Steve Morse & Dave LaRue

[@lifereviews74]

Steve Morse style always brings it with a happy mood.. Love it. Thanks for sharing.

[@teacherrussell5206]

It's always fun to watch someone who loves their work so much and is so good at it😄

I think they are one of the best guitar/bass duo of all times.

Two one-half blistering hours; came out after to hang, sign autographs (He signed a set-list I grabbed from the stage.) He was as relaxed as hanging in his man-cave. A genuinely good guy..

+David McCain I know what you mean!

[@Billo1281]

100% agree!

[@adam525]

Me too. He's really starting to favor that right wrist a lot though, which scares me.

[@ellokittymew]

The glove on Steve's right hand is due to an issue from playing for so many years. It had worn down to bone on bone and was very painful. In 2016 he is recovery from surgery and has a mobile "cast" that still allows him to play and looks a lot like what he is wearing now. But, he admitted in an interview that he had to change his picking technique due to the limitations of the cast. Considering all the work he has put in down through the years, this doesn't surprise me. One of the best and most prolific artists of our time.

[@rafaelcarmany463]

I have noticed him grimacing a lot - and it doesn't look from concentrating. It's def painful.

[@pauls_guitartrip]

I thought like that too 15 years ago. Today I grown out of Steve Morse Music, there so many musicians that attract my taste much more than Steve. Chris Thile, Bill Frisell, Josh Smith, Bireli Lagrene,etc

[@tracyeaves4847]

@@pauls_guitartrip I have yet to hear a guitarist who has the wide range skills of SM. There are a lot of amazing one trick guitarist out there, but non of with the melodic fluidness, class licks, and seasoned ability. The sheer mastery of styles heard on his records along is unmatched.

[@HC_GUITAR]

Steve is the ultimate guitar player in that he plays all styles with equal virtuosity and is so musical!! Dave is an amazing bass player too and all the playing they have done together really shows here!!

[@GTORacer]

Steve Morse is heads and shoulders above virtually anyone else in total musicality...just unreal what a talent he is. Dave is incredible as well. I've been following SMB and the Dixie Dregs since the early 80's. I never tire of it.

[@richardrobbins9660]

So true I hear so many instrumental guitarist these days and none of them hold a candle to Steve Morse in terms of tone or harmonic understanding. Plus with an instrumental group like the dregs you had total musical integration violin keys. Bass. an awesome drummer and of course Steves virtuosic guitar playing. Yes Dave LaRue is awesome. You got to be good to hang with Morse. Once again a demonstration of tone and harmonic understanding So lacking in instrumental guitar music today.

[@erajad]

Yep - and love their work with Flying Colors. Different "genre", same great musicianship.

[@BrianShive]

SM super man Steve Morse. Humble, floating above the proud. Thanks

I have met both of these guys..both are class acts.steve is still the best guitarist I have ever heard.

[@Jackson12438]

One of the most technician musicians! I love them! Great!

[@VictorCavalcanteVC]

Steve Morse studied in music school, which made his chord compositions and cadences sophisticated, complex. In some compositions there is a clear influence of Baroque music, especially by J. S. Bach. Steve's a master.

[@luishunabamaya5654]

WTF Steve Morse never gets old!

[@leszekwodarczyk2864]

Dwaj mistrzowie. W mojej ocenie najlepsze dou na świecie. Ich muzyka brzmi jak wspaniałe, wielogłosowe chorały.

[@ellokittymew]

Steve is in his 60s and injuries mount up after shredding for over 50 years. He broke his left arm (affected the way he plays) and has a repetitive injury to his right wrist. Resulting in the loss of most of the cartilage in that wrist. He has had to change the way he plays and you can see, at this point, that he is learning how to play with a stiff wrist, as opposed to the anchored, wrist "rolling" action which gave him his blinding technical speed in his prime. Check out "Steve Morse Band - Live, 1990 Full Concert", or if you like Purple, "Deep Purple Live in Poland, 1996". To see vintage Morse, check out a 3 part series called "Odd Steve Morse Stuff", which goes way back to the early 80s with the Dregs. I saw the Dregs several times in the late 70s/early 80s era and it changed my taste in music. Steve is one of only 3 guitarists to be named "Overall Guitarist of The Year" 5 years in a row - retiring him from the competition and putting him into the Gallery of Greats. The other 2 are Steve Howe (YES) and Eric Johnson. Steve attended the U Miami School of Music where, among other things, he studied classical guitar. Check out "Steve Morse Solo Acoustic - 9/26/90". It was the place to be back in the early to mid 70s for musicians and besides some of his future Dregs band members, a couple of his classmates were Jaco Pastorius, Bruce Hornsby and Pat Metheney. Not a bad class.

[@KingTabor]

It hurts seeing him battle his right wrist, but it is also a inspiration. A man fully compromised w/ his art

[@cricri8022]

ellokittymew really interesting thank you.... you have good taste of music. Morse, Howe and Johnson, are art of my all time favorite. I found an old cd few days ago with a cover of « the clap » played by Steve Morse... you should enjoy ;)

[@tbcass]

This is really good, Classically (Baroque) inspired. I liked the way they inserted the Sir Duke riff in Donna Lee. Dave LaRue is one of the best most under appreciated bassists around today. When people make lists of the best bassists they rarely mention him but he is as good as anybody.

[@svogender]

Dave LaRue is waaay over the most bass player !!!!! IMO.........!!!

[@88omair]

tbcass Steve Morse hasn't kept LaRue as his bassist for decades in multiple bands for nothing
