Indianapolis has a wealth of talented, and mostly under appreciated players working their cans off every day of the week. Thanks for giving a few of them their due. Each of them are fabulous guitar players. I would like to see more profiles of local players in the future that represent a variety of instruments and genres. PS: dubox840 is right. Jake and Brendan from Umphrey's McGee are monster guitar players.

Hoosier Native band Umphrey's Mcgee will be playing at the Lawn at White river. They feature two guitar gods in Jake Cinninger and Brendan Bayliss. I like to describe them as if someone was going to look at my cd collection and make a fantasy band for me, this what they would come up with. They are an improg band (improvisational progressive)and play everything from Jazz to Metal to Techno. Quite possibly the best live band of the decade. Take my word on it.....you will not be disappointed.

If they do, they're idiots. I've played guitar about 10 years. I love to play for my own enjoyment and relaxation, though I've never progressed beyond the novice rhythm level. I don't have the time to devote to becoming a skilled rhythm player, let alone a lead player. Heck, I only know a few lead licks at all. What I like about Guitar Hero is that I can pretend to be that lead guitar star, the one I'll never be for real. And I'm okay with that. So don't knock GH. I mean, we don't knock people for playing Madden, even though they may not be any good in a real game of football, right?
