To me fusion guitarists are the cream of the crop, Beck, John McLaughlin, Steve Vai, Zappa, Santana and Al Dimeola to name a few.

I AM JEALOUS! Yes Gawaine, I think you are right in that Beck's comment about Hammer is just what you said. Groovin' with another player is like ... tapping into energy outside of yourself, the sum of two parts becoming much greater, etc. Man, I love those albums--and Blow by Blow--they are my favorites when it comes to Beck. I saw him with Hymas on bass synth and keyboards and Terry Bozzio on drums in a three-man powerhouse setup on his Guitar Shop tour (Stevie Ray Vaughn opened; it was his last concert in Sacramento). Fabulous! Bozzio is probably my favorite rock drummer, and he sounded great behind Beck, integrating with Hymas very nicely. Blue Wind, Star Cycle, El Becko, Pump, Space Boogie, 'Cause We've Ended as Lovers, Freeway Jam--man, I gotta go dig out some old CDs ... .

On another note: just finished listening to a phenomenal guitar album: Al Dimeola's Elegant Gypsy. Race with the Devil!
