Wow Pete moving up in the world. Good for him but also this gig is a major skill level step up from his usual stuff he does. It’ll be interesting to see if he can hack it! Not pretending that I could, but he usually plays way simpler stuff.

Good for Pete. He is a monster player.

What's your problem?

Great for Pete, but I wonder why Vai and Satriani need another guitar player?

 

[bubucci]

For rhythm guitar maybe ?
Pete Thorn is great musician and also a composer but it is hard to swallow for some of the local gurus. He doesnt have Wazard or Lorry so what he know about tone, right ?

I was surprised, though both of his instrumental albums are actually very good

I don’t have a problem. I just remember the few times you went in on Pete before.

Do you really believe Don Henley, Melissa Etheridge, Chris Cornell and even The Classic Rock Show are “simple”?

Cool.

There is more to excellent guitar playing or musicianship than shredding my brother.

I think he should keep his political views to himself, otherwise I like his demos and playing.
I own a Pete Thorn Suhr!

Double vision required.

For a start he has very good time and pocket. Both infinitely more difficult to achieve than blazing scales. And I’m a Satch and Vai fan.

Try harder.
