Really in some respects he keeps on breaking new grounds, constant experimenting with guitars and sounds and the vigour in playing at that level is just amazing. Those two drummers (keyboardist in dual role there) works real hard to keep up.
Yes I do but John is so pentatonic based that in the modern world, sounds so ancient. John had the ability to go way outside of the musical box but for some reason he didn't. So weird to me. I love John's musical concept but he cold have gone so far beyond. Never understood why he didn't.
John McLaughlin is the best guitar player in my opinion. His unique style and tremendous virtuosity!! I still enjoy watching the old videos with the Mahavishnu orchestra... it's so incredible!!! Thank you for your comment!!
In 1974, I heard the Mahavishnu Orchestra, and thought “Wow! I gotta learn to play like that! “ 50 years later, I hear the Mahavishnu Orchestra I think “wow I gotta learn how to play like that”. * sigh *
Crazy how he still plays as well as ever past 80 years of age. That's quite unusual. Amazing musician, still full of fire.

He is stunning in his virtuosity and clearly in shear speed and articulation.
What a drag it is to get old. Gotta love John's playing.

@@jayumble8390 Maybe out of respect to Jeff. Jeff almost never played altered scales.
@@jayumble8390 Utterly bizarre take
@@007zzHe should've respected fellow countryman Allan Holdsworth best..not only in phrasing..tone as well.
Love it
I saw john thru many concerts. Always on top. No one better
