Ken Fox Member From: Ray City, GA USA	posted 14 December 2006 05:50 PM profile Scotty has become my all time favorite guitarist! I like what I hear, very musical and harmonic. Style, technique and taste all rolled into one great musician. Great guy to boot. I recently had the opportunity to see him live in Macon, thanks to a lead from Bill Hatcher!!! Thanks again, Bill. What a show that was. In a small dinner theater in downtown Macon with dinner for two and a candle-lit table to boot. We had a ball.

Papa Joe Pollick Member From: Pontiac, Michigan, USA	posted 14 December 2006 10:06 PM profile Ain't there some kind of law against that? Maybe we need government control.
Alvin Blaine Member From: Sandy Valley, Nevada, USA	posted 15 December 2006 02:26 AM profile I used to go to the Namm show all the time back in the '80's and Scotty would be picking like that all day every day in the Yamaha booth. I would sit down and play rhythm for him every time I had a chance, and would just watch his fingers go. I actually ended up with one of those Yamaha acoustics like in this clip. It was one of the ones he was playing on, so he basically sold me a guitar. It had the blue burst finish, I think my Ex-wife still has it. I miss going to those Namm shows and watching him play. He would have everyone in the world crammed into the Yamaha booth. From Albert Lee and Ray Flacke to Joe Pass, they all would just watch in amazement.

Rick McDuffie Member From: Smithfield, North Carolina, USA	posted 16 December 2006 02:18 PM profile The dangedest part of that is when he plays those double stops at that speed. Unbelievable. I love it! Actually, the tune is "Are You From Dixie?" [This message was edited by Rick McDuffie on 16 December 2006 at 02:22 PM.]

Ken Fox Member From: Ray City, GA USA	posted 16 December 2006 04:01 PM profile As a matter of fact one of his best albums is called "Triple Stop". The boy do pick! http://www.guitar9.com/classicscotty.html Some more great audio at his website: Check out Grabbit! http://home.fuse.net/pvee/SA.html [This message was edited by Ken Fox on 16 December 2006 at 04:01 PM.]
Russ Hicks Member From: Pegram, Tennessee, USA	posted 17 December 2006 08:15 AM profile Hey Ken...thanks for sharing....for me it serves as a gentle reminder of what a talent Scotty is....come to think of it, there's nothing 'gentle' about it...he is absolutely amazing....I roomed with Odel Martin for two years with the Kitty Wells band, and he was really something to listen to, but Odel would at least give you a chance to catch your breath.....not Scotty.....I just can't see it ever getting any better than that, all around. rh
Jack Stoner Sysop From: Inverness, Florida	posted 18 December 2006 04:44 AM profile At the risk of hijacking this thread, I have to agree with you on Odell. It was always a treat when he would stop in at Little Roy Wiggin's music store and join in the jams there. Odell was working for Faron at the time. I have the "test pressing" record for the "Martin Plays Grammer" that he made for the Grammer Guitar Co.
Rick McDuffie Member From: Smithfield, North Carolina, USA	posted 19 December 2006 03:04 PM profile Were they triple stops? My ear only had time for two pitches
Jody Sanders Member From: Magnolia,Texas	posted 20 December 2006 09:57 PM profile Scotty Anderson is a fantantic talent. It is hard to believe one can play that clean that fast. In his day, Odell Martin was awesome. It is nice to see someone like Scotty showing what can be done on a guitar. Can you just imagine how much time he has put in to be able to play that fast and that clean. Thanks again guys for the post.
Jack Stoner Sysop From: Inverness, Florida	posted 21 December 2006 03:05 AM profile As I noted in a previous thread on Scotty, a local singer friend (John "fish" Herbert) said he gave Scotty his first band job when he was 16. Even at 16 he was fantastic. John said if he gave Scotty a break on a song he didn't know when to stop so he said he made an agreement with him to play a "regular' break on songs and he would give him a couple of instrumentals during the gigs. This was in the Kentucky side of Cincinatti.
James Cann Member From: Phoenix, AZ (heart still in Boston)	posted 21 December 2006 08:10 PM profile Boy, from the many called, the few are chosen!
