Oct 10, 2008 - it's an eastman El Rey with gibson classic 57 pickups and a custom pickguard I had made for it. I've since switched to a sadowsky semi-hollow guitar which i like better.

Oct 10, 2008 - I wouldnt really call this a lick from "hell" I mean metheny has harder licksbut thanks for posting it was great learning this lick and I am incorporating it into a cool modal songBrecker bros licks would be cool...
sheetsofsound Says:
Oct 10, 2008 - that's what it's called in jazz guitar circles. I'll do some breckeresque stuff in the near future.
osensei2987 Says:
Oct 10, 2008 - Metheny indeed does have some good licks. But Metheny's style is not as articulate as Benson's. Metheny seems more "legatto" and Benson more "staccato". At times Metheny sounds like he's mumbling on the guitar. But I get more sentimental over Metheny's style than Benson's. Benson just doesn't move me as much! Maybe Benson is too chops oriented? Not totally chops oriented mind you. But rather a little more on the chops side than the emotive side. You know?
