    Took my dog to the Vet. Was sitting outside in the car. Radio on the Blues. A song really got my attention. I dug for a pin and paper to write down this gal named Samantha Fish. Samantha Fish ??? ( Yes I know, I don't get out of the cave much) Anyhow I got home. RUclipsd her up. The amount of songs she has. Her singing. Her stage presence. Her guitar playing etc..I became a HUGE FAN of this girl instantly.
    She is a Tee Total Bad Ass !..Oh yeah, I like the late Mr. Petty as well.

    I love her! So great to hear her just talk about what excites her about guitar. I would have guessed more country blues than rock. I had a similar route, I started out listening to straightforward rock like Van Halen and AC-DC (as well as Tom Petty) and when I started playing guitar I found out their favorite guitar player was Eric Clapton, and led me to the blues, which decades later led me to Samantha Fish. She's awesome!

  • @jerrym3261

    Complicated song, lots of layers, lots of guitar parts, outstanding guitarists and then she proceeds to play it all, just her, just one guitar. I like the way she starts the song better than the, just drop into it, of the original and then when she grabs those bass notes, stick a fork in me, I'm done. She's absolutely amazing in the way she constructs the dynamic of a song. It's all in the details and she has them stacked to the ceiling, always perfect and never the same twice. I can understand complex playing when you can tell they played it the same exact way hundreds of times to get it musical but, I think a lot of what she does is created in the moment. Watching her right hand is a magic show that you'll never figure out how she does that trick.

Would love to hear Meg L and SF trade phrases, then SF and Rebecca L trade vocals and chunky rhythms, then all three trading off leads.

    Mike used a little different phrasing on the arpeggios making them pretty difficult. They sometimes played that song really fast which would be nearly impossible to do that lead. I have no idea how the hell he was able to play it that fast. He used finger picking along with the flat pick. I never was able to get it down right even after playing that song for 15 years in a cover band. I got close but never nailed it perfectly but... Mike never really nailed it PERFECTLY live either, then again, he sometimes used a 12 string Rick. What a great player!
