GUITAR as a METAPHOR for LIFE - Guitar Discoveries Episode #100!

#100episodes #guitarinspiration #greatguitarists
100 episodes of Guitar Discoveries! I wanted to do something special to celebrate this milestone. So I created this short video to honor YOU — someone who dares to pick up the guitar and keep playing as long as it takes to make the music your soul longs to express.
The older I get, the more I realize guitar is a lifelong journey of discipline and discovery. I hope this video inspires you to keep playing and learning.

The guitarists honored in this video are a likely and unlikely few of those who've inspired me along my own journey: Marc Bolan, Jeff Buckley, Larry Carlton, Maybelle Carter, Charlie Christian, Eric Clapton, Annie Clark (St. Vincent), David Crosby, Ani DiFranco, Dan Fogelberg, Lowell George, David Gilmour, Steve Hackett, Jim Hall, George Harrison, Michael Hedges, Brittany Howard, Steve Howe, Hozier, Chrissie Hynde, Rickie Lee Jones, Carol Kaye, Mark Knopfler, Leo Kottke, Julian Lage, Daniel Lanois, John Lennon, John Mayer, Paul McCartney, Roger (Jim) McGuinn, Joni Mitchell, Christopher Parkening, Keith Richards, Andres Segovia, Paul Simon, Cat Stevens, Stephen Stills, James Taylor, Doc Watson, Nancy Wilson, Neil Young

Of course, as soon as I posted the video, I remembered many more I could/should have included...like Walter Becker, Barney Kessel, Maury Muehleisen, Jimmy Page, Joe Pass, Robbie Robertson, Chris Whitley and Rusty Young, to name just a few. (More will come to mind over time.)
