Jeff Parker

[Douglas Showalter]

Hello everyone! I just wanted to post a thread regarding one of my favorite guitar players, Jeff Parker. I am certain I have mentioned him before but an entire thread was on my mind...so here! :cool:

Jeff resides in Chicago where he plays a ton of jazz, rock, and experimental music. He is a Berklee grad, and has a style and approach to music that I really admire. I still feel he is a very unknown player and while he is not a huge chops, shred guy; he is certainly a tasty player that has a touch on the instrument that has always appealed to my ears. Hopefully you can find something in his playing you like. Below are links to videos you can check out. Enjoy! ;)

Nice! I notice that he has some serious "guitar face." Some habit that certain players develop. Definitely signals a player who is really into his music, almost anticipating the feel of the next riff.
