So I busted out my DVD of Eric Johnson playing on Austin City Limits from 1988 last night. It's been a while since I listened to it but going through each song I began to remember how killer Kyle Brock is and how great of a sound he gets from that jazz bass. Check it out sometime if you get a chance. Kyle's licks, solos, and chords mixed with his tone makes for some enjoyable listening. (and Eric Johnsons not that bad either)  . And checkout his Seymour Duncan/Hiwatt/mystery cab rig too. |

His tone is killer, and his playing is always melodic, emotive, and perfect for the song. Even though he is usually quite restrained most of the time, he's got some incredible chops. He never got anywhere near the recognition he deserved.

| | | | Check his solo at "eas west" at austin live . alway makes my jaws open. I would never trade that solo to any fast, says-nothing monster bassists solo of too much bassist from now. That solo is just the "right" ending for such remarkable song. He rellay captures the mojo of thta sound. Maybe the reason WHY maybe the best guitar player in the world still plays with himĦĦĦĦ |

Much respect for Kyle down here in Austin, Texas, always wondered if the pedal he used was delay or chorus to sweeten up his solo's. I went out and bought leather pants only to discover they were hot as hell to perform in.

At any rate, he always seemed to find time to talk to anyone that was seriously interested in music. And he was a great player even then.

| | | | Kyle absolutely dominated in the late 70's. the zenith was the Eric Johnson group. I saw them a few times between 79-81. unbelievable. it was aggressive fusion with wonderful ragged edges. Kyle mostly played a 57 P with J pu added. 200 watt hiwatt heads with a 4x12, and what he told me was an 18" in a 412 enclosure. he used an echoplex and a maestro bass brassmaster. amazing sound and concept. one of my biggest influences. |
