This is some nice guitar playing.

Oops. Please move to regular OT.

I've been tellin' you boyz for years about this song, but you just don't listen.

Everything sounds better in black and white
The guy can really play!

Wow, I really admire artists that can fill in the bass, voice and percussion while playing the melody.

That makes me laugh and laugh and laugh. I bet I'll be chuckling all day. Thanks

I never really "got" open tunings - I dig guys who make that work. What's funny is he's doing a bunch of slap bass techniques through that.

I kinda like this Crazy:

And we're doing a version of this tune (with some Long Train Runnin' tossed into the middle. Ray was the man...this is absolutely sick. Listen how he does a ritard into the verse

Thanks for the "Crazy" songs, Jeremy. (I've heard it before but didn't pay it much attention. I don't listen to Top40 or whatever the kids call it these days.)

I like each version for the interpretation by the artist. I like the Paulo Nutini version the best, though. It ALMOST rocks but not really enough to change the song drastically.

BTW-that Nelly chick is quite the looker!!!:D

I don't know the song, either... but Don Ross covers it well. But then again, I'm a sucker for finger-style guitar!

Like the Don Ross version--very nice.

But come on, he did not chew gum and sing while playing. Greg could play some but then there is Carl Palmer (#3 drummer) and Keith Emerson( #1 keyboards) to compete with in their band of 3.

If you like that playing by Don Ross check out Michael Hedges--he did everything Don was doing, but did it 20 years ago...

(Must've been in his dirty hippie phase)

Guys you can't forget Edgar Cruz, he's and Okie and one helluva guitarist. There is a local eatery that you can catch him at a few times a year. He sits in the corner and just jams by request all night.

The A.R.T of Edgar Cruz, video shot by me handheld at a local show.

Interestingly enough Micheal Hedges is from OK too.... Not everything from OK is bad (except that one guy from that band BHTM)....

I saw Michael Hedges perform at a NAMM concert several years ago. Also heard Tommy Emmanuel and Lawrence Juber. all fantastic guitarists!

You mean many years ago. SmileWavy Sadly he died in a car crash in 1997. :(

Hedges is one of my music heroes.

Yep,
It was a long time ago, as I get older, the years tend to fly by...

slight topic deviation - I dig Pink's version of Crazy. The band is incredibly tight:

i just heard that Pink is pregnant, & she is going to name the kid Jameson, - after the scotch.
at least she has good taste in scotch
