“You have to be able to make a mistake and not be judged by it.” That statement needs to be taught to every new guitarist. I was taught that by one of my first and most inspirational teachers in 1981 and it made a huge difference to my playing.

I guess what I’m trying to say is that awareness allowed me to enjoy playing without ever thinking about being judged, and that is galactically important.

When you asked him about the first piece that blew him away, my first thought was he was going to say the Beach Boys. Bill’s music reminds me a lot of them. It was nice (for once) to have an opinion validated, great interview, new subscriber

The spiritual connection between artist and instrument that Bill started to explain is, to me, a hallmark of his playing. I believe, contributing to that mojo is the luthier’s journey - the passion, pain, and elation in an instrument’s creation. - Sam
@guitarmagic
Ай бұрын
If the people who touch the instrument give it some life force, then it makes sense that the player and luthier add to the mojo. That's something I like about hand built instruments - not necessarily that they sound, look, or play better (which they often do)... but that a luthier's intentions go into it.

My dad is John Hammond, the jazz pianist. Hence the Little John nickname (so what if I'm much than my dad is now). There is no relation to John Hammond the record producer or blues guitarist, although, we have all received phone calls meant for the others over the years.
