done as a jam session was being broadcast, tape-delayed, all across the Soviet Union. And it sounded exactly like what I always sound like. It may as well have been my own guitar and setup.

Roberto, ma hai qualche cd in cui suona Pasquale? Io l'ho finora solo ascoltato (male) su YouTube.

Tanto per restare off topic, voglio sottolineare questa'altra frase di Pat:

For me, kind of the most important thing with any guitar is how much it's been played. If you play somebody's guitar that's five years old but they've played it 18 hours a day, it's going to have a thing going on that the guitar that's never been played from 1932 will not have.

Questo forse è il vero motivo per cui Stradivari e Guarneri sono tanto apprezzati dai concertisti? Sono strumenti che sono stati suonati ininterrottamente per secoli...

Scusa Fidel...avevo un ospite a pranzo e ho dilazionato le risposte..

Purtroppo anch'io non ho dischi di Pasquale, solo YouTube..

Riguardo alla maturazione degli strumenti rispetto alle ore suonate che dire....tendenzialmente condivido l'opinione di Metheny e la tua..e pure Carl Verheyen lo sostiene in un articolo che leggevo tempo fa..

Io posso aggiungere che la mia Tele Peter Florance ha solo 10 anni ma suona come una 62'...

Sottoscrivo in pieno e lo dico spesso anch'io. Solo che, non avendo l'autorevolezza di Metheny, poi finisco sempre travolto dai gear addicted

Ma parliamo di come suona questo giovanotto fenomenale! 

(Lo so, da che pulpito, gli OT sono colpa mia!    )

Pasquale Grasso - Time on My hands - YouTube

Perché non inserisce i video?

Probabilmente, chi lo ha caricato ha tolto la possibilità di embeddarlo altrove... 

[Fidelcaster]

embeddarlo altrove... 

Embedda matri! 

[Vu-meter]

Lui comunque è bravissimo.

Bentornati negli anni '40!
