John McLaughlin Interview

[@CalicoSilver]

I love this guy. We are blessed to have been able to enjoy his art for 50+ years. His gratitude and humility is inspiring.

[@RedRose4711]

I was gonna say something to match your words, but couldn't find any better ones.

[@jonRboy]

@@RedRose4711 Me too! I was saying to myself 'I love this guy' about 3 minutes into the interview. It blew my mind to see those 4 words start the first comment I saw.

Dear Mr. McLaughlin : I was Blessed to your music in the 1970's , and am possibly your biggest fan. Your music changed the course of my life, and allowed me, after 40 years of devoted practice, to culture and explore the music within myself (it's on KZbin). You helped to find a reason and definition for my life. With you , I had someone I could look up to , and with your wonderful playing , I had the inspiration to devote my life to the guitar, and all music. May God Bless and keep you (my fellow Englishman). Simon Chowins

I've been listening to John's music since 1974, I was 14 back then. I hope he never finds the flying soucer that brought him to this planet so that he stays around continuing he's incredible musical journy . Thank you John!!! By the way, are you the one?...rsrsrs

[@dannyguillory8941]

Many years ago, I was introduced to this wonderful music and I was at a monastery in California. One of the visiting monks was Br. David Stendhal-Rast has gone on to share his thoughts about 'gratitude' and there is, unfortunately so little gratitude in our world. So much negativity. This was a beautiful interview, thank you.

[@revkenwiz]

Music has no GOAT, John is in the highest class for musicians playing guitar. Truly his shows are the finest that I have attended. Peace & love

[@francograpelli3060]

Wow this interview is a gem. The interviewer asked well tempered questions and has a huge part of making that interview so special. My first ever record of John McLaughlin was the legendary "Friday Night in San Francisco". Three GOATs united and i could from the first ever beginning of this fandom feel the spirit of this interview. His words filled my heart with joy and confidence.

[@jamestonguet1737]

The humble Master , always an honor to see and hear him

[@dominicbrinkley8007]

This guy is a huge inspiration to me as a guitar player, I’m 28 and this is just incredibly inspiring how he has just continued to play through the decades. Love his work with Miles Davis and Mahavishnu Orchestra, I’ll need to check out Shakti

[@Gibfenez]

God bless you John, your music , your life given to so many is a tribute to humanity itself. Many you enjoy life and heart. Thank you.

[@TimmyGMusic]

John IS the best living guitar player. 100% of other living guitarists would agree. It's simply a fact!

[@flame-sky7148]

He didn’t take it to weird places. He took music to places beyond. 🎶

[@anjinsanx44]

Visions of the emerald beyond!

[@paulauksztulewicz4803]

I’m lucky to have met John in Northern California after his 4th dimension show. The most gentle soul I’ve had a pleasure to meet. John autographed the back plate of my guitar. That guitar sounds amazing with his spirit having touched it.

[@naderzekrya5238]

The Indian spirit has really penetrated this yorkshireman

[@Pedro2706]

Certainly has-I was wondering where his South yorkshire accent went-he sort of sounds slightly Indian-top bloke though.

[@David-mw3sb]

So much respect and gratitude to you Dear Sir.

[@City2x]

Love this man! Big hero and inspiration. 🙏🏿

[@JimDiakatos]

God bless you Great Guitarist I have you in my heart....

[@wesworach7441]

Maestro McLaughlin !

[@bassmonk2920]

Maestro speaks the truth...

[@rodrigoodonsalcedocisneros9266]

Dude looks hella healthy for 80! Hope he remains that way for long.

[@evank6738]

Love the birds in the background

[@CliffordMartinOnline]

Wonderful Interview!

[@kleberveridianogoncalvesde6293]

God bless you, John !!!

[@blasestebanmartinezfragn-bi6tw]

John es para mi un sentido de vida, veo lo caracteristico de un genio, La Humildad, siendo un virtuoso, estas caracteristicas solo las veo en personas muy contadas, Gracias por la musica John y Gracis por compartir

[@GaryP-t4w]

You're my IDOL 🎸🙏💕🎼🎵🎶

[@aindriubradleymarshall6226]

Lovely interview.

[@erlenbuscheduard4545]

KLASSE MÜSIK MANN !!!

[@ExxylcrothEagle]

Just ask "what's next"? "What excites you musically right now"?

[@MBSTYLE57]

he was good friends with R.i.p. Jeff BECK ; odd couple you might say. But , both lifelong dedicated guys !

[@rickmarcel1916]

Deep Guy 👍🏾💽

[@jamesconraadtucker]

She's a horrible interviewer though credit for trying. This is not her first language. John let's her down easy, and always remains the distinctive artist and gentlemen that he is. TY.!

[@timcarr953]

I thought so too. I don't think she knew who he was.

CAPO

[@Frisbieinstein]

I take it that John is not a fan of death metal.

[@Oneness100]

I doubt it.

[@Malcolm701]

I can think of quite a few better guitarists than McLaughglin- I think he's a boring musician- he could do better with his talent and ability. 'Adventures in Radio Land' is an example of his more interesting work.
