> [@River\_Hippie](#): > > [Gabriella with Tommy Emmanuel](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQHVzFLsfZ8) Deviating a little from the intent of this thread by including a big name player, TE. Well, if you’re going to go there, here is a video of an impromptu song warm-up for Tommy Emmanuel and Frank Vignola, supported by what sounds like a bassist and an additional guitar player (they are flashed at the end). But Tommy and Frank are swinging so damn hard and syncing up on wonderful twin harmony leads - it all has that fresh, totally spontaneous feel that makes it sound just amazing. Being crammed into the corner of some backstage space adds to the fun. Tommy is playing a '30’s Gibson-made Kalamazoo, the kind of guitar Robert Johnson mainly played. Tommy uses it a bit differently here 😉 Enjoy: [https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=PvNuigQrFM8](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=PvNuigQrFM8) That girl singer who does Zep’s Whole Lotta Love has pipes. So interesting to see some of this stuff - I don’t seek out this type of stuff on youtube. That woman guitar player, Gabriella Quesada - great technique. Wish she played with more spontenaity and edge. I like a bit of slop, like what Tommy and Frank do even as they groove hard and play technically superhard things. ---

https://www.youtube.com/embed/6Uq52nugofo?feature=oembed&wmode=opaque&list=RD6Uq52nugofo A British R&B singer with a single guitarist doing a cover of **Prince’s** How Come You Don’t Call Me Anymore. My favorite Prince song. I really like this verion - better than Alicia Keys’ cover. If this woman took down the melisma (vocal gymnastics) a notch and just sang it more straight, it would be even better. But the simplicity of the single-guitar arrangement is closer to Prince’s piano-only arrangement. I am going to have to learn that part! ---

[quote=“River\_Hippie, post:22, topic:738269”] Alice Cooper cover. [/QUOTE] Oh yeah! Its a bit weird to hear this in someone else’s voice. I’m used to either Alice or our tribute band front man. (He sounds a lot like Alice!) This guy can sing, for sure, but its his own voice without any attempt to do an exact cover. I’ve got to say, he did a really good job when you consider that he also did the quite tricky guitar licks too. Alice only has to sing! ---
