This site is for nominally people excited about making or recording music. We shouldn't say discouraging things. So when the Deke says anyone needing that last little bit of encouragement to never pick up the guitar again is encouraged to attend a particular concert, rest assured it's a compliment. That's how 1604 VLZ Pro user Larry Carlton's virtuosity affects the Deke. He plays at a level so far beyond most players it's sort of astonishing. To make matters worse, Larry will be sharing the stage with another player blessed with "howz he do that?" kind of virtuosity, Robben Ford . The Deke predicts seeing these two perform together will be much like DaVinci and Picasso both answering a Craig's List ad to paint your house. It doesn't seem possible but whatever the price, we're paying.
