Neil Hogan Albums-a recommendation
Posted: Mon Jul 26, 2010 8:22 am
Hey guys
Just thought I'd write a few words about the albums you can see on the right hand side of the screen, yup, Neils albums.
Now we all know that they are avaiable and have had them recommended by a few people, but I thought I'd go a little bit deeper about them.
As many of you know I was lucky enough to win a bunch of these albums in the guitar competition (many thanks for the collaboration btw Chris), and over the last week or so I have got round to listening to Cobble Creek, Yesterdays News and El Dorado, maily whilst I've been doing admin work, I've driven with these albums on as well, and I've come to a few conclusions
1. This man is talented, seriously, no...seriously, until you have heard his albums you have no idea how talented, I've watched the videos he's done, the TG Live performances etc etc, and the albums are even better.
2. We've hardly scratched the surface of what Neil can teach us, listening to his playing made me realise this, we have a long way to travel, thankfully we have a great teacher.
3. In terms of playing style and ability, I'd happily say that some Neils playing reminds me of Tommy Emmanuel (or the other way round- not sure who was first), the jaw dropping technique, the subtlety, and the great instrumentals.
4. The albums are so relaxing to listen to-they ooze style, great playing, and help me chill (even if me brain is going "wow, how good is he!)
So there's my thoughts, if you haven't got Neils albums, I'd strongly suggest you click on the links and buy them, they really are that good.
