I am looking at the February 2007 Guitar Player`s
issue and i see Tommy Bolin on the cover.
One of my favourite guitar players who unfortunately died too young.
My student Gregg is into 70`s Rock and i like showing him
how to play all these licks and songs that he loves but couldn`t
figure them out on the fretboard.
Last night i was showing him two songs from The James Gang
album “Miami” called “Cruisin` Down the Highway” and “Do it”
featuring Tommy Bolin.
I like the sound of the band and I love Tommy`s playing and sound.
If you are into 70`s heavy guitar riffing you can`t go wrong with his playing.
Although Joe Walsh was one of the founding members
and highly responsible for group`s fame,
they couldn`t have done a better choice replacing him with Tommy,
after he left for to form an even more succesful band,
The Eagles.
But Tommy`s playing ,sound and vision was and still is closer to my heart.
Check him out!
