No, it isn't. I'm not much of a fan of the music "created" by oddly

I am!

Nice, I have the G3 Live in Tokyo DVD with Vai, Satriani, and
Petrucci. I think I will have to pull it out and see if I can find an
oddly shaped guitar and play along

Harry would never make a decent musician because of his narrow minded
views toward, well, everything. Most real, talented musicians love to
cross over to other genres and jamb with other musicians of other
genres.

Pablo Casals (cello) and Andres Segovia (guitar) are just two examples
of extremely narrow minded but completely "decent" musicians. They
both spoke very harshly about how all music other than their own was
total crap. There are countless others who are very accomplished
musically, but feel the same way. I'm not, of course suggesting that
all great musicians are narrow minded.

I'm sure there are other reasions why Harry would never make a decent
musician, but that isn't one of them.

And Segovia, and Jorge Morale, are two of the greatest inspiration to
the likes of Al DiMeola and Paco DeLuccia. two of the most open minded
cross genera guitarists alive.

Segovia wasn't somebody that I really appreciated much. As a
technician, brilliant. As an artist - eh.

I like DiMeola's music.

However, I have always appreciated Django Reinhardt. Definitely an
air head, but his music is uncompromised.

Also a big fan of Acoustic Alchemy and Greg Carmichael in particular.
Nick Webb was a great arranger/player in the original band and when he
passed, Carmichael brought in Miles Gilderdale who is a very
unheralded guitarist.
