Little bit of discussion about John's semi-acoustic (and Thundercat's) here a little while ago...

I've got a.ot of time for JP. I remember when we all heard 'Got A Match' for the first time and all ran out and bought the Electrik Band LP (pre-CD days). Everyone was trying to play it and everyone was failing!!

I love that album... Scott Henderson who appears on it dis's it terribly saying it was Chick's show band phase where he wanted to reach the masses, but I love all the tunes and JP shines as you say.

The extra track that did come on the CD when we finally got round to getting it was a real stinker though! (Naff ballad - not CIty Gates, the other one)

Scott H plays like an absolute MF on the Elektric Band live in Barcelona gig which my mate had on VHS back in the day. He and Carlos Rios were so much more to my taste than Frank Gambale (who was no slouch though!)
I bought Light Years first which was a little more mainstream so when I got the 1st album on vinyl my head blew off!

Phenomenal player on both electric and upright  but I must say I much preferred his electric tone with a Ken Smith in the early days. To me the Yamaha tone is too thin and stringy.

I want to see him do the spider on a sixer!

Just saying because that little exercise used to tie me in knots on my five.  I can't imagine doing it on a sixer.

Love the spider. That was in his VHS tape wasn’t it?

Thanks.  You saved me the bother of re-embedding a troublesome link.
