Talk:Guitar showmanship

message: I like the fact that there is an article on this topic and appreciate that the article has only been in development for 18 months. As it stands, it lacks sufficient scope to be considered objective. Aside from the cursory mention of Charlie Patton, the entire article focuses on a handful of mid-era Blues based Rock celebrities who emerged from ~1965 to the late 80's. Alvino Rey, Django Reinhardt, Woody Guthrie, Les Paul, T-Bone Walker, Elvis Presley, Chet Atkins, Buddy Guy, Bootsy Collins, Danny Gatton, Stanley Jordan, Bucket Head, Hillel Slovak, Les Claypool, and Jake Shimabukuro to name only a few have all contributed some unique aspect to stage performance for guitarists. To some extent there has been an evolution, a promiscuous borrowing of mannerisms within and across genres. With investigation one will find that many of the 'unique' moves cited in the article are in fact not original to the players mentioned. For example, playing guitar with teeth or bow was not unique at the time. I do not suggest that the article become a compendium of stage acts or a history of their development. The guitarist has a very long and varied history in music performance. My feeling is that this article requires something a bit better organized across numerous periods, genres and types of guitars to achieve something approaching substance and objectivity.

message: Not up for searching for sources right now, but it is well known, and easily confirmed on video, that this was just a stage trick.  He just made it look like he was playing with his teeth. Hopefully I will find the energy to get back to this. Dlabtot (talk) 04:45, 3 December 2015 (UTC)
