Are you a guitar gladiator? Spartacus of Guitar?

Reminds me of Romeo Rose and Sythman.

I wonder if he plays wide necked guitars?

Three Dog Night did have a lot of hits in North America, but as pointed out, they were all covers.  Also, I'm not entirely sure either of the 2 front men did anything but sing.   Their hits weren't exactly peppered with guitarwork.

What's the matter with you lot?
This guy knows what he's talking about, he's a guitarist in the world famous "Trembles" for Chrissake.

They did have a guitarist called Michael Allsup, apparently. 

I'm not sure if that's a remarkably fine head of hair or a Davy Crockett coonskin hat.

He may have deleted the blog,  but the homepage has some top quality tripe. I may talk some bollocks at times but I'm never this bad.....

" Today's video will point out a typical situation where an up-and-coming guitarist was subjugated by being yelled over at every possible spot where a better crescendo conclusion could've been possible in the guitar solo improvisation segment. The bandleader made no adjustment for dynamics with any of the other instruments, which would have helped to encourage a breakthrough solo moment, a moment that the guitarist is more than capable of achieving. I understand that this was a rehearsal, although that kind of makes curtailing the guitar solo by the bandleader even worse. This guitarist was allowed a few measly bars in a rehearsal to have a chance to solo, and as if to add insult to injury, even that tiny little spotlight segment was shouted down by the bandleader. His shouting over the guitarsist was even louder on the original video...."


Eh?

It's a bit Whine-y for a Gladiator isn't it?

I love the fact it's not the guitarists fault. The guitarist should be given full space and insist that the band listen to the guitar solo, even if it goes on for ten minutes.

Only a true gladiator would mouth off then bottle it and delete, "I didn't say I'm Spartacus, it was him..."

What an extraordinary load of tosh that bloke has written.

I know, amazing isn't it?
Imagine someone writing such a load of tosh on the internet.
