Nice! But can he play the blues? LOL!
Haha!
maybe… if he’s looking to play in a bar the rest of his life…
True1
Holy cow…
I love how he doesn’t even use his pinky finger.
I’m always impressed with the current generation of young players. May they find employment as musicians.
So many do not!
It’s just the beginning Al!
Us old bastards need work to.
So true Joe.
tres bon sept up
solid…
Samuel, that was extremely impressive. Your use of passing tones and articulation was superb. I have never tried piccolo tunings, but I am going to now. Thank you for posting this incredible video.
Pretty stuff that would make for a nice house remix I think.
Not bad but there was too much delay.
Excellent!
