    Awesome playing right there! Ray Gomez outclasses many of his guitar contemporaries with a unique blend of speed, precision, and soul!

    What an awesome tune, awesome playing by the band. The feel of this song is absolutely amazing. Love Ray's work with the whammy on this one. Love the feel and the tune!

    Super glad you posted this and and Ray Gomez is extraordinary Precise great feeling and groove One of the greatest guitar players of our time I heard about Ray when I listened to Lenny white's Album Venetian summer back in the seventies that is a great album with his guitar work I'm glad I was here to to hear this music. Blessings to you Ray and thanks for playing that great music.

      Ray Gomez may very well be the most underrated guitarist in history.

      Ray's solo on Stanley Clarkes School Days track was a religious experience... and my introduction to him.

    Been a fan of Ray Gomez's playing ever since hearing Lenny White's Mating Drive. I had no idea that he looked so much like Austin Powers, though. Grooovy baby!

    AWESOME!! Many thanks for this \m/. Ray is criminally under represented on YT, I guess there was just not much videoing back in the day. I wonder where that SLO is now? I know I don't have it, damnit lol.

    • @abrock7928
      @abrock7928 5 месяцев назад +3

      They both played with Stanley a lot. And, quite frankly beck's "Brush with the Blues" was a copy of Ray's "Sweet Life" - I quite frankly think Jeff copied Ray.

    • @percyvolnar8010
      @percyvolnar8010 Месяц назад

      Ray would have obliterated Jeff on so many fronts. And thats not just ME saying that... There is this other criminally underrated guitarist named Nick Moroch who knows something about both Ray and Jeff. And to be quite frank, I think jeff may have shat his pants when he first heard the guitar solo from School Days.

    Very good playing but something is still missing for me with Ray. A lack of melodic fluidity. He seems to always cut off his melodic lines abruptly and they never fully expand into what they could be.

      Number one, I would say this not a good example of Ray's playing, where I too can hear a lack of flow. Nor of his technique, where I bet he would want it smoother. But to hear White Night by Walden - or The Sun Is Dancing - anyone would ask, OK, who's the guitar player?

    • @asegal4677
      @asegal4677 Год назад

      @@andrewgillis8572 I agree with you. He does have some very good flow on some of his tracks. For me he is a bit hit or miss in regards to fluidity. But he definitely a very enjoyable player, overall.

      @@asegal4677 Prego! In the hands of a producer like NMW you have more than enough flash or phrasing, your choice, from Monsieur Gomez' within hours of his first tracking session. Fewer, the better, and single pass, ideal - my bet, Ray has done this, but also been edited together Z(EG by Grammy-winning Narada) & with fine result. Gig he missed IMO would be Steely Dan - they'd freak on Gomez, surely. The Gypsy Shredder!

      Lack of melodic fluidity? Wow..... this playing is great! The nuances with the whammy, the feel, absolutely awesome. Not sure where you are coming up with the melodic lines ending abruptly - maybe you could get more specific?
