I read once that Air Supply "creates" their melodies from combinations of notes that have been deemed (by technology or algorithms or something) to be most pleasant to most people.  Such R+R rebels!  LOL

OK, to be honest. I've never really acted like I was playing a guitar.
 
But if I did, I would want to go all out.

Leo Kottke is good.

I used to have one of his albums...



But when it comes to acoustic guitar players, I'm much more of a Pat Donohue fan.

WinkKeep Pat...I'd rather dredge up Chet & Doc to play along...but maybe only for a bit.
Of course, this was picked up in the heydays of 'the best of the best playing with all the other best of the best', which actually, in my eyes, resulted in too much boring stuff for too long. Some folks even sort of got 'lost' (Jeff Beck?).
This was my first Leo Kottke album...

John Prine is one of the greatest songwriters around, but a very basic guitar player.

Kinda like Jimmy Buffet in that regard.

Their buddy Steve Goodman OTOH, was a great guitar player. Not on the level of Leo Kottke or Pat Donohue, but better than Prine and Buffet.

I love 'story telling', or 'story time'.
Prine is a true story teller, Goodman was, also.
Kottke and the like are more 'artists'.
Art can get boring after so many reviews - stories rarely do.
On extremely rare occasions the planets all seem to line up and we end up with the likes of Dylan, where story and art truly come together, for a bit. One has to catch that time precisely right as it often gets out of balance and it can seem like a lifetime between real pieces of art. In my eyes Dylan did that between 'Blonde 0n Blonde' and 'Blood On The Tracks'.

Everyone likes Air Guitar.  Air Supply - maybe not quite so much.Ermm

Who here hasn't rocked out with your best imitation-of-a-guitar-god to most stuff by Led Zep, especially Trampled Under Foot.  It's OK to admit it!Wink

Prine and Dylan are singer/song writers first and foremost.

Kottke is not. He is a guitar wizard. Period.

He is not a singer or a song writer.

Goodman was a singer/song writer who also had some pretty good guitar chops.

You just said the same thing I did in different words.
I'm not going to discuss Prine - he's a personal friend.
I'm proud of you, other than the fact I disagree about Dylan, but we can agree to disagree - I'll let you be correct another timeBig smileLOLWink....

No, I didn't say the same thing you just said.

You made the distinction between Prine/Goodman as "storytellers" vs Kottke as "artist".

Neither untrue nor inaccurate. 

I merely expanded on your comment by making the more specific distinction between Kottke as guitarist and Prine/Goodman as singer/songwriters.

No big deal. Just having a conversation.

And I guess I'll just have to wait for you to post those pictures of you and your "personal friend"... someday. Ermm

Big smileLOLWink
