That was pretty cool!  I've always liked that quartet stuff, where the guitar is the main instrument!

Larry Carter is  close friend of mine, have played with him on numerous occasions. He's a great guy. The reason most people have never heard of him is because he is UPC, and unless you are UPC you're not going to hear about many of the very talented artists that they have because it is such a closed group.

The UPC is more careful about their doctrine and they take a stand about it.  I understand what you mean about their musicians' fame and I guess you can say a closed group, but just in case someone misunderstands you...UPC do welcome whosoever is lost and the unsaved to Christ's salvation.


Now, I like Dubose, too.  I think he plays congregations songs very well.  In the Olympics, you have more than one representing a country and going for gold.  J. Dubose and others may be aiming for the prize...(see 1 Corinthians 9:24 and Philippians 3:14). 

Check out this link to some of Dubose's recordings...esp. #7

it wasn't a slam....i am a staff pastor at a church that still has UPC ties. In the last year i have played at the UPC general conference, youth congress, because of the times, and numerous district youth conferences. i was just speaking from experience and a close firsthand knowledge of the organization and it's leaders. like i said, it wasn't a slam, it's simply fact. it's a circle i've been in and played/taught/ministered in for 15-20 years.

I agree with you.

[DaWizard]

Right, and I saw a fair deal of mediocrity.

I'm not bashing, but I've yet to see a Dubose clip where I was like, "yeah, he's really stinking good." It's more like, "Eh... he's ok..."

I may be completely wrong. If you can point me to a clip that would move me, then great, I'll 180* and admit he's great, but he just doesn't grab me.

He's not bad, he's ok, but his playing doesn't really grab me.

I'd dial right past it if I were flipping through the radio stations.

That's all.

 ...i forgive you!!!!  Plz God do the same for this man!!!  Lol!!!

OK, I'm flipping through all this mow.

It kinda reaffirmed me... he's a very good talent--I can't deny that--but there's something that's not there that I need to really enjoy music.

Kinda felt like I was sitting in the doctor's office flipping through a motor trend.

Maybe he's one of those you have to see live.

Maybe I just don't dig his style. Maybe I'm too picky.

I'm not saying I'm anything--because I'm not--but all that stuff sounds (to me) just like everything else I've heard in the genre.

I'm glad that you guys all really enjoy him, but I couldn't roll to it, that's all I'm saying. It's great background music, though 

[JayP5150]

Do not worry about brother.JAY say Prince can not play either

Easy... lol I never said that.

I never said DuBose CAN'T play. In fact, I said he has a great deal of talent, but there's something that's just "not there" for me.

It does not grab me at all.

There are a lot of guitarists that I can recognize with just a few notes... you hear them and you're like, oh, that's so-and-so.

He's not one of them. It's not distinctive. It doesn't stand out at all. It's just one more over-compressed Strat busting out jazz licks. It's GOOD, it's just not for me.

That's all.

If it's y'all's bag, then great! I'm happy for you.

It's just not my bag.

  <See? A Smiley. We're all friends here. No hard feelings.

Just playing JAY,It all gooood.If you do do not dig them dudes,man that is fine.I AM FINISH WITH THE DEBATES,i am here to learn.

You are one of the dudes i learn from.I am still digging part 2,you know what song i am talking about

[JayP5150]

You are one of the dudes i learn from.I am still digging part 2,you know what song i am talking about

That means a lot to me. I really appreciate when someone appreciates me lol 

I'm playing, but really, it does mean a lot. Like I said, I don't claim to be anything, I just play what I can.

I wasn't trying to debate. Maybe I've been grouchy lately lol.

Carry on, LGM

That's not the best quality, but you'll dig the intro to that song. See if you can place it, Mr. PrinceFan...&nbsp;

You're RIGHT!  I truly dug that INTRO.

(Well...at least the part that began, "Ladies and Gentlemen,...Mr. George Porter Jr!")

After that it kinda sounded like same 'ol Warren Haynes noodlin' over old covers....BUT it DID have George Porter Jr. on bass!!

Mr. Porter is ma bass hero from way back. I lub me some Meters!   

[Sonar]

That was great! I think it was the sea foam green Strat lol.

He traversed at least three distinct styles through that.

Here's what I don't understand, if there are gospel players out there like that, why does everyone make such a fuss of J. DuBose?

I know he wasn't mentioned yet, I'm just wondering (cause I know it's coming... well... it is now lol).

1. That Strat is NOT close to being Sea Form Green...it's some metallic green mess.

2. Clip reminded me of Michael J. Fox's guitar work at the prom in "Back To The Future"...except Fox played more evenly.

3. This is a great clip to demonstrate how a Stratocaster DOESN'T sound like a Telecaster. Guy was pullin' off all kinda of Tele-style double stops that sounded like they simply missed the percussive "thwack" that a Tele brings. Strat settles for a middle ground between Les Paul & Tele...and this seemingly stock Strat showed it's limitations.

4. DuBose is smooth and thoughtful. I appreciate smooth and even over this uneven kinda everything-but-the-kitchen-sink kinda display. Wade Carter sorta sounded like a guy playing all his best and quickest music store showcase licks back to back while falling down a flight of stairs. Timing is NOT this guys friend.

The intro was the only part that was a cover. Warren wrote Beautifully Broken with his Organ player.

I can see what you're saying, though.

Guthrie doing his thing...
