Realised I was doing the same hard stare at a recent Albert Lee gig. It was a tiny venue where I was sat less than 6 feet from the man and every solo I found myself watching his flying fingers intently (along with 90% of the rest of the audience I might add).
Slight variation on the OP - at a gig there was a lad at the side of the stage - before we started I was playing random riffs - and he started calling out the songs I was playing.... I did a bit of cissy strut and he called it, I played Green Onions he called it out, I played a bit of pick up the pieces - he called it out - it was weird and carried on during the break in-between sets.... I tried to catch him out (I have no idea why!) but he got them all - at the end of the show he was gone lol..... weird.....
I host a well attended Jam night every Wed - literally last night there was a young guy played a couple of songs. He had a Tokai les paul plugged into my rig - didn`t press any pedals, played it clean, combination of fingers and pick, wonderful sound and very different to my style. I watched him pretty closely! But then again I guess after 30+ years of playing I`m still a guitar geek.
I`m less bothered about pedals - I mean, I`m not that much of a geek......... :-)
Someone did ask me about my Laney Lionheart once, just the curiosity that I had an amp that wasn't a black box or tweed.
One said "is that a Silhouette" - which was sort of close-ish.. i.e. Ernie Ball /. Musicman ballpark - since they did go on on to do Eddie's guitars and the other asked was it an Ibanez.?
I don't usually get any comments...
Nobody asked about the playing - which is either a good or bad thing depending on how you look at it !
I saw a fantastic blues band the other night. I just went up to the guitarist in the interval and said how much I was enjoying it. He was dead friendly showed me his rig. Had a chat about amps. Most people are wonderful.
To be fair he didn't play a duff note all night (nor did the rest of them), but I was watching beady eyed all night for some stupid reason!
Too Many Strats, A few Les Pauls, A couple of PRS and a Brian May Red Special, Oh, I nearly forgot an Ivison 58 Double Cut
Half time one of them says “That Epihone 335 your playing sounds f###ing amazing!” It was my Eastman T386…..
