    This was during the outdo guitar solo of their song "Ghosts". It was incredible to watch the master Ian Thornley do his thing! He's always been one of my biggest inspirations in music.

      @@paulcummings287 I’m listening now. This is the perfect example of why the guitar needs to be louder in the mix. Sound guys are always trying to burry it to much. I guess when you’re the lead singer and guitarist you get your way. Loud guitar is what got me hooked in the first place. Maybe not every song but at least half, lol

      Not every band is meant to be huge. And Ian has done some things that are more technical and appealing to musicians. Hes one of my favorite guitarists. Ive watched every interview, podcast, and guitar lesson. Thats the kind of success Ian wants as a teacher and musician. You cant chart or sell records to get that type of notoriety. I think they are right where they should be.

    • @Jarod1941
      @Jarod1941 6 месяцев назад +1

      You may have already noticed, but in the 25+ years I've been a B.W./Ian fan, he usually only does this in very small venues with a miniscule crowd.
      Even the show we saw at the Commodore, the venue is bigger than the type he usually does this at.
      I saw BW at Central City Brewing in Surrey in 2005. There couldn't have been more than 200 people there. Twice he took off on solos that were 10+ minutes of him just playing whatever his fingers decided to do (and both were far better than this).
      He's made brief comments during interviews that his preference is still a small venue with a small crowd. There must be something that flows through him in places like Central City or the small venue in the vid above that brings out his creative "I'm going to make this guitar sing tonight".

    • @Jarod1941
      @Jarod1941 6 месяцев назад

      P.S. - check out all his RUclips clips of him playing at the Suhr Factory parties. He does a lot of extended solos when they held those.
      "Big Wreck/Ian Thornley Suhr Factory" should bring up a pretty long list.

Thanks very very much for sharing the great performance!! Very well done!
