hard to dislike What a great tribute to the guitar and its players. Not surprisingly, the set focuses on blues and rock which is fine with me. But you have to love J McClaughlin's(?)brilliance and Larry Carlton is a monster player also. I think Metheny is overrated but I still would have liked to have seen him on this disk. Leaving out Jeff Bck is a huge mistake. Mayer is OK, but cut him and incluce Beck. The Vai, with Sheehan on bass, thing is a helluva lot of fun. Its fun to watch the shredders. He has very fast fingres but plays with emotion to boot. To P Dummy(Duffy), Billy Gibbons is probably the most underrated player in the whole genre. If you cannot recognize that you have your ears up your posterior or you havn't really listend to that "Little 'ol Band from Texas." Listen to the ZZ Top sixpack which focuses on all their great 70's stuff. There a lot of guys that could have been on this disk. I wonder if Warren Haynes was invited? Eric Johnson is awesome. Go see him live. Incredible. I'm a huge Buddy Guy fan. I love Clapton and all those guys, but to me Buddy is just the S**T. I've seen him 6 or 7 times here in Atlanta, over the last ten years and man he smokes. If you haven't seen Buddy live, do it! Watch Sweet Home Chicago. Buddy is toying with those guys. They are all under his thumb. To me , he is the greates bluesman alive today(with huge respect for BB King...different styles). My 2nd disk also had the same problem the earlier reviewer had. The last four songs were not there. When I tried to get to them the disk went to Santana and Bramhall performances from the first disk. I went to Best Buy and swapped it. The new one is OK. Very enjoyable set. I'll be watching this one for a long time.
