Joyful! It's lemon floating in iced tea as dark as the Congo river. With a sprig of mint..... When a guitarist says "this says" you can tell he places human value to his works, which gives them true life. I really dig this.

Chord tones are key for blending both the rhythm and lead so that they dance on the same stage singing off the same hymn sheet. Here is a great example of music making melody with one another - not just a mindless fumble. Love it.

@ Joseph: You would play blues absolutely fine! Blues is universal. It's something no one can learn, or someone can teach. Blues is passed on from person to person. it's what you experience when you listen to blues. it affects people different ways. Say I showed you some old blues song I picked up from Furry Lewis, (the way you showed me some Soukous) You'd be playing 'Your blues' with a soukous flair, or vice versa, You have now just created a blues for some one to pick up on. Your feelings, your soul is now out there for another soul to connect with musically. Your blues melt with their blues. It's all universal, and it's nothing but feeling what you're dealing to get others reeling. Thank you for sharing soukous with everybody. I absolutely love it!

So true!!.....there is technique...then there is soul!! Place the same instrument in the hands of virtuoso players from different parts of the world, and different things come out!! Each region, each player brings their own soul into the music...that something from inside them that cannot be replicated in a textbook or tutorial, or even practice.
