His playing changed over the years. Hope they will do a reunion soon. Do you all have that legendary YellowYackets album ? The yellow one with the hornet ? These ES models are so hip lately.... Love my AM205's.. a little history : Chuck Berry BB King Grant Green Eric Clapton Alvin Lee Larry Carlton (Mr ES-335) Lee Ritenour (Captain Fingers) Robben Ford. John Scofield (later switched to Ibanez) i'm sure i missed some names..   Petruz Username: Petruz Registered: 5-2004 Posted on Monday, September 17, 2007 - 6:49 am:    how about steve khan? he's a master and long-time ES335 player. last thursday i saw adam rogers playing here in rome. incredible musician, with a nice, powerful (though not "screamer") ES335 jazztone.   Callistabb Username: Callistabb Registered: 2-2006 Posted on Monday, September 17, 2007 - 9:33 am:    Robben is one of my long time favorites. Unique ability to combine tasteful jazz licks with genuine blues tonality and touch. Not one of the “the faster, the better” guitarists. Sustain and muting is built into his fingers. And yes, have most of the older Yellow Jackets albums. /Bjorn   Sgjazz Username: Sgjazz Registered: 7-2007 Posted on Monday, September 17, 2007 - 9:49 am:    I love Steve Khan. He was a very early influence on me. Way back in my teens I was a huge Alex Lifeson (Rush) fan. In fact when I was 16 I bought a Gibson ES-347 because of him. I still have it.   Guitartim Username: Guitartim Registered: 4-2001 Posted on Monday, September 17, 2007 - 10:21 am:    +1 for Steve Khan! I first saw him in '71 or '72 playing with the Brecker Brothers band in Hollywood's Troubador. Man, what a great player!   Petruz Username: Petruz Registered: 5-2004 Posted on Monday, September 17, 2007 - 10:35 am:    steve khan is one of my favorite players. i think he's a bit underrated too. anyway, i spent this last august studying his book "contemporary chord khancepts". very clever and useful information. the book comes with two cds played by him, and has abundant info about his guitars, pedal settings, and recording techniques. strangely as it may be for a jazz player, mr. khan uses .09 gauge strings on his '81 ES335 heritage series!   Iguy Username: Iguy Registered: 5-2007 Posted on Monday, September 17, 2007 - 5:28 pm:    +1 as well for Steve Khan. I'm happy to find people who remember this guy. I remember hearing his album, "The Blue Man"" and just really digging his playing.   Artfield Username: Artfield Registered: 4-2001 Posted on Monday, September 17, 2007 - 8:11 pm:    Steve is great always greta musical concepts, love this trio record with Anthony Jackson and Steve Jordan very hip music. He also made some nice latin records with teh Caribbean Jazz project.Playing some really nice latin grooves. Petruz i have that book too very nice... he went back to his gibson 335, as seen on myspace. did you check this book its really happening in Brasil at the moment a must for all Brasil music fans...for you ofcourse old stuff... https://nossamusica1.locaweb.com.br/UkJNUDAwMg==   Petruz Username: Petruz Registered: 5-2004 Posted on Tuesday, September 18, 2007 - 4:32 am:    pat, tx for the link. marco pereira is an outstanding guitar player, he executes those complex rythms with unparalleled ease, even more than romero lubambo i think.   Michaelkaufman Username: Michaelkaufman Registered: 11-2002 Posted on Tuesday, September 18, 2007 - 1:43 pm:    Is anyone else going tonight? http://www.thecuttingroomnyc.com/jax_calendar.php?

Gil is a big RF fan, too.   Stbatz Username: Stbatz Registered: 4-2007 Posted on Wednesday, September 19, 2007 - 3:56 pm:    Hi,please check this link: www.litoepumer.com ,is another underrated 335 user a amazin guitar player and composer. Regards   Michaelkaufman Username: Michaelkaufman Registered: 11-2002 Posted on Wednesday, September 19, 2007 - 4:20 pm:    It was a fine show. Both these guys can really play! btw...if you're from the NYC area and you're familiar with The Bottom Line, a great venue which closed a few years ago, The Cutting Room is very much like a scaled down version of The Bottom Line. Highly recommended venue! mk
