Re: Guitar solos in Cajun Music

Sam Broussard in Steve Riley & The Mamou Playboys.
...now he can do it ! VERY VERY well.

BTW..when we were in Nashville at the Grand ol Opry a couple of years ago The Infamous Stringdusters were playing...fantastic bluegrass....and their young, flat-pickin' guitarist was a joy to watch and hear....you could search them out on Youtube.

Re: Guitar solos in Cajun Music

Yeah, I was thinking the same. Sam can play that thing for sure! I have seen the boys play live many times and they never cease to amaze me, not to mention make me exhausted,

Re: Guitar solos in Cajun Music

I agree that all yu have to do is see Steve Riley or pop in a CD and you hear what an accomplished guitarist can do in Cajun music. Sam really kicks it for sure. I have heard from guitar players that you have arrived when you can take a lead in a waltz. Also, Wayne Toups uses lots of guitar in his music and he does play lots of stuff with a twostep dance groove. He killed at Jazzfest this year.
